An event-based account of coordination stabilityPsychonomic Bulletin & Review - Tập 13 - Trang 702-710 - 2006
Rebecca M. C. Spencer, Andras Semjen, Stephanie Yang, Richard B. Ivry
Constraints underlying bimanual coordination have traditionally been explained by dynamic interactions between the effectors. However, the present experiments demonstrate that a fundamental constraint on bimanual performance is the manner in which task goals are represented. In Experiment 1, participants vocalized during in-phase and anti-phase bimanual movements. As expected, most participants sp...... hiện toàn bộ
Implicitly learned suppression of irrelevant spatial locationsPsychonomic Bulletin & Review - Tập 23 - Trang 1873-1881 - 2016
Andrew B. Leber, Rachael E. Gwinn, Yoolim Hong, Ryan J. O’Toole
How do we ignore a salient, irrelevant stimulus whose location is predictable? A variety of studies using instructional manipulations have shown that participants possess the capacity to exert location-based suppression. However, for the visual search challenges we face in daily life, we are not often provided explicit instructions and are unlikely to consciously deliberate on what our best strate...... hiện toàn bộ
What is pressure? Evidence for social pressure as a type of regulatory focusPsychonomic Bulletin & Review - Tập 16 - Trang 344-349 - 2009
Darrell A. Worthy, Arthur B. Markman, W. Todd Maddox
Previous research (Markman, Maddox, & Worthy, 2006) suggests that pressure leads to choking when one is learning to classify items on the basis of an explicit rule, but it leads to excelling when one is learning to classify items on the basis of an implicit strategy. In this article, we relate social pressure to regulatory focus theory. We propose that the effects of pressure on performance arise ...... hiện toàn bộ
Sleep deprivation affects multiple distinct cognitive processesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review - Tập 16 - Trang 742-751 - 2009
Roger Ratcliff, Hans P. A. Van Dongen
Sleep deprivation adversely affects the ability to perform cognitive tasks, but theories range from predicting an overall decline in cognitive functioning (because of reduced stability in attentional networks) to claiming specific deficits in executive functions. In the present study, we measured the effects of sleep deprivation on a two-choice numerosity discrimination task. A diffusion model was...... hiện toàn bộ
Updating false beliefs: The role of misplaced vs. well-placed certaintyPsychonomic Bulletin & Review - Tập 30 - Trang 712-721 - 2022
Irmak Olcaysoy Okten, Tianshu Huang, Gabriele Oettingen
People can update their misconceptions or false beliefs by learning from corrective sources. However, research has shown that people vary drastically in the extent to which they learn from feedback and update their false beliefs accordingly. That past work drew attention to cognitive and motivational factors such as cognitive rigidity and closed-mindedness as inhibitors of belief updating. Here we...... hiện toàn bộ
The difference engine: A model of diversity in speeded cognitionPsychonomic Bulletin & Review - Tập 10 - Trang 262-288 - 2003
Joel Myerson, Sandra Hale, Yingye Zheng, Lisa Jenkins, Keith F. Widaman
A theory of diversity in speeded cognition, the difference engine, is proposed, in which information processing is represented as a series of generic computational steps. Some individuals tend to perform all of these computations relatively quickly and other individuals tend to perform them all relatively slowly, reflecting the existence of a general cognitive speed factor, but the time required f...... hiện toàn bộ
The sense of agency in joint action: An integrative reviewPsychonomic Bulletin & Review - Tập 29 - Trang 1089-1117 - 2022
Janeen D. Loehr
When people perform joint actions together, their individual actions (e.g., moving one end of a heavy couch) must be coordinated to achieve a collective goal (e.g., moving the couch across the room). Joint actions pose unique challenges for understanding people’s sense of agency, because each person engaged in the joint action can have a sense of agency not only at the individual level (a sense th...... hiện toàn bộ
Zipf’s law revisited: Spoken dialog, linguistic units, parameters, and the principle of least effortPsychonomic Bulletin & Review - - 2023
Guido M. Linders, Max M. Louwerse
AbstractThe ubiquitous inverse relationship between word frequency and word rank is commonly known as Zipf’s law. The theoretical underpinning of this law states that the inverse relationship yields decreased effort in both the speaker and hearer, the so-called principle of least effort. Most research has focused on showing an inverse relationship only for written ...... hiện toàn bộ
Signing enhances memory like performing actionsPsychonomic Bulletin & Review - Tập 10 - Trang 450-454 - 2003
Hubert D. Zimmer, Johannes Engelkamp
In three experiments, we investigated the influence of the overt performance of signs on memory. Deaf and hearing participants studied lists of action phrases (Experiment 1) or nouns (Experiment 2) under standard verbal instruction, under the instructions to sign the verbal phrase, to symbolically perform the denoted action, or to carry out a prototypical action corresponding to each noun. Higher ...... hiện toàn bộ
