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.

Most studies focused on how this facilitates meaning inference when interspeaker variation differentiates between two or more alternatives, or how it allows for successful lexical alignment. However, it has been unclear whether mapping interspeaker variation is stored actively, and if so, what purposes this storage serves. In a pseudointeractive experiment, we created interspeaker variation in naming preferences, such that one speaker (the common speaker) consistently produced favored words, and the other speaker consistently produced less-favored/disfavored words (the uncommon speaker), across two conditions-one where both speakers were relatively common, and one where one of the speakers was highly uncommon. Participants engaged in a picture selection task, at first as matchers (where they were instructed by one of the speakers-each in his/her turn-which image to choose), and then as directors (where they were the instructors). They were then tested on how well they mapped interspeaker variation and how they generalized it linguistically and socially. Participants were successful at directly mapping interspeaker variation in naming preferences. Furthermore, they used this information in (a) lexically aligning with their interlocutors, (b) hypothesizing about unexposed word choices by these speakers, and (c) creating social representations of the speakers as individuals. In line with surprisal-driven learning accounts, these effects were larger for a speaker that used highly uncommon words. Our results suggest that individuals store interspeaker variation explicitly, which in turn helps them to predict their interlocutors' future linguistic and social behavior.

Participants rarely repeat items they have already recalled, avoiding repetition errors. To prevent these errors, WM models incorporate a response suppression mechanism that removes recalled items from the set of response options. Despite its importance for our understanding of WM, response suppression has received limited direct testing. To address this gap, we used computational models implementing two hypothetical mechanisms of response suppression to derive predictions and tested these predictions experimentally. Participants were asked to recall the same items multiple times during a single trial. If already recalled items are removed from the response set to prevent repetition errors, memory performance should be impaired when the same item is tested again. Contrary to this, we found that memory performance was unimpaired when the same item was tested a second time, and even displayed a recall advantage. Therefore, this study demonstrates the implausibility of response suppression to account for how people avoid repetition errors. We discuss alternative explanations.

The current study examines whether the number of different digits in a problem accounts for this variance. In Experiment 1, 41 participants solved all 2-9 multiplication problems. In Experiment 2, 43 participants verified these problems. In Experiment 3, 26 participants solved 10 problems that differed in shared-digit network (SDN) size and matched in problem size. In Experiment 4, 24 participants verified these matched sets. Results show faster and more accurate responses to problems that include fewer different digits relative to problems with more different digits, and faster and more accurate responses to problems whose SDN is small relative to problems whose SDN is large. We thus show that the number of different digits in a problem, including the operands and the solution, determines the speed and accuracy of its solution and verification. This parsimonious account also explains why responses to five and tie problems, which include fewer different digits relative to nonfive and nontie problems, are faster and more accurate than responses to other problems.

No clear answer has emerged, in part due to the difficulty of accounting for differences in length, frequency, and predictability between the words in the two classes. Based on evidence that readers differentially overlook function word errors, we hypothesized that function words may be more frequently skipped or may receive shorter fixations. We present two very large-scale eyetracking experiments using selected sentences from a corpus of natural text, with each sentence containing a target function or content word. The target words in the two classes were carefully matched on length, frequency, and predictability, with the latter variable operationalized in terms of next-word probability obtained from the large language model GPT-2. While the experiments replicated a range of expected effects, word class did not have any clear influence on target word skipping probability, and there was some evidence for a content word advantage in fixation duration measures. These results indicate that readers' tendency to overlook function word errors is not due to reduced time spent encoding these words. The results also broadly support the implicit assumption in prominent models of eye movement control in reading that a word's syntactic category does not play an important role in decisions about when and where to move the eyes.

Previous studies often found that the congruency sequence effect (CSE) is larger when perceptual context features (e.g., modality and format) of task-related distractors and targets repeat compared to change. However, it is unclear whether control adjustments can also be contextualized by more abstract stimulus features and/or by features of task-unrelated stimuli. The present study addressed this issue using a novel context manipulation in a confound-minimized prime-probe task. In Experiment (Exp.) 1, the modality (visual and auditory) of the distractor and target either repeated or changed. Critically, in Exp. 2, the distractor and target modality always switched, but the cross-modal intensity (brightness and loudness) could either repeat (e.g., bright → loud) or change (e.g., bright → soft). A larger CSE for context repeats (vs. changes) was observed in Exps. 1 and 2, indicating that both concrete (modality) and abstract stimulus features (cross-modal intensity) can contextualize control adjustments. Exps. 3 and 4 demonstrated that the CSE was not reliably affected when the context manipulation concerned a prior signal or a simultaneous background stimulus. Thus, task-related, but not task-unrelated, concrete and abstract stimulus features contextualize control adjustments. Moreover, distributional (delta plot) analyses of present and previous data revealed that the confound-minimized CSE and its contextual modulation reflect adjustments in the strength of cognitive control rather than in its timing. Overall, the present study provides new insights into how context information interacts with cognitive control to optimize decision making under conflict.

However, there are various ways to express negation in a multimodal manner. It still remains an unresolved issue whether nonverbal expressions of negation can influence linguistic negation comprehension. Based on extensive evidence demonstrating that language comprehenders are able to instantly integrate extralinguistic information such as a speaker's identity, we expected that nonverbal cues of negation and affirmation might similarly affect sentence comprehension. In three preregistered experiments, we examined how far nonverbal markers of negation and affirmation-specifically, the so-called \"not face\" (see Benitez-Quiroz et al., 2016) and red or green color (see Dudschig et al., 2023)-interact with comprehending negation and affirmation at the sentential level. Participants were presented with photos (\"not face\" vs. positive control; Experiments 1 and 2) or color patches (red vs. green; Experiment 3). They then read negated and affirmative sentences in a self-paced manner or judged the sensibility of negated and affirmative sentences (e.g., \"No, I do not want to sing\" vs. \"Yes, I would like to buy a sofa\"). Both frequentist statistics and Bayes factors resulting from linear mixed-effects analyses showed that processing times for negated and affirmative sentences were not significantly modulated by the nonverbal features under investigation. This indicates that their influence might not extend to sentential negation or affirmation comprehension.

This study investigated the relationship between task goals and selection history using a location probability learning (LPL) paradigm. We tested whether a top-down spatial cue facilitates or interferes with the acquisition of implicit LPL. In a visual search task, participants were asked to give precedence to one of four, spatially cued, quadrants of the screen. Unbeknownst to them, there was an underlying uneven spatial probability in which the target appeared disproportionately often in the cued quadrant (37.5%) and a second, uncued quadrant (37.5%). To assess what participants had learned, neutral, uncued testing trials with an equal target location probability (25%) were used. Results revealed faster search times in the cued and the uncued high-probability quadrants compared to the two low-probability quadrants and these fast search times remained prevalent in the neutral testing blocks. Importantly, LPL was comparable between the cued and uncued locations in the testing blocks, suggesting that the spatial cue neither facilitated nor interfered with LPL. These results support the dual-system view of attention, revealing parallel systems supporting both goal-driven and experience-guided attention.
