Task cues are quickly updated into working memory as part of their processing: The multiple-cue task-switching paradigm
Goal-directed behavior requires maintaining the relevant goal in working memory (WM) and using it to guide behavior. The contents of WM should be...

No evidence for cross-paradigm transfer of abstract task knowledge in adults and school-aged children
Cognitive control is a hallmark of human cognition. A large number of studies have focused on the plasticity of cognitive control and examined how...

The Ambiguous Cue Task: Measurement reliability of an experimental paradigm for the assessment of interpretation bias and associations with mental health
Interpretation biases in the processing of ambiguous affective information are assumed to play an important role in the onset and maintenance of...
-
Representation of shared surface information and false memory for abstract versus concrete pictures in the conjoint recognition paradigm
An effective factor by which false memories can arise is relatedness which includes not only semantic associations but also perceptual resemblance....
-
Spatial cueing effects do not always index attentional capture: evidence for a priority accumulation framework
The spatial cueing paradigm is a popular tool to investigate under what conditions irrelevant objects capture attention against the observer’s...

Motion or sociality? The cueing effect and temporal course of autistic traits on gaze-triggered attention
Gaze-triggered attention changes have been found in individuals with high autistic traits in the nonclinical population. However, gaze cues used in...

Do salient abrupt onsets trigger suppression?
Many studies have indicated that abrupt onsets can capture our attention involuntarily. The present study examined whether task-irrelevant onsets...
-
Control strategy under pressure situations: performance pressure conditionally enhances proactive control
Previous research and theories have demonstrated that attentional control plays a crucial role in explaining the choking phenomenon (i.e., the...

Examining the role of attention during feature binding in visuospatial working memory
The current experiments address the enduring debate regarding the role of attention in feature binding in visuospatial working memory by considering...
-
Recognition memory: The probe, the returned signal, and the decision
In an attempt to better understand recognition memory we look at how three approaches (dual processing, signal detection, and global matching) have...

Unpredictive linguistic verbal cues accelerate congruent visual targets into awareness in a breaking continuous flash suppression paradigm
One of the most influential ideas within the domain of cognition is that of embodied cognition, in which the experienced world is the result of an...

Is long-term memory used in a visuo-spatial change-detection paradigm?
In tests of working memory with verbal or spatial materials, repeating the same memory sets across trials leads to improved memory performance. This...
-
The role of phonological and semantic representations in verbal short-term memory and delayed retention
It has been suggested that phonological representations play a central role in verbal short-term memory, but when semantic knowledge has been...

Spatial Attention to Emotional Images and Psychopathic Personality Traits
Psychopathy has often been thought to be associated with a deficit in processing of the affective content of stimuli. This hypothesis was tested by...
-
Behavioral measures of attention and cognitive control during a new auditory working memory paradigm
Proactive control is the ability to manipulate and maintain goal-relevant information within working memory (WM), allowing individuals to selectively...
-
Surface matches prevail over distant analogs during retrieval
Laboratory studies using a reception paradigm have found that memory items sharing similar entities and relations with a working memory cue (surface...

The impact of threat of shock-induced anxiety on alerting, orienting, and executive function in women: an ERP study
The present study used a combination of the Threat-of-Shock paradigm and the Attention Network Test (ANT) to investigate how induced anxiety affects...
-
Why does the probe value effect emerge in working memory? Examining the biased attentional refreshing account
People are able to prioritize more valuable information in working memory. The current study examined whether this value effect is due to the items...
-
Life motion signals modulate visual working memory
Previous research has demonstrated that biological motion (BM) cues can induce a reflexive attentional orienting effect, a phenomenon referred to as so...

The influence of context representations on cognitive control states
Cognitive control operates via two distinct mechanisms, proactive and reactive control. These control states are engaged differentially, depending on...
