In this study, we asked how language experience, as measured by print exposure, affects acceptability judgments and reaction times for surface versus inverse interpretations of sentences with quantifier scope ambiguity. We found that print exposure predicts both of these measures: participants with higher scores on measures of print exposure gave ambiguous sentences lower ratings than participants with lower levels of print exposure and had significantly longer reaction times for inverse scope items in particular than participants with lower levels of print exposure.

An open question is whether metacognitive capacity is domain-general, akin to a conductor overseeing various sections of an orchestra, or whether it is inherently coupled with each domain, resembling a collection of specialized musical directors for each instrument group. Previous studies attempting to address this question have suffered from methodological drawbacks, such as a lack of control over cognitive performance and low statistical power. In this confirmatory, preregistered study, we addressed this gap by testing metacognitive ability in visual perceptual, episodic memory, and semantic memory domains using a newly developed adaptive \"trivia\" task spanning judgments about nutrition and global economics. We found substantive correlations in metacognitive bias and efficiency across domains, even when controlling for cognitive ability, suggesting up to 15%-20% shared variance in metacognition across different modalities. Surprisingly, however, we found the lowest correlation in metacognition between the two semantic memory domains, despite these tasks being matched on performance and surface-level features. Our results broadly support the existence of a metacognitive \"g-factor,\" excluding several important methodological confounds, while also highlighting the importance of further research into interindividual differences in metacognitive priors which may explain the lower correlations between the different semantic memory domains.

Within visual working memory (VWM), memorable stimuli enjoy a dual benefit: they are stored more efficiently (observers can store more memorable than forgettable stimuli) and are more competitive (when memorable and forgettable stimuli need to \"compete\" for limited VWM resources, the memorable stimuli are more likely to \"win\" access to those resources). Given the link between attention and VWM, we examined attention as a candidate for the source of the competitive benefit. In experiment 1, we investigated if observers selectively attend to memorable stimuli when encoded along with forgettable during a VWM task. Using a letter report probe task that enabled us to index where attention was allocated during encoding, we found that attention was drawn to memorable faces, but not via automatic attentional capture. In experiment 2, we determined the time course of attention allocation in relation to the emergence of the competitive benefit by manipulating the encoding duration of memorable and forgettable stimuli. The competitive benefit did not emerge until after there were differences in attention allocation, ruling out the possibility that the difference in attention allocation was caused by the competitive benefit within VWM. We speculate that the competitive benefit is a result of attentional differences between memorable and forgettable stimuli. Importantly, we find that attention can interact with stimulus memorability.

A theoretical consequence of these phenomena is that emotional arousal is not a necessary condition for framing effects because, unlike the classic framing effects of social psychology and behavioral economics, different memory frames are not designed to stimulate different emotional reactions. However, a review of available evidence on framing effects in item recognition revealed that the data were inconsistent for old items and nonexistent for similar distractors. We attempted to secure definitive evidence of whether these types of items display framing effects by analyzing a corpus of 478 sets of data, in which old items and similar distractors are factorially crossed with old? and similar? recognition frames. Both types of items exhibited large framing effects: Recognition was far more accurate for similar items than for old items when probes asked if test items were old, whereas recognition was more accurate for old items than for similar items when probes asked if test items were similar. There was a frame-independence effect, too, such that accuracy in one memory frame was dissociated from accuracy in the other frame. The conjoint-recognition model predicted both the core memory framing effect and its direction (superior recognition of similar distractors in the old? frame but superior recognition of old items in the similar? frame). The model also explained frame independence as a by-product of between-frame differences in how three retrieval processes (true recollection, false recollection, and semantic familiarity) affect accuracy in the different frames.

In studies assessing strategy self-reports, some strategies were indeed associated with better recall. Nevertheless, experimental studies assessing the effect of instructing maintenance strategies compared to a no-instruction baseline lend no evidence for the effectiveness of these strategies for working memory. Explanations for this contradiction could be that instruction implementation engenders dual-task costs or that strategy instructions reduce adaptive strategy switching. Across two experiments, we investigated the frequency and variability of strategy use with trial-wise self-reports in serial recall of word lists. Furthermore, we examined potential instruction costs by comparing performance in trials with self-reported versus instructed use of the same strategies. Self-reported strategy use varied from trial to trial, with elaboration and rehearsal being the most frequent. Self-reported elaboration was correlated with better performance than reading and rehearsal. For the most prevalent strategies-elaboration and rehearsal-there were no costs of instructed strategy implementation. Our results speak against dual-task costs and for the advantage of adaptively choosing one's own strategy from trial to trial.

In separate sessions, they then completed cued-recall and fluid intelligence (gF) tests. Three main objectives were addressed. First, we sought to generalize two findings reported by M. Minear et al. (2018): During the final-test phase, the high gF group exhibited a greater retrieval practice effect for difficult items compared to easy items, while the opposite pattern was observed for the low gF group; and, during the practice phase, the advantage of the high gF group over the low gF group increased across cycles for difficult items but not for easy items. Overall, we successfully extended their results. Second, we investigated whether gF is related to the amount of new items recalled during the practice phase. Consistent positive relationships were found in Cycles 1-3 (rs between .30 and .43). Third, we tested and found an indirect effect of gF on the retrieval practice effect mediated by performance during the practice phase. One possibility is that learners with higher gF may be particularly skilled at generating effective mediators and at monitoring and replacing less effective ones after retrieval failures. We recommend the following research agenda: measure the production, shift, and retrieval of mediators; manipulate the number of retrieval practice opportunities; probe the retrieval practice effect with free-recall tests; and adopt procedures based on learning to a criterion.

When performing dual tasks, mental representations of dual-task-specific control requirements and the task-pair set are established that help to manage dual-task processing (Hirsch et al., 2017, 2018; Hommel, 2004, 2020). In the present study, we investigated to which extent such higher order representations of dual-task processing persist even if major characteristics of the task context change, for example, if one of the tasks of a dual task becomes irrelevant. For this, we adapted the fade-out paradigm (Mayr & Liebscher, 2001) to a dual-task setting and tested whether fade-out costs appear. Performance of pure Task 1 single tasking was compared to the performance of Task 1 processing right after dual-task trials (fade-out phase). Results showed that performance in this fade-out block did not immediately drop to single-task performance (fade-out costs), indicating the persistence of task-pair set representations (Experiments 1 and 3, N = 40 each). In addition, automatic stimulus-response translation processes continued within the fade-out phase, resulting in ongoing between-task interference. Furthermore, the frequency of between-task interference in dual-task blocks was manipulated (75% vs. 25% incongruence) between participants to establish conflict-biased control states of increased versus relaxed task shielding. These different control states, however, did not modulate fade-out costs (Experiment 2, N = 80). Nevertheless, the persistence of these control adaptations was reflected in manipulation-dependent between-task interference during fade-out trials. Implications of this new evidence are discussed.

The discount rate can be reduced by experimentally manipulating time framing, an example being the date/delay effect: Specifically, if time until receipt of the reward is presented as a date (e.g., August 21, 2022) rather than as a delay (e.g., 136 days), temporal discounting is reduced. While this effect has been replicated several times, its underlying cognitive mechanisms are not well understood. Therefore, we used eye tracking to examine the role of attention in the date/delay effect. Participants completed both a delay and date condition of the Monetary Choice Questionnaire, while eye movements were recorded (N = 54). Results revealed a successful replication of the date/delay effect (p < .001, gav = 0.48). Eye tracking showed that participants compared time attributes (relative to reward attributes) more and fixated them longer in the date compared to the delay condition. Moreover, the absolute difference in reward values of choice options was more predictive of choosing the delayed reward in the date compared to the delay condition. Finally, explorative correlations revealed a stronger date/delay effect in participants who paid more attention to time than reward attributes in the delay condition and who used a more integrative search strategy. Our findings suggest that the date manipulation causes participants to weight rewards more strongly in their decision process than in the delay condition, ultimately reducing temporal discounting. Computation of time intervals in the date condition could possibly reflect an adaptation lowering the date/delay effect.

Here, we asked whether the presence of gestures and mouth movements benefits discourse comprehension under clear and challenging listening conditions and, if so, whether this multimodal benefit depends on the communicative environment in which interlocutors are situated. In two online experiments, participants watched videoclips of a speaker telling stories, and they answered yes-no questions about the content of each story. The speaker in the videos was spontaneously gesturing (or kept her hands still) and was wearing a surgical mask (or had her lips visible). The experiments differed in the communicative environment. In Experiment 1, the speaker narrated stories in silence, whereas the listener (participants) heard them in clear or degraded speech conditions (analogous to watching the news on TV in a quiet or noisy café). In Experiment 2, the speaker narrated the stories once in silence and once while listening to background noise, and the listener heard them in clear or degraded speech condition, respectively (analogous to listening to a friend in a quiet or noisy café). Across the experiments, we found that cospeech gestures facilitated discourse comprehension regardless of the listening conditions or the presence of a mask. In contrast, mouth movements were primarily helpful in challenging listening conditions. These findings indicate that both cues matter to listeners but to a different extent. Moreover, we found that the multimodal benefit to comprehension was similar regardless of the communicative environment. Thus, this study demonstrates the importance of both cospeech gestures and mouth movements to discourse comprehension, offering insights into the dynamic interplay between these cues under different communicative environments.

In incongruent trials, in which relevant and irrelevant stimulus features require different responses, reaction time is longer and errors are more frequent. This congruency effect is reduced after incongruent trials, dubbed congruency sequence effect (CSE). Here, we show that with temporally separated presentations of relevant and irrelevant stimulus features in the Simon task the CSE is strong with leading irrelevant feature, but declines with leading relevant feature. For the flanker task, this modulation of the CSE was unreliable. By means of an extended leaky, competing accumulator model, we contrasted two mechanisms of the CSE for the Simon task: gating of the irrelevant stimulus information and re-mapping of the stimulus positions to response positions after incongruent trials. The gating model failed to account for some aspects of the observed data which could be simulated by the re-mapping model. For the flanker task, there was not only a CSE, but also overall longer reaction times after incongruent trials. This required an extension of the re-mapping model in terms of higher response thresholds after incongruent than after congruent trials.
