Stimulus dependence and cross-modal interference in sequence learning
Published in:Â The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 12, 2535-2547 Abstract "A central issue in sequence learning is whether learning operates on stimulus-independent abstract elements, or whether surface features are integrated, resulting in stimulus-dependent learning. Using the serial ...
Global-local processing impacts academic risk taking
Published in: The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 12, 2434-2444 Abstract "Research has shown that academic risk taking—the selection of school tasks with varying difficulty levels—affords important implications for educational outcomes. In two experiments, we explored the role ...
Differences in holistic processing do not explain cultural differences in the recognition of facial expression
Published in:Â The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 12, 2445-2459 Abstract "The aim of this study was to investigate the causes of the own-race advantage in facial expression perception. In Experiment 1, we investigated Western Caucasian and Chinese ...
Temporal precision and the capacity of auditory–verbal short-term memory
Published in: The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 12, 2403-2418 Abstract "The capacity of serially ordered auditory–verbal short-term memory (AVSTM) is sensitive to the timing of the material to be stored, and both temporal processing and AVSTM capacity ...
Inhibition in task switching: The reliability of the n − 2 repetition cost
Published in: The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 12, 2419-2433 Abstract "The n − 2 repetition cost seen in task switching is the effect of slower response times performing a recently completed task (e.g. an ABA sequence) compared to performing ...
