Interference in implicit memory caused by processing of interpolated material.

This study addresses the susceptibility of implicit memory to interference. Interference is manipulated by presenting interpolated lists of words that do or do not have word stems in common with previously studied target words (e.g., target word ...

Malleable attentional resources theory: a new explanation for the effects of mental underload on performance.

This paper proposes a new theory to account for the effects of underload on performance. Malleable attentional resources theory posits that attentional capacity can change size in response to changes in task demands. As such, the performance decrements ...
