Gettleman, Jessica N.; Grabman, Jesse H.; Dobolyi, David G.; Dodson, Chad S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
When pristine testing conditions are used, an eyewitness's high-confidence identification from a lineup can be a reliable predictor of their identification accuracy (Wixted & Wells, 2017). Further, Grabman, Dobolyi, Berelovich, and Dodson (2019) found that high-confidence identifications are more predictive of accuracy for individuals with…

Fournet, Colas; Mirault, Jonathan; Perea, Manuel; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In four experiments, we investigated the impact of letter case (lower case vs. UPPER CASE) on the processing of sequences of written words. Experiment 1 used the rapid parallel visual presentation (RPVP) paradigm with postcued identification of one word in a five-word sequence. The sequence could be grammatically correct (e.g., "the boy likes…

Chamberlain, Jenna M.; Gagné, Christina L.; Spalding, Thomas L.; Lõo, Kaidi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Three experiments using a spelling error detection task investigated the extent to which morphemes and pseudomorphemes affect word processing. We compared the processing of transparent compound words (e.g., doorbell), pseudocompound words (e.g., carpet), and matched control words (e.g., tomato). In half of the compound and pseudocompound words,…

Wen, Yun; Mirault, Jonathan; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
In 2 ERP experiments participants read 4-word sequences presented for 200 ms (RPVP paradigm) and were required to decide whether the word sequences were grammatical or not. In Experiment 1, the word sequence consisted of either a grammatically correct sentence (e.g., "she can sing now") or an ungrammatical scrambled sequence (e.g.,…

Rebei, Adnan; Anderson, Nathaniel D.; Dell, Gary S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Every language has unique phonotactics, general rules about how phonemes combine to make syllables. We know that people can implicitly learn new phonotactic rules in the laboratory, and these rules then affect their speech errors. Some types of rules, however, require a consolidation period before they influence speech errors. Two experiments are…

Chen, Jinglu; Tan, Ling; Liu, Lu; Wang, Ling – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
It has been demonstrated that the Simon effect may be increased or reversed due to proportion congruency manipulation, suggesting that learned spatial irrelevant stimulus-response (S-R) associations are used to guide responses. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that learning spatial irrelevant S-R associations by rewards may show a similar…

Grainger, Jonathan; Beyersmann, Elisabeth – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Two masked priming experiments investigated the impact of prime lexicality (word vs. nonword) and the pseudo-morphological structure of prime stimuli (pseudosuffixed vs. nonsuffixed) on embedded word priming effects. In the related prime conditions, target words were embedded at the beginning of prime stimuli and were followed either by a…

Bahnmueller, Julia; Maier, Carolin A.; Göbel, Silke M.; Moeller, Korbinian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Language-specific differences in number words influence number processing even in nonverbal numerical tasks. For instance, the unit-decade compatibility effect in two-digit number magnitude comparison (compatible number pairs [42_57: 4 < 5 and 2 < 7] are responded to faster than incompatible pairs [47_62: 4 < 6 but 7 > 2]) was shown to…

Bradford, Elisabeth E. F.; Brunsdon, Victoria E. A.; Ferguson, Heather J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Perspective-taking plays an important role in daily life, allowing consideration of other people's perspectives and viewpoints. This study used a large sample of 265 community-based participants (aged 20-86 years) to examine changes in perspective-taking abilities--a component of "Theory of Mind"--across adulthood, and how these changes…

Ordin, Mikhail; Polyanskaya, Leona; Soto, David – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
We assessed the effect of bilingualism on metacognitive processing in the artificial language learning task, in 2 experiments varying in the difficulty to segment the language. Following a study phase in which participants were exposed to the artificial language, segmentation performance was assessed by means of a dual forced-choice recognition…

Lin, Yu-Cheng; Lin, Pei-Ying; Yeh, Li-Hao – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Previous studies on spoken word production have shown that native English speakers used phoneme-sized units (e.g., a word-initial phoneme, C) to produce English words, and native Mandarin Chinese speakers employed syllable-sized units (e.g., a word-initial consonant and vowel, CV) as phonological encoding units in Chinese. With spoken word…

Schuster, Swetlana; Lahiri, Aditi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
On the evidence of four lexical-decision tasks in German, we examine speakers' sensitivity to internal morphological composition and abstract morphological rules during the processing of derived words, real and novel. In a lexical-decision task with delayed priming, speakers were presented with two-step derived nouns such as "Heilung…

Bader, Markus; Meng, Michael – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Most current models of sentence comprehension assume that the human parsing mechanism (HPM) algorithmically computes detailed syntactic representations as basis for extracting sentence meaning. These models share the assumption that the representations computed by the HPM accurately reflect the linguistic input. This assumption has been challenged…

Friesen, Deanna C.; Ward, Olivia; Bohnet, Jessica; Cormier, Pierre; Jared, Debra – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
The current study investigated whether shared phonology across languages activates cross-language meaning when reading in context. Eighty-five bilinguals read English sentences while their eye movements were tracked. Critical sentences contained English members of English-French interlingual homophone pairs (e.g., "mow"; French homophone…

Osth, Adam F.; Dennis, Simon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Henson (1996) provided a number of demonstrations of error patterns in serial recall that contradict chaining models. Chaining models predict that when participants erroneously recall an item too early, recall should proceed from the point of error. In contradiction to such a prediction, Henson found evidence for a fill-in effect: participants…
