Li, Yangping; Beaty, Roger E.; Luchini, Simone; Dai, David Yun; Xiang, Shuoqi; Qi, Senqing; Li, Yadan; Zhao, Ruili; Wang, Xuewei; Hu, Weiping – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to enhance divergent and convergent creative thinking. Yet, how stimulation impacts creative performance over time, and what cognitive mechanisms underlie any such enhancement, remain largely unanswered questions. In the present research,…

Kolarec, Biserka; Nincevic, Marina – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2022
The object of research is a statistics exam that contains problem tasks. One examiner performed two exam evaluation methods to repeatedly evaluate the exam. The goal was to compare the methods for objectivity. One of the two exam evaluation methods we call a serial evaluation method. The serial evaluation method assumes evaluation of all exam…

Baddeley, Alan D.; Hitch, Graham J.; Quinlan, Philip T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Immediate serial recall of verbal material is highly sensitive to impairment attributable to phonological similarity. Although this has traditionally been interpreted as a within-sequence similarity effect, Engle (2007) proposed an interpretation based on interference from prior sequences, a phenomenon analogous to that found in the Peterson…

Röer, Jan Philipp; Bell, Raoul; Körner, Ulrike; Buchner, Axel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Short-term memory (STM) for serially presented visual items is disrupted by task-irrelevant, to-beignored speech. Five experiments investigated the extent to which irrelevant speech is processed semantically by contrasting the following two hypotheses: (1) semantic processing of irrelevant speech is limited and does not interfere with serial STM…
