This finding has been highly influential for theories of short-term memory and auditory distraction. However, evidence vis-à-vis the robustness of this result is sorely lacking. Here, two high-powered replications of Jones et al.'s (1995) crucial Experiment 4 were undertaken. In the first partial replication (n = 64), a fully within-participants design was adopted, wherein participants undertook both the visual-verbal and visual-spatial serial recall tasks under different irrelevant sound conditions, without a retention period. The second near-identical replication (n = 128), incorporated a retention period and implemented the task-modality manipulation as a between-participants factor, as per the original Jones et al. (1995; Experiment 4) study. In both experiments, the changing-state effect was observed for visual-verbal serial recall but not for visual-spatial serial recall. The results are consistent with modular and interference-based accounts of distraction and challenge some aspects of functional equivalence accounts.

In six experiments (total N = 638), we investigated the influence of beginning and ending letters (vowels vs. consonants) of pseudowords on preferences. Pseudowords that begin with consonants (vs. vowels) were preferred; independently, pseudowords that end with vowels (vs. consonants) were also preferred. Both of these consonant-vowel-preference effects generalized across stimulus sets and across speakers of German and English (Experiments 1a-1c). Additionally, consistent with familiarity as the underlying mechanism, pseudowords with consonant (vs. vowel) beginnings and vowel (vs. consonant) endings were more frequently judged to be real words (Experiment 2). The word-ending effect-but surprisingly, not the word-beginning effect-generalized to auditory stimulus presentation (Experiments 3a-3b). Thus, we find that preferences for vowel (vs. consonant) at word endings are more robust than preferences for consonant (vs. vowel) at word beginnings. By showing that consonant-vowel structure systematically influences preferences, we demonstrate two new associations between word form and affective meaning.

The results of this experiment indicate that, although the peaks of the single- and first-of-multiple-fixation landing-site distributions were respectively located near the centers and beginnings of the clusters, thereby replicating previous patterns that have been interpreted as evidence for the default saccadic-targeting hypothesis, the same dissociation was evident on nonclusters (i.e., arbitrarily defined regions of analysis). Furthermore, properties of the clusters (e.g., character number and gap size) influenced fixation durations and forward saccade length, suggesting that ongoing stimulus processing affects decisions about when and where (i.e., how far) to move the eyes. Finally, results of simulations using simple oculomotor-based, default-targeting, and dynamic-adjustment models indicated that the latter performed better than the other two, suggesting that the dynamic-adjustment strategy likely reflects the basic perceptual and motor constraints shared by a variety of visual tasks, rather than being specific to Chinese reading.

In two experiments, 120 English-dominant Spanish-English bilinguals read aloud 18 paragraphs with language switches. In Experiment 1a, each paragraph included eight switch words on function targets (four that repeated in every paragraph), and Experiment 1b was a replication with eight additional switches on content words in each paragraph. Both experiments had three conditions: (a) normal, (b) noun-swapped (in which nouns within consecutive sentences were swapped), and (c) random (in which words in each sentence were reordered randomly). In both experiments bilinguals produced intrusion errors, automatically translating language switch words by mistake, especially on function words (e.g., saying the day and stay awake instead of the day y stay awake). Intrusion rates did not vary across experiments even though switch rate was doubled in Experiment 1b relative to Experiment 1a. Bilinguals produced the most intrusions in normal paragraphs, slightly but significantly fewer intrusions in noun-swapped paragraphs, and a dramatic drop in intrusion rates in the random condition, even though the random condition elicited the most within-language errors. Bilinguals also demonstrated a common signature of inhibitory control in the form of reversed language dominance effects, which did not vary significantly across paragraph types. Finally, intrusions increased with switch word predictability (surprisal), but significant differences between conditions remained when controlling for predictability. These results demonstrate that bilingual language selection is driven by syntactic processing, which operates independently from other language control mechanisms, such as inhibition.

In addition to the Forget and Remember cues, we also included Thought Substitution (TS) cues in the same design instructing participants to mentally shift to a different context on some study trials. TS cues have been shown to impair memory compared with Remember cues, but not as effectively as cues to Forget in item-method studies (Hubbard & Sahakyan, 2021). The results demonstrated that Forget cues produce accelerated rates of forgetting compared with Remember cues and showed that these differences are independent of initial learning rates, which were deliberately equated in Experiment 2. TS cued items showed faster forgetting than Remember cued items but were less effective than Forget cues and exhibited a more complex pattern likely reflecting individual differences. Thus, delayed testing demonstrated that active forgetting can have long-lasting effects on memory traces beyond initial suppression, in line with cognitive neuroscientific theory suggesting inhibition can produce lasting changes to memory traces.

It remains unclear, though, how control processes produce this proportion congruency effect (PCE). The attentional shift account posits that experiencing conflict more frequently in mostly incongruent (vs. mostly congruent) blocks biases control processes to shift attention away from the distractor. The response modulation account posits that, if participants identify the distractor before the target, control processes use the distractor's identity to prepare a congruent response in mostly congruent blocks and/or an incongruent response in mostly incongruent blocks. We conducted four experiments (N = 192) to investigate whether a modulation of response activation contributes to the PCE in the prime-probe task. We observed a larger PCE when the prime/distractor appeared 166 ms before (vs. simultaneously with) the probe/target (Experiment 1) and a PCE without an overall congruency effect at a longer, 933-ms stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA; Experiment 2). Critically, the latter PCE was associated with a negative congruency effect in mostly incongruent blocks, consistent with a modulation of response activation but not a shift of attention. Finally, in a modified prime-probe task, wherein participants respond to each stimulus before the next one appears (1,133 ms SOA), we observed analogous PCEs and negative congruency effects (Experiment 3) and a PCE-like effect in response force just before the probe appeared (Experiment 4). These findings indicate an independent contribution of control processes that modulate response activation to the PCE at long prime-probe SOAs, which extends beyond minimizing distraction from irrelevant stimuli.

The present article considers the lack of attention devoted to the reliability of measures extracted in a popular visual search task for studying putatively unconscious mental processes, contextual cuing, and the inferential fallacies that this neglect can cause. Two experiments (total N = 200) demonstrated that the reliability of contextual cuing and awareness measures can be increased by three manipulations designed to increase between-participant variability in search performance. At the same time, the data were subjected to a multiverse analysis, which found that specific data preprocessing pipelines result in more reliable estimates. Nevertheless, the reliability estimates remained too low for drawing firm conclusions from standard statistical techniques. Interpreting results from analyses based on individual differences, such as the typical low correlations between implicit and explicit measures, will be challenging so long as the underlying measures have poor reliability.

Importantly, JOLs sometimes change memory for the judged material, leading to JOL reactivity. The cue-strengthening account (Soderstrom et al., 2015) and changed-goal account (Mitchum et al., 2016) propose different mechanisms that lead to JOL reactivity. In the present study, we collected measures that can provide further insight into these mechanisms. Specifically, participants studied related and unrelated word pairs in different colored fonts for a source recognition test. Across three experiments, data were analyzed using a hierarchical Bayesian model of multidimensional source memory to determine how JOLs impact item memory as well as relatedness and color source memory. In Experiment 2, we also compared the effects of making JOLs to making judgments of relatedness (JORs), and Experiment 3 examined how JOLs impact study time allocation. The results of our experiments failed to fully follow predictions of either account. Making JOLs (Experiments 1-3) and JORs (Experiment 2) strengthened item memory for related as well as unrelated pairs, the latter finding not predicted by either account. In addition, JOLs and JORs did not specifically strengthen source memory for relatedness, as the cue-strengthening account predicts, nor did JOLs change study time (Experiment 3), as suggested by the changed-goal account. In all, our results provide novel insight that enhanced item memory may be largely responsible for JOL reactivity, thus adjudicating between candidate explanations.

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.

If suppressing those meanings fails, they subliminally bias preferences. Yet, it is unclear if prior findings generalize beyond individual words and to bilingual contexts. This has implications for consumer behavior and the debate on differences between first (L1) and second language (L2) lexical processing. We present four multi-item experiments with German-English bilinguals. An initial eye-tracked primed choice task established that homophones affect decision making. Three visual preference experiments with written and/or auditory primes and high- or low-proficiency L2 users found that homophones bias preferences more in L1 than L2. The L1-L2 gap widened if listening or low proficiency made suppression more difficult. We argue that the interplay between reduced suppression in L2 as predicted by activation-suppression models and lower subjective frequency of L2 homophones assumed by the frequency lag hypothesis explain the size of the L1-L2 priming gap.
