Locus of semantic interference in picture-word interference tasks.

Picture-word interference studies typically show that semantically related distractor words embedded within a picture slow picture-naming responses, relative to unrelated ones. This semantic interference effect is commonly interpreted as arising from the ...

Relationship between priming and recognition in deterministic and probabilistic sequence learning.

Exposure to a repeating sequence of target stimuli in a speeded localization task can support both priming of sequence-consistent responses and recognition of sequence components. In 3 experiments with both deterministic and probabilistic sequences, the ...

Boys with ADHD in social interaction with a nonfamiliar adult: an observational study.

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the nature of social interaction deficits in boys with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHOD: Twenty Dutch hyperactive boys and 19 peer controls were observed using an ethological method during social interaction ...

Effects of cross-modal and intramodal division of attention on perceptual implicit memory.

Extant results motivate 3 hypotheses on the role of attention in perceptual implicit memory. The first proposes that only intramodal manipulations of attention reduce perceptual priming. The second attributes reduced priming to the effects of distractor ...

Prosody-assisted head-driven access to spoken German compounds.

Auditory processing of German 2-noun compound words was investigated with 328 participants in 4 experiments by monitoring semantic priming effects of the left constituents of the compound words. The authors demonstrated that there is no primacy of the ...

Backward inhibition as a means of sequential task-set control: evidence for reduction of task competition.

Endogenously initiated transitions between tasks are associated with inhibition of the attentional set for the task preceding the transition, as demonstrated by slowed reactions to a task most recently switched away from (U. Mayr & S. W. Keele, 2000). ...

Analysis of group differences in processing speed: Brinley plots, Q-Q plots, and other conspiracies.

Researchers in a growing number of areas (including cognitive development, aging, and neuropsychology) use Brinley plots to compare the processing speed of different groups. Ratcliff, Spieler, and McKoon (2000) argued that a Brinley plot is a ...

Inducing blindsight in normal observers.

We attempted to induce blindsight in normal observers, in an effort to replicate and extend the findings of Kolb and Braun (1995). In that demonstration, observers were able to localize a target in the absence of visual awareness, indicated by the lack ...

The multifaceted nature of unsupervised category learning.

A substantial portion of category-learning research has focused on one learning mode--namely, classification learning (a supervised learning mode). Subsequently, theories of category learning have focused on how the abstract structure of categories ...

Decision making under conflict: decision time as a measure of conflict strength.

Conflict and choice are closely related in that choice produces conflict and conflict is resolved by making a choice. Although conflict was invoked in psychological approaches to decision making early on (Lewin, 1931/1964), no generally accepted measure ...
