To examine whether bilingual-monolingual differences in DMC depend on task demands, we administered three cognitive tasks targeting distinct executive functions: the AX-Continuous Performance Task (AX-CPT), Sternberg, and Stroop tasks. Each task included proactive and reactive control versions and used Turkish verbal stimuli.Participants were 48 Turkish-Macedonian or Turkish-Albanian bilinguals (40 women, 8 men) and 50 Turkish monolinguals (41 women, 9 men). All participants completed all three tasks. Data from each task were analyzed separately using mixed designs, with group as a between-subjects factor and control type and trial type as within-subjects factors. Linear Mixed-Effects analyses assessed reaction times and accuracy.Results indicate that any relation between bilingualism and DMC may vary across task contexts. Bilingual participants showed some evidence of reduced proactive control in tasks involving semantic processing (AX-CPT and Sternberg), whereas reactive control seemed affected in the Stroop task, which requires suppression of linguistic meaning. However, these effects were modest, suggesting limited evidence for bilingual influences on DMC.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261490486"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148930408","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}

A possible reason could be that planning becomes too difficult under such constraints. The present study therefore examined grasp selection when specific instructions were lifted. Children between 3 and 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}

In this opinion piece, our first aim is to identify barriers that limit opportunities for career development, global research output and policy innovation in this field. Our second aim is to identify African-led current solutions and priorities for the future. To enhance equitable representation, we draw on insights from a survey and knowledge-exchange workshops that included N = 60 researchers from 17 African countries who are part of the African Brain and Cognitive Development (AfriBCD) Network. Significant systemic and resource-based challenges that impact funding opportunities, career development and networking and infrastructure are identified. Current solutions to these challenges and priorities to drive further change range from investing in equitable partnerships, providing targeted early-career support, prioritising bidirectional capacity building and co-creating international funding agendas with African stakeholders. We argue for a paradigm shift that positions Africa as a global knowledge generator for child development and education, emphasising the collaborative principle of 'nothing about us without us'.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261490127"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148920749","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}

Persian-English bilingual participants (N = 36) followed sequences of five verbal instructions in first and second language. Recall was verbal or by enactment on a computer screen. Working memory capacity, phonological short-term memory (PSTM), and L2 learning and use variables were explored as covariates. The study replicated previous findings of better recall accuracy for enacted instructions compared to verbally recalled ones. Participants showed a disadvantage in remembering instructions that had been presented in L2 specifically when recall was by enactment but not when it was verbal. PSTM scores (L2 pseudoword repetition accuracy) were overall high and did not significantly predict accuracy of instruction enactment. Working memory span (operation span) was poorer in L2, and L1 and L2 span correlation was low. Only L1 span showed a non-significant trend to predict enactment memory. We conclude that L2 input can add cognitive load on the working memory system in an instruction-following task even for advanced learners. The load effect is seen especially when contextual cues and verbal instructions have to be processed together in enactment tasks.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261490089"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148920710","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}

A recent conceptual replication confirmed the moderation of attentional bias by emotional state but only when a discrimination task was used instead of the location task used in the original study. Both studies used a rather long cue-target onset asynchrony (CTOA) of 350 ms. In the present follow-up experiment, we manipulated CTOA (i.e., 100 ms vs. 350 ms) in a dot-probe task in a neutral mood context and used the same stimuli as in the recent replication. Although we were able to replicate the null effect for CTOA = 350 ms found in the control condition (no disgust) of the earlier studies, cleanliness-related stimuli elicited a significant positive attentional bias at CTOA = 100 ms. The presence of this early bias for cleanliness-related cues in the absence of a hygiene motivation, combined with the previously observed persistence of this bias under a disgust induction at the longer CTOA, suggests that motivation does not enhance initial attentional capture. Rather, it is consistent with prolonged attentional dwelling on goal-relevant stimuli. Taken together with previous findings, the present results might contribute to clarifying the mechanisms underlying motivated attentional bias and indicate that its primary effect lies in sustained attentional engagement rather than early capture.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261489170"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148901068","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}

Previous research indicates that changing the amplitude envelope of alarms from temporally invariant flat to decaying percussive improves detectability and lowers annoyance. Here we complement and extend this research by exploring masking - when simultaneous signals obscure one another. The experiment consists of a three-alternative forced choice task in which participants decide which of 3 presented white-noise 'masker' tones contain a target tone. We manipulated masker amplitude envelope and the target timing (relative to the masker) within-subjects. We determined masking thresholds (the volume at which the masker completely obscures the target through a 2-down 1-up adaptive staircase. We find percussive maskers produce substantially lower thresholds than flat maskers, regardless of target timing. These may reflect (1) the asymmetrical energy distribution of percussive sounds creating opportunities for detecting overlapping alarms, and (2) a reduction in synaptic inhibition for percussive relative to flat sounds. This offers foundational evidence in favour of percussive envelopes reducing alarm tone masking - findings with implications both for our theoretical understanding of masking, and as potential direct application in auditory alarms.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261489253"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148901013","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 investigated the effects of operator positions and perceptual supports (e.g., color, spacing) on the performance and mathematical errors of U.S. middle school students (N = 578) when solving online arithmetic problems with one higher-order operator (multiplication) and two lower-order operators (addition, subtraction). The results of mixed-effect models revealed that students' accuracy decreased as the location of the multiplication moved from left to middle or right, while their response time increased. Furthermore, the types and rates of errors students made significantly differed by perceptual cue. Students provided with color cues were less likely to make \"left-to-right operation\" errors compared to those without perceptual cues. However, students who received the color cue were more likely to make \"performing multiplication-only\" errors than those without perceptual cues. These findings suggest that although providing perceptual cues like color can reduce \"left-to-right\" errors, they may introduce new types of errors to some students. Therefore, clear instructions and examples need to accompany the use of perceptual cues in problem-solving tasks.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261488305"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148892438","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}
