This memory benefit, however, is thought to come at the cost of reduced memory for contextual details. Moreover, emotional stimuli can impair memory of adjacent neutral information, giving rise to an emotional carryover effect that typically involves both emotional anterograde and retrograde memory inhibition. Although these effects are well established, it remains unclear whether they also influence source memory and whether they persist in socially collaborative settings. To investigate these questions, we integrated an emotional timeout procedure into the collaborative memory paradigm. Participants were presented with triplets varying in emotionality, each consisting of a neutral word, a modulator word (taboo, non-taboo negative, neutral, or positive), and another neutral word. Following encoding, participants completed three recall sessions (Recalls 1, 2, and 3), each assessing both item and source memory. Recalls 1 and 3 were performed individually, whereas Recall 2 was conducted either individually or collaboratively. The findings carry several theoretical implications. (a) The EEM effect was observed across all recall conditions, but its magnitude was enhanced during and after collaboration, supporting priority-binding theory. Notably, the effect was only for taboo words, suggesting they may hinder memory of other emotional stimuli. (b) The emotional carryover effect manifested differently across item versus source memory-specifically through emotional anterograde and retrograde memory inhibition-lending support to attentive resource allocation theory, the arousal-biased competition model, and the contextual binding model. Importantly, this effect emerged independent of collaborative recall, indicating its robustness across social contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"2793-2813"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147639762","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 examined the effect of structure-related load on bilinguals' planning scope in consecutive interpreting. Thirty-nine Chinese-English interpreter trainees interpreted sentences that varied in source-target symmetry (symmetrical adjectival modifiers vs. asymmetrical prepositional phrases) and structural length (short vs. long). Planning scope was assessed through reordering rates, based on the assumption that the order of items can be reversed only when they are processed in the same unit. Results showed that both asymmetry and length increased the probability of reordering, indicating greater reliance on hierarchical incrementality. Further analyses of dependency relations and disfluencies revealed that interpreters expanded the planning scope before articulation to reduce downstream integration costs and facilitate economy-driven reformulations, whereas linear incrementality minimized initial planning effort but often at the expense of fluency. Overall, the findings support the proposal of a flexible and adaptive planning process.</p>","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"2758-2772"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147609954","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}

Although a growing consensus now suggests that early attentional capture (AC) can occur outside the effective oculomotor range-implying that attentional orienting may operate independently of the motor system-the evidence regarding IOR remains considerably more mixed. Furthermore, focusing solely on the oculomotor system appears increasingly unwarranted, as preparation of movements with other effectors is likely to be equally relevant for perceptual processing. Using the eye-abduction paradigm, we tested whether AC or IOR are constrained by the oculomotor range in a sample substantially larger than in any previous study. We also implemented a previously proposed condition involving combined eye and head rotation, designed to restrict movement toward the temporal hemifield for an additional effector. Our results clearly show that neither AC nor IOR is affected by presumed limitations in eye or head-eye motor programming.

In Experiment 1, female native Dutch speakers (<i>N</i> = 32) performed a baseline reading task, followed by a synchronous speech task where they were instructed to synchronize (temporally) to a pre-recorded model talker. The model talker's voice was pitch-shifted to have high or low F0, and half of the sample performed the task in each F0 condition. Participants' F0 values converged toward that of the model talker. In Experiment 2, we added an exposure task before synchronous speech, during which participants (<i>N</i> = 32) were familiarized with the model talker at high or low F0. At test, they heard the model talker at the familiar F0. Finally, in Experiment 3, we reversed the F0 manipulation between exposure and test. Thus, participants (<i>N</i> = 32) were familiarized with either high or low F0, but heard the opposite F0 condition during synchronous speech. The data revealed that while congruent and conflicting talker information both diminish convergence magnitude, only conflicting talker information reduces the probability of convergence.
