Recent work extended this phenomenon to visuospatial memory but found that clicking on dots impaired order reconstruction unless rehearsal was also reduced in the control condition, suggesting a trade-off between distinctiveness and rehearsal disruption. The present study asked whether more natural, body-anchored actions would shift this balance. Participants encoded sequences of eight spatial locations on a touchscreen and later reconstructed their order. In Experiment 1A, touching each dot impaired memory relative to remaining still. In Experiment 1B, however, touching the dots improved performance relative to a control condition in which participants touched irrelevant corner locations during encoding, thereby reducing rehearsal. In Experiment 2, a stronger embodied response, touching each dot and tracing the path between successive locations, again impaired memory. Thus, increasing bodily engagement did not restore the verbal production effect pattern. The findings are interpreted within the Revised Feature Model: spatial production can add distinctive features, but its benefits are outweighed when the required action disrupts serial spatial rehearsal.","PeriodicalId":12173,"journal":{"name":"Experimental psychology","volume":" ","pages":"67-79"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148701049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In three preregistered studies, we compared participants' preferences for eight different emotion regulation strategies as a function of target identity. Study 1 (N = 119) compared regulating oneself versus a friend and found that direct action, distraction, suppression, and downward comparison were all used significantly more on oneself compared to a friend, while humor, valuing, and receptive listening were all used more on a friend compared to oneself. Study 2 (N = 120) then examined the role of closeness in emotion regulation strategy choice by comparing strategy preference for regulating oneself versus a close friend versus an acquaintance. Humor, valuing, receptive listening, and direct action were used significantly more on friends compared to acquaintances, while there was no significant difference for reappraisal, downward comparison, distraction, or supression. These results suggest that people show a consistent difference in preference for emotion regulation strategies as a function of who the target of the regulation is and that extrinsic and intrinsic emotion regulation may differ markedly in the strategies people choose to use. A third preregistered study (N = 120) reframed the same comparison in terms of perceived feasibility and found that the strategies participants rated as more feasible to use on themselves, a close friend, or an acquaintance closely mirrored those they reported using, suggesting that perceived feasibility may help explain target-related differences in emotion regulation choice.","PeriodicalId":12173,"journal":{"name":"Experimental psychology","volume":" ","pages":"55-66"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148701062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior research showed reduced switch costs - i.e., smaller costs in switch than in repetition trials - for food-related tasks compared to food-unrelated tasks. This raises the question of whether such effects are driven by the affective-motivational salience of food stimuli, by their visual salience due to larger size, or by an interaction of both factors. We addressed this using a task-switching paradigm in which participants alternated between a food categorization task (sweet/savory) and a digit categorization task (odd/even). The food stimulus was superimposed on the digit stimulus, and visual size was inverted compared to earlier studies, making the digit visually salient. Despite its smaller size, the food task still yielded reduced switch costs, suggesting that this effect cannot be attributed to visual salience. However, a direct comparison with prior findings revealed that visual size modulates the magnitude of the switch-cost asymmetry. This suggests that food stimuli improve task-set reconfiguration, but that visual salience likely plays a modulatory role. These findings indicate the need to consider motivational and perceptual factors in cognitive control research.","PeriodicalId":12173,"journal":{"name":"Experimental psychology","volume":" ","pages":"8-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13416945/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148263876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often, there is no straightforward choice and this decision is particularly difficult if there are signs of variation in speed-accuracy tradeoff across conditions and/or participants. An apparently well-validated solution to this conundrum is the inverse efficiency score (IES). The general application of IES has never actually been endorsed in the cited sources and recent validation studies show that it does not serve well any of the major purposes to which it has been applied. Its popularity may even have hampered progress on the important methodological issue of how to best combine speed and accuracy measures. The present article traces the history of IES via a literature review and with the aid of contemporary witnesses. This exercise reveals a flaw in the academic culture that could be improved by increasing the value of either checking the original sources or instead being honest about the reliance on second-hand information. The story of IES also exemplifies how ignoring fundamental methodological problems makes practitioners resort to the most accessible solutions, often relying on a simplified appeal to authority and little else.","PeriodicalId":12173,"journal":{"name":"Experimental psychology","volume":"73 1","pages":"16-31"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13635728/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148455202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the trap-tube paradigm, the present study investigated the effects of correct and incorrect demonstrations and their order on causal learning in 2-4-year-olds. Experiment 1 (N = 352) showed that 2-year-olds showed no evidence of causal learning across all demonstration types, and their performance did not differ significantly between conditions. Among 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds, performance was better overall in the mixed-demonstration conditions than in the single-demonstration conditions. Within mixed demonstrations, order affected only 3-year-olds, with better performance in the correct-then-incorrect condition than in the incorrect-then-correct condition. Experiment 2 (N = 365) showed that 2-year-olds did not differ significantly across demonstration types, and their performance was largely near chance, whereas 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds performed better in the mixed-demonstration conditions than in the consistent-demonstration conditions. All children were more likely to change the side of insertion in the mixed-demonstration conditions than in the consistent-demonstration conditions. Overall, the findings suggest that mixed demonstrations support causal learning from age 3 onward, whereas evidence in 2-year-olds was weak and inconsistent.","PeriodicalId":12173,"journal":{"name":"Experimental psychology","volume":"73 1","pages":"32-45"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148455181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Few existing studies have explored the influence of violent video games on players' response inhibition to angry expressions from the perspective of virtual avatars. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of violent virtual avatar experience on players' response inhibition to angry expressions and its cognitive neural mechanisms. Eighty-four players (42 participants each with high and low violent virtual avatar experience) were selected to complete the emotional Go/No-go task, during which participants' EEG were recorded. Results indicated that facing angry expressions players with high violent virtual avatar experience showed a greater No-go P3 effect than those with low violent virtual avatar experience. These results suggest that facing angry expressions players with high violent virtual avatar experience show superiority in response inhibition, and this superiority exists in the later stage of response inhibition, which is closely related to the actual inhibition of the motor system.","PeriodicalId":12173,"journal":{"name":"Experimental psychology","volume":" ","pages":"263-273"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13334464/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147766630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, the same information can be conveyed in different manners across time and space in light of the goals of the interlocutors, potentially leading individuals to emphasize, modulate, or mask certain vocal characteristics for social advantages. However, no research has examined our perceptions of the same person speaking two closely related dialects separated by a relatively small geographic distance. The current experiment examined perceptions of the same men asked to speak Scottish Standard English (majority national dialect) versus Dundonian (minority national dialect), focusing on an array of well-studied traits in research on social perceptions. We observed robust positive effects of Scottish Standard English on perceived attractiveness and competence, with almost identical large effect sizes. By shaping perception on some of our measured trait dimensions, dialect may impact perceptions of these men as potential dating partners, allies, and/or leaders. In sum, the same man can be treated differently based on the dialect they switch to, both inadvertently and of the speaker's own volition. These findings can motivate further research into geographic differences in social perception and communication/interaction at both narrow and broad geographic bandwidths.","PeriodicalId":12173,"journal":{"name":"Experimental psychology","volume":" ","pages":"253-262"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147671641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
