Investigating the impact of narrativity on the congeniality bias
Oftentimes, people preferably select information confirming their prior beliefs—they show the congeniality bias. Here, we investigate two...
-
A lack of robust cross-domain structural priming effects
Structural priming effects within language (e.g., Bock,
1986 ) have guided theory and research on structural representation for several decades.... -
The impact of preference for interior space design on incidental recognition memory
The extent to which preference shapes memory formation remains debated. Across three experiments, we tested whether preference for images of interior...
-
Cognitive and metacognitive markers of memory retrieval performance in speech prosody
Prosodic cues in speech – such as F0, intensity, and articulation rate – have been shown to be related to cognitive processes, including memory...
-
Memory’s double take: Dissociating two forms of recollection in visual working memory
Visual working memory (VWM) supports both change detection and repetition detection, yet it remains unclear whether these operations can be...
-
The primed Stroop is not a Stroop task: Evidence from delta plots
The Stroop interference effect – slower color naming on incongruent trials (e.g., GREEN printed in red) compared to neutral trials (e.g., PRESS...
-
The role of revelation in the revelation effect in episodic recognition
Solving a task right before a memory decision tends to elicit a “yes” response in recognition tests, and the underlying mechanism of this so-called...
-
Effects of the semantic context on the processing of careful and casual speech
Listeners need contextual information to recognize the highly reduced word pronunciation variants that frequently occur in casual speech. Especially,...
-
Strategy effects and value directed recall of sub- and supra-span word lists
Value cues can promote selective processing of words in lists of 12 or more items leading to better recall of memoranda associated with higher value....
-
Limited cue integration in metacognitive control decisions
Metacognitive judgments and decisions involve uncertainty and rely on probabilistic cues. Prior research shows that people integrate multiple cues...
-
Role of sparse episodic information in the progressive construction of event time about unknown narratives
Narrative time is essential for understanding and remembering stories. Reconstructive memory theory posits that retrieving past events is not a mere...
-
Active dependency formation and ambiguity resolution in real-time sentence processing
In late-closure garden-path sentences such as “Whenever the boys hug Tom smiles happily”, the locally ambiguous noun phrase (“Tom”) is initially...
-
Context reinstatement increases true and false recognition of associated words: Evidence from the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) illusion
Reinstating context from encoding to retrieval increases true recognition (e.g., testing object memory on reinstated versus switched background...
-
Item-specific control of word reading as evidenced by a novel proportion wordness effect
Jacoby and colleagues demonstrated that control processes can adapt at the level of individual stimuli, giving rise to the item-specific proportion...
-
Investigating effects of divided attention at test on memory accessibility and precision in a continuous report paradigm
Previously reported tests for effects of dividing attention during long-term memory (LTM) retrieval have yielded inconclusive findings. This may be...
-
Confidence judgments, feelings of knowing and judgments of learning: Towards a common framework
This study investigates the hypothesis that the theoretical framework underlying the Self-Consistency Model of subjective confidence can be extended...
-
Working memory load attenuates the match effect in sentence-picture verification
Embodied views of language comprehension argue that the body’s perceptual and motor systems ground linguistic meaning. One source of support for this...
-
Subcategory vs category fluency: Items and networks in healthy young adults and simulation with a large language model
Category fluency tasks involve producing words constrained by a semantic field (animals). Subcategory fluency involves producing words from...
-
Memory encoding for new information, not autobiographical memory load, is linked with age-related differences in subjective time passage over the past decade
The widely replicated finding that time passage over the past decade is perceived as faster by older adults was the focus of this study. We...

Preview position versus length: Key factors in the time course of parallel processing in multitasking
Multitasking research has shown that individuals differ in whether they prefer a more serial or a more parallel mode of task processing at the level...
