Abstract. Whereas learning in every day life requires the inhibition of irrelevant information, standardized memory tests usually do not contain interfering stimuli. The present study aims at an initial evaluation of a new verbal learning paradigm that ...Lernen mit und ohne Ablenkung: Ein neues verbales Lernparadigma für die klinische NeuropsychologieZusammenfassung. Im Alltag erfordert Lernen die Unterdrückung irrelevanter Umgebungsreize. Demgegenüber werden ablenkende Reize in klinischen ...
Zusammenfassung: Der emotionale Stroop Test ist ein in der Forschung häufig eingesetztes Verfahren, um Interferenzeffekte durch emotionale oder krankheitsrelevante Stimuli zu untersuchen. So konnte gezeigt werden, dass Patienten mit Alkoholabhängigkeit ...
Patients with Active Implanted Medical Devices – Electromagnetic Fields at the WorkplaceAbstract. Active implanted medical devices become less and less susceptible to electromagnetic fields in the normal environment. At the work place however, there may ...
Imaginary reasoning and working memory: cognitive and cortical processesAbstract. Imaginary thinking is a vital, basic element of human cognition. However, in the psychological laboratory, the findings regarding the effect of imageability on reasoning ...
Interference in working memory: a formal modelAbstract. The authors propose a neural-network model of working memory. Contents of working memory are represented as distributed patterns of activation. Bindings between content representations and context ...
Zusammenfassung. Gegenstand der Studie war die Überprüfung des Einflusses der Aufgabenpriorisierung auf die Haltungskontrolle unter Doppeltätigkeitsbedingung. Hierzu wurden bei jungen und gesunden Erwachsenen (N = 60) das Gleichgewicht und die Leistung ...
Abstract. We investigated whether threat words presented in attended (foveal) and in unattended (parafoveal) locations of the visual field are attention grabbing. Neutral (nonemotional) words were presented at fixation as probes in a lexical decision ...
In this study it is argued that a perceiver's regulatory focus (promotion or prevention) influences the amount of attention allocated to processing stimuli from the environment. Results of two experiments, employing an interference task and using ...
Abstract. Exposure to a repeating set of target strings generated by an artificial grammar in a speeded matching task generates both explicit and implicit knowledge. Previous research has shown that implicit knowledge (assessed via a priming measure) is ...
Eight experiments are reported that examine the contextual factors that influence the magnitude of color-word interference in the Stroop task. In Part 1 of the paper (Experiments 1–4) we varied letter-letter grouping using Gestalt principles of proximity ...
The usual color-word Stroop task, as well as most other Stroop-like paradigms, has provided invaluable information on the automaticity of word reading. However, investigating automaticity through reading alone has inherent limitations. This study explored ...
Grégoire, Perruchet, and Poulin-Charronnat (2013) claimed that the Musical Stroop task, which reveals the automaticity of note naming in musician experts, provides a new tool for studying the development of automatisms through extensive training in ...
A recent finding suggests that people use spatial distances of responses to separate nonspatial information in a simple categorization task like the Stroop task. It was suggested that the larger the distance becomes the easier the categorization will get; ...
Abstract. We investigate the processes involved in human contingency learning using the color-word contingency learning paradigm. In this task, participants respond to the print color of neutral words. Each word is frequently presented in ...
Two experiments using a number matching task (NMT) explored whether two-digit numbers are processed holistically or in a compositional fashion. In the NMT participants are required to decide whether one of the two numbers initially provided (cues) is ...
Frequent switching between two tasks afforded by the same stimuli is associated with between-task congruency effects, that is, relatively impaired performance when a stimulus affords different responses as compared to the same responses in both tasks. ...
