Correct information provided by a partner can improve the accuracy of subsequent memories, while inaccurate partner-provided information can decrease the accuracy of such recollections. Despite this focus on how post-event information provided by one's peers can impact memory performance, the manner in which partner-provided inferential information affects memory has not been investigated. To date, the effects of inferences on subsequent memory performance have been primarily limited to examining situations where inferences were induced using narrative or pictoral stimuli. In the present study, we explored the influence of partner-provided inferential information on post-event memory accuracy. In Experiment 1, participants (n = 105) were instructed to read stories designed to induce inferences and were then randomly assigned to answer questions about the stories either alone or with a partner who exposed the participant to both accurate and inferential details about the story. Experiment 2 (n = 208) utilized a similar design but additionally manipulated the partner's self-reported confidence in their own memory. Across both experiments, participants were more likely to falsely recognize inferences when those inferences were supplied by a partner. In Experiment 2, participants working with a highly confident partner falsely recognized more inferences than those paired with a low-confidence partner or working alone. These results suggest that collaborating with a partner, especially one expressing high confidence, reduced subsequent memory accuracy, indicating that confidence may enhance the transmission and acceptance of inferential information.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"2428-2447"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147964662","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}

Conventional metaphors seem to be processed differently from novel metaphors. In this study, we first created novel spatial metaphors of time in Turkish and standardized them for aptness, conventionality, metaphoricity, ease of interpretation, imageability, and number of possible interpretations. Then, we asked participants to explain these metaphors to an experimenter and rate them on the standardized dimensions after the explanation task. We coded participants' gestures for frequency and relation to temporal concepts. The results showed that our participants rated novel metaphors higher on metaphoricity and number of possible interpretations (which signal complexity) and lower on the other meaning criteria that signal simplicity, compared to the conventional metaphors. They produced more total or temporal gestures for novel metaphors depending on the condition. These results suggest that creating novel spatial metaphors of time was possible and that they were different than conventional metaphors on various meaning dimensions. Moreover, conventionality could be a factor related to the processing demands of metaphors. These demands elicit gestures from people to process spatial metaphors of time as they use spatial information to make sense of time.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261486429"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148866763","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}

Human data consisted of word associations from the \"Small World of Words\" project and from native speakers of Singapore English. LLM data were obtained from the \"LLM World of Words\" project, where three LLMs (Haiku, Llama3, and Mistral) were probed to produce word associations to a large set of cue words. Bipartite network projections onto a subset of cue word nodes enabled a comparison of identical-sized networks that also captured higher-order associative patterns. Human and LLM networks had significantly different global network properties; specifically, human networks appeared to have more well-connected semantic organization than LLM networks, which were more sparsely connected. At the local node-level of the network, the two human networks were more similar to each other than to the LLM networks. Overall, the analyses indicate that latent semantic representations of human word associations are better integrated than those of the LLMs, illustrating how cross-comparisons with LLM-generated data can provide insights into the nature of human semantic representations.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261487165"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148866742","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 contrast, arrow stimuli yield a standard congruency effect, with faster responses under congruent than incongruent conditions. The reversed congruency effect has been attributed to social attentional mechanisms. Contrary to this view, we recently proposed an alternative nonsocial account based on response activation and inhibition. As these processes can be modulated by the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) between the pre-stimulus and the target, we conducted two preregistered experiments manipulating SOA to test this hypothesis. With a 0-ms SOA, the standard congruency effect and the reversed congruency effect were reliably observed for arrow and gaze stimuli, respectively. However, both effects diminished as the SOA increased. The reduction of the standard congruency effect may reflect weaker transient activation, whereas the reduction of the reversed congruency effect may reflect weaker inhibition. These findings support our hypothesis and highlight the role of activation and inhibition processes in the spatial interference elicited by arrow and gaze stimuli.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261485980"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148850790","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}

We review recent advances in genetics, neuroscience, cognition, and intervention research. About half of the variation in language and reading outcomes is explained by genetic differences. Yet genes and environments are intertwined - for example, children's early language exposure is partly shaped by their parents' genetically influenced traits. Neuroimaging studies show that language and reading disorders involve not only domain-specific brain regions but also subcortical systems supporting learning in general. In cognition, a move beyond identifying core deficits toward understanding how children actively learn offers new insights into diverse developmental pathways. We highlight how interventions not only draw from but also contribute to theory, by revealing the mechanisms that drive change. Throughout, we emphasise how longitudinal and intervention studies have helped us distinguish which neural and cognitive characteristics are stable traits versus those that are responsive to intervention. We advocate for developmentally sensitive, large-scale studies and open, interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers and practitioners to advance our understanding of reading and language disorders and improve children's outcomes.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261486347"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148850800","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}

Recently, the flanker lexical decision task has become a key paradigm for investigating how parafoveal letter strings affect the processing of a foveally presented target word. A key unresolved question is whether the right and left flankers exert a similar influence or whether one hemifield plays a stronger role. Previous research has yielded inconsistent results (i.e., no asymmetry in some experiments, rightward asymmetry in others, and, more recently, leftward asymmetry), with these differences potentially attributable to methodological differences. The present experiment employed a within-subjects design in which single-letter and bigram flankers were intermixed within the same trial blocks. Results showed symmetrical effects for bigram flankers, but a sizable leftward asymmetry (greater facilitation from left than from right flankers) for single-letter flankers. This dissociation suggests length-dependent differences in parafoveal orthographic processing, with the privileged status of word-initial letters becoming most visible when the relevant letter is extracted under conditions of reduced crowding. More generally, these findings indicate that flanker asymmetries are not reducible to a fixed directional bias but reflect the interaction between attentional allocation and the grain size of the orthographic information available in the parafovea.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261484832"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148809037","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}

We asked participants to choose where to stand to throw a beanbag into one of two possible hoops (Experiments 1A, 1B, 1C), and to choose where to fixate to discriminate a target that could appear in one of two possible boxes (Experiment 2). The rational choice follows a simple logic: when hoops/boxes are close together, standing/fixating near their midpoint is optimal. When hoops/boxes are far apart, standing at/fixating one hoop/box will optimise success. We attempted to nudge participants towards optimal choices by providing circumstances in which they carried out the correct solution, and then returning them to the original context to freely choose. In both experiments, participants executed optimal choices during the intervention, and then immediately returned to a sub-optimal pattern of responding when presented with the original context. Experiments 3A and 3B demonstrate that the rational decision rule can be easily applied and improves performance. We conclude that variable and idiosyncratic responses are a persistent choice strategy. Borrowing concepts from classic animal learning studies, we suggest rule-following risks missing opportunities for reinforcement learning afforded by choice variability.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261484892"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148808834","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}

Recent research has found supporting evidence that higher valence ambiguity leads to enhanced elaborative processing. However, it remains untested whether the enhanced elaborative processing is causally driven by higher variability in emotional contexts, as the emotional hypothesis assumes. To test this assumption, the current study experimentally manipulated the variability of emotional valence across encoding contexts. Specifically, participants studied real words (Experiment 1) or pseudowords (Experiment 2), each embedded in two positive contexts (positive encoding), two negative contexts (negative encoding), or one positive and one negative context (mixed encoding). Their memory was then tested with free recall (Experiment 1) or speeded recognition (Experiment 2). The results showed that the mixed encoding condition yielded better recall for real words (Experiment 1) and better discrimination for pseudowords (Experiment 2) than the negative encoding condition. Additionally, in Experiment 1, the dual-retrieval model of recall revealed that the reconstruction parameter, which is sensitive to elaborative processing of semantic content, was significantly higher in the mixed encoding condition than both the positive and negative encoding conditions. These findings provide evidence that emotional context variability enhances elaborative reconstructive retrieval, aligning with the assumption of the emotional ambiguity hypothesis. More broadly, these findings offer new insights into how context shapes word retrieval: Lexical representations reflect not only distributional properties but also variability in the emotional experiences associated with words.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218261484462"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148809042","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}

We compared shorter and taller groups of competitive players, and we varied the height of incoming serves. In two experiments, we found that, with very rare exceptions, participants used either an overhead or underhand technique to receive serves. Technique selection was reliably related to serve height, such that the overhead technique was used for higher serves and the underhand technique for lower serves. In Experiment 1, participants were free to move in any way they wished in receiving serves. We found that participants tended to step backward prior to receiving higher serves, such that there was a statistically significant relation between the serve height, the magnitude of backward stepping, and the likelihood of the overhead technique. In Experiment 2, participants were not permitted to step in any direction. Here, we found that participants tended to jump prior to receiving higher serves, such that there was a statistically significant relation between serve height, jump height, and the likelihood of the overhead technique.
