The present study examined whether concurrently increasing working-memory maintenance and conflict-resolution demands produced additive performance costs or an over-additive interaction in task-performance data. A classic digit preload manipulation of working-memory maintenance (ascending = low load; random = high load) was combined with two inhibitory paradigms that were modified to minimise their own intrinsic memory demands: a flanker task targeting interference control and a spatial conflict task targeting response inhibition. Digit sequences were recalled after each block to ensure sustained working-memory engagement. Ninety-eight participants completed the spatial conflict task and ninety-seven completed the flanker task. Bayesian repeated-measures ANOVAs revealed robust main effects of working-memory load and congruency on inhibitory-trial reaction times in both tasks, but provided evidence against an over-additive interaction of these factors on performance on either task. These findings are consistent with the view that working-memory maintenance and conflict resolution do not compete for shared executive resources.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261494820"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149031276","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}

Here, we tested whether horizontal spatial-numerical mapping instead depends on whether the task environment provides usable horizontal structure. Participants performed a go/no-go magnitude classification task in which stimulus location and response execution were held constant while the availability of horizontal spatial structure was manipulated. In Experiment 1, both digit presentation and response execution were central, with participants using a single hand in each block. This created a spatially neutral task context in which no magnitude-response hand compatibility effect emerged. In Experiment 2, the task was identical except for the addition of two noninformative lateral placeholders, which introduced a minimal left-right spatial frame. Under these conditions, the data indicated a modest magnitude-response hand compatibility pattern, although the evidence was not fully conclusive. These findings are consistent with task-dependent and joint-use accounts of SNAs, suggesting that horizontal spatial-numerical mappings depend on the joint availability of magnitude and spatial codes rather than arising obligatorily from numerical magnitude alone. More broadly, the findings suggest that even minimal, task-irrelevant perceptual structure can contribute to the spatial scaffolding needed for horizontal SNAs to emerge.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261493443"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149012919","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}

From a connectionist perspective, the present study used corpus-based measures to quantify the mappings between orthography, phonology, and semantics in Chinese and tested how these mappings predicted performance in a large-scale lexical decision task. The results showed that the contribution of phonology to meaning-related processing in Chinese character recognition is conditional on the reliability of orthography-to semantics mappings: when these mappings were relatively weak, phonology predicted reaction times more strongly. Further comparison among candidate mappings indicated that neither the phonology-to-semantics mapping nor sublexical phonology-to-orthography feedback interacted with orthography-to-semantics consistency, whereas whole character phonology-to-orthography feedback did. This effect emerged when orthography-to-semantics consistency was low.These findings provide new evidence for a connectionist account of meaning-related processing in Chinese.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261492872"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149012884","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, little is known about individual differences in reliance on good-enough processing versus precise algorithmic analysis of the sentence structure. In a psycholinguistic study with 73 young Russian-speaking adults, we investigated whether reliance on semantic heuristics, as measured by the effect of sentence plausibility, was affected by four individual cognitive and psycholinguistic characteristics: phonological working memory span, inhibitory control, reading experience and vocabulary size. We found that reliance on semantic heuristics was characteristic of individuals with a greater reading experience, likely due to stronger semantic expectations from the sentence content. This points to adaptation, or the cognitive system striving for an optimal balance between processing cost and comprehension accuracy, as a possible driver of heuristic-based representations. Inhibitory control and vocabulary size did not significantly modulate the reliance on semantic heuristics. A higher phonological working memory span improved the comprehension of semantically plausible sentences and, in an exploratory analysis of response times, was associated with greater accuracy in slower responses following implausible sentences. This likely indicates post-processing edits of the sentence representation and calls for further research disentangling online versus post-interpretative reliance on semantic heuristics.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261493025"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149008853","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}

Experiment 2a used the open association method to enhance the realism of imagined future events, which evoked stronger emotions and had a larger perceived impact on participants, with a greater probability of occurrence.

We conducted an eye-tracking experiment examining how positive versus neutral face emojis embedded mid-sentence affect the processing of preceding and following words. Positive rather than neutral emojis yielded parafoveal-on-foveal effects on the n-1 word, evidenced by longer first-fixation, gaze duration, and single-fixation measures. This valence effect persisted after accounting for mislocated fixations, indicating that parafoveal emotional processing modulated foveal reading. However, the n+1 word showed no valence-based differences, suggesting limited priming effects in continuous reading, potentially due to \"wrap-up\" processes at the emoji. At the sentence level, positive emojis led to faster overall reading times and higher valence ratings, although in a pre-test non-emojified sentences were rated more positively than emojified versions. These findings reinforce parallel eye-movement control models, highlighting how emoji sentiment can shape real-time reading.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261490699"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148956394","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}

Additionally, we assessed arithmetic fluency using a speeded test. A total of 201 adults solved 200 mixed addition-multiplication expressions in which spacing either aligned or conflicted with order-of-operations rules. Operation order was also manipulated. Participants were faster and more accurate in congruent spacing conditions, whereas incongruent spacing increased operation-order errors, especially when problems began with addition. A subgroup of participants showed disproportionately poor performance under incongruent spacing, suggesting a prepotent susceptibility to misleading grouping cues. The spacing effect persisted despite differences in task format and response procedure compared to the original study, supporting its robustness. Higher arithmetic fluency was associated with higher accuracy and shorter reaction times in the Precedence and Proximity Task.

A possible reason could that planning becomes too difficult under such constraints. The present study therefore examined grasp selection when specific instructions were lifted. Children between 3 to 10 years of age were asked to move a plunger between shelves of a bookcase, and were free to use either hand, swap hands during transport and adopt any body posture. Younger children (3-6 years) more often used this extra flexibility by swapping hands and changing hand position. Children across all ages adjusted their initial grasp to the target shelf height, suggestive of anticipatory grasp selection. The effect of the target shelf on the initial grasp was smaller than in previous studies, possibly because children used the opportunity to adjust their grip during transport. The findings suggest that task constraints may have been a factor in why young children did not engage in anticipatory grasp planning in previous settings. Younger children may be able to plan ahead if the task does not get too complicated.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261489987"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148930315","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}
