Proactive interference of visual working memory chunks implicates long-term memory
Visual working memory (VWM) is a limited cognitive resource that can be functionally expanded through chunking (Miller,
1956 ). For example,... -
Effects of proactive interference on olfactory memory in dogs
Proactive interference (PI) occurs when memories of past events or stimuli intrude in the present moment, causing working memory (WM) errors. These...

The resolution of proactive interference in a novel visual working memory task: A behavioral and pupillometric study
Proactive interference (PI) occurs when previously learned information impairs memory for more recently learned information. Most PI studies have...

Memory and Proactive Interference for spatially distributed items
Our ability to briefly retain information is often limited. Proactive Interference (PI) might contribute to these limitations (e.g., when items in...

Does testing enhance new learning because it insulates against proactive interference?
Taking a test on previously learned material can enhance new learning. One explanation for this forward testing effect is that retrieval inoculates...

Individual differences in proactive interference in rats (Rattus Norvegicus)
Individual differences in behaviors are seen across many species, and investigations have focused on traits linked to aggression, risk taking,...

The influence of long-term memory on working memory: Age-differences in proactive facilitation and interference
Prior learning can hinder subsequent memory, especially when there is conflict between old and new information. The ability to handle this proactive...

Cognitive flexibility in the wild: Individual differences in reversal learning are explained primarily by proactive interference, not by sampling strategies, in two passerine bird species
Behavioural flexibility allows animals to adjust to changes in their environment. Although the cognitive processes that explain flexibility have been...

Meaningful stimuli inflate the role of proactive interference in visual working memory
The use of meaningful daily objects in visual working memory (VWM) tasks revealed two uncharacteristic findings: enlarged memory capacity, and strong...

Neural basis of reward expectancy inducing proactive aggression
Proactive aggression refers to deliberate and unprovoked behavior, typically motivated by personal gain or expected reward. Reward expectancy is...

Proactive control of attention in math-anxious individuals
Attentional control deficit has been proposed as one of the reasons for lower arithmetical performance in people with high math anxiety (HMA)....
-
A spatial version of the Stroop task for examining proactive and reactive control independently from non-conflict processes
Conflict-induced control refers to humans’ ability to regulate attention in the processing of target information (e.g., the color of a word in the...

Longitudinal effect of career-related parental support on vocational college students’ proactive career behavior: a moderated mediation model
Guided by career construction theory and the proactive motivation model, the current study investigated the longitudinal effect of career-related...

Age-Differential Effects of Proactive Control in Dual Tasking: The Moderating Effect of Task Difficulty
Dual tasking refers to the ability to perform two concurrent tasks. Using the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, two experiments...

Semantic Stroop interference is modulated by the availability of executive resources: Insights from delta-plot analyses and cognitive load manipulation
We investigated whether, during visual word recognition, semantic processing is modulated by attentional control mechanisms directed at matching...

Evidence that proactive distractor suppression does not require attentional resources
Does the suppression of irrelevant visual features require attentional resources? McDonald et al. (
2023 , Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 30, 224–234)... -
Contributions of proactive personality to career decision self-efficacy: mediating effect of positive affect and moderating roles of social class and gender
While the benefits of proactive personality to college students’ self-efficacy have been recognized, college students with relatively high proactive...

Comparing the functional neuroanatomy of proactive and reactive control between patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls
Cognitive control deficits are associated with impaired executive functioning in schizophrenia. The Dual Mechanisms of Control framework suggests...
