Currently, saccade selection is thought to be predominantly driven by the observer's goals, selection history, and by the physical salience of stimuli. Recent work demonstrates that the inherent effort associated with planning and executing saccades ('saccade costs') also drives saccade selection: participants prefer making affordable over costly saccades. Do saccade costs still affect saccade selection when other factors such as salience attract gaze? Here, we addressed if, and how, saccade costs and salience together drive saccade selection by having participants freely choose between two potential saccade targets in different directions. Saccade targets either differed in salience or not, allowing us to disentangle the effects of saccade costs and salience. We observed that salience predicted saccade selection: participants chose salient over non-salient targets. Furthermore, saccade costs predicted saccade selection when equally salient targets were presented. When the possible targets differed in salience, the effect of saccade costs on saccade selection was reduced but not eliminated. Further analyses demonstrate that saccade costs and salience jointly drive saccade selection. Together, our results are in line with an accumulating body of work, and show that the role of effort in saccade selection is robust to salience. We conclude that effort must be considered a fundamental factor that drives where the eyes are moved.","PeriodicalId":20763,"journal":{"name":"Psychonomic Bulletin & Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144079642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the evolutionary and functional role of subcortical pathways in empathic processing through a novel dichoptic presentation paradigm that leverages the unique properties of monocular visual processing. We hypothesized that subcortical visual pathways might play a crucial role in rapid emotional processing and subsequent empathic responses. Using a target discrimination task, we compared reaction times following empathy-eliciting versus neutral images under two conditions: same-eye presentation (where both stimulus and target were shown to one eye) and different-eye presentation (where stimulus and target were shown to separate eyes). Our findings revealed significant response delays following empathy-eliciting images only in the same-eye condition, suggesting that monocular, predominantly subcortical, pathways are integral to initial empathic reactions. These results challenge the traditional corticocentric view of empathy and social cognition, indicating instead that empathic processing emerges from the intricate interplay between subcortical and cortical networks. This research provides compelling evidence for the evolutionary foundations of empathy and suggests a fundamental reassessment of how we conceptualize the neural architecture underlying social cognitive processes.","PeriodicalId":20763,"journal":{"name":"Psychonomic Bulletin & Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143996212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the following experiment, we investigated whether source memory for veracity and importance dimensions is stochastically dependent. Students (N = 82) memorized trivia statements along with their veracity and importance status, which resulted in four different combinations of sources (\"true and important\", \"true and unimportant\", \"false and important\", \"false and unimportant\"). The analysis with a multidimensional source memory multinomial model revealed that the joint retrieval of \"true\" and \"important\" feedback as compound information is better than for all other combinations.

In two studies, we investigated whether adults interpret iconicity in speech and gesture via a modality-independent mechanism (Study 1, N = 40; Study 2, N = 348). Participants in both studies completed two verb-action matching tasks. In these tasks, either spoken verbs or co-speech gestures were manipulated at different rates to iconically represent actions (i.e., manners of locomotion) performed at corresponding rates. We hypothesized that adult participants would map verbs spoken at a fast rate to fast actions and verbs spoken at a slow rate to slow actions. Similarly, we hypothesized that adult participants would map gestures produced with faster hand movements to fast actions and gestures produced with slower hand movements to slow actions. Moreover, we predicted a positive correlation between the two task performances. In both a pilot study (Study 1) and a preregistered replication (Study 2), participants successfully used iconic cues to match verbs to actions in both verb-action matching tasks. Crucially, adult participants who performed well in the verb-action matching task with iconic speech cues also performed well in the verb-action matching task with iconic gesture cues. This weak positive correlation remained significant even after controlling verbal working memory performance. These findings suggest that adults may rely on a modality-independent cognitive mechanism for interpreting iconicity both within and across different sensory modalities, using both visual information from gestures and auditory information from speech to identify referent actions.","PeriodicalId":20763,"journal":{"name":"Psychonomic Bulletin & Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144034157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their popularity, it is still unknown whether they can enhance the long-term retention of their content. We conducted a delayed-recall task with psychology undergraduates (N = 92), in which participants read about the evolution of a socio-economic phenomenon, with five to six datapoints presented as graphics, text, or table; recall was operationalized as correct reporting of the trend in the data, 2 h after the information was presented. We found that graphics facilitated the delayed recall of such trends. No advantage was found on immediate recall of trends or specific datapoints in another sample of participants (N = 80). Thus, even for equal initial encoding of data, and even for very concise materials, graphics facilitate long-term retention. Overall, the study reveals the potential of graphics as effective tools for enhancing memory retention and therefore highlights their valuable role in educational settings.","PeriodicalId":20763,"journal":{"name":"Psychonomic Bulletin & Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144042830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, previous explanation for the inhibitory influence on the automatic link was based solely on demonstrating that the control mechanisms are specific to the task-irrelevant stimulus and response dimensions, rather than the automatic link itself. The present study investigated whether the occurrence of the cross-task CSE depends on the sharing of an automatic link between two tasks, when the two tasks share an irrelevant stimulus dimension and response mode. In the experiment, participants performed alternating trials of a horizontal Simon task and a vertical spatial Stroop task. The cross-task CSE was significant only when response keys for each task were spatially configured to correspond to the axes of possible target stimulus locations (H-V configuration of response sets), making the two tasks share an automatic link. However, no cross-task CSE was obtained when all response keys were aligned horizontally (H-H configuration of response sets). With the H-H configuration, there was no spatial correspondence between the stimulus and response locations in the vertical spatial Stroop task, whereas the horizontal task involved such a correspondence, preventing the two tasks from sharing an automatic link. These results indicate that sharing of an automatic link between spatial conflict tasks is crucial for the occurrence of the cross-task CSE.","PeriodicalId":20763,"journal":{"name":"Psychonomic Bulletin & Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144014371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Native and non-native speakers (high and low proficiency, determined based on subjective and objective measures) studied phonological, semantic, and hybrid (half semantic, half phonological) lists to determine whether language proficiency affects errors across different types of associates. False recall was observed in all three proficiency groups; however, the patterns of errors differed. High proficiency and native speakers did not differ from one another: Both groups made the most errors with hybrid lists and similar error rates with semantic and phonological lists. In contrast, low proficiency speakers made significantly fewer semantic than hybrid and phonological errors. All groups showed a strong hyper-additive effect for Hybrid lists. Less proficient speakers might rely less on semantic than phonological information compared to more proficient speakers.

While numerous studies have focused on the brain mechanisms underlying BM processing, the contribution of sensorimotor simulation at peripheral effectors remains unclear. In this study, we examined healthy adults and paraplegic spinal cord injury participants to investigate this issue. For healthy adults, both intact BM stimuli and local BM cues without global configuration induced a temporal dilation effect when sitting (sensorimotor simulation accessible), but not when standing (sensorimotor simulation temporarily hindered). In contrast, for participants with permanently hindered sensorimotor simulation, the temporal dilation effect was observed only with intact BM stimuli but not with local BM cues, indicating a robust reliance on sensorimotor simulation during the processing of local BM cues and a selective compensation based on global configuration cues for the permanent loss of sensorimotor simulation. These findings highlight the role of embodied cognition in the distributed processing of biological motion and suggest the importance of selective compensation under damaged sensorimotor circuits.","PeriodicalId":20763,"journal":{"name":"Psychonomic Bulletin & Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144021382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, English words with multiple affixes (e.g., unresolved, mindfulness) suggest there must be further nuance to the positional constraints imposed on affixes in the reading system to facilitate cases where affixes occur in atypical locations but still convey meaning. We used two lexical decision experiments (N = 90 native English-speaking participants each) to investigate the positional encoding of mid-embedded suffixes. In Experiment 1, transposed tri-morphemic nonwords ending in a chain of two suffixes (e.g., spitenessful [derived from spitefulness]), and transposed nonwords with string-initial suffixes (e.g., fulyouthness [derived from youthfulness]) were compared against orthographic controls (e.g., spitementdom/domyouthment). In Experiment 2, transposed tri-morphemic nonwords ending in a stem (e.g., bestersell [derived from bestseller]) and transposed nonwords with string-initial suffixes (e.g., erwalksleep [derived from sleepwalker]) were compared against orthographic controls (e.g., bestalsell/enwalksleep). Across both experiments, the results revealed a significantly larger morpheme transposition effect relative to controls for the mid-embedded compared with the string-initial suffix conditions. Items like bestersell activated the corresponding lexical representation of \"bestseller\" and made it more difficult to reject the target nonword, revealing that suffixes are not as strictly positionally encoded as previously assumed. These findings challenge existing predictions of positional requirements for affixes and provide evidence calling for more nuanced theoretical models of morphological processing.","PeriodicalId":20763,"journal":{"name":"Psychonomic Bulletin & Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143980872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
