It is magic! How impossible solutions prevent the discovery of obvious ones?:

Thomas, Cyril; Didierjean, André; Kuhn, Gustav

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021817743439

When confronted with an insight problem, some factors limit our capacity to discover the optimal solution. Previous research on problem solving has shown that the first idea that comes to participants’ minds can inhibit them from finding better alternative solutions. We used a magic trick to...

The role of stimulus comparison in animal perceptual learning: Effects of a distractor placement

Recio, Sergio A; Iliescu, Adela F; de Brugada, Isabel

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021818757101 pmid:29350108

Research on perceptual learning shows that the way stimuli are presented leads to different outcomes. The intermixed/blocked (I/B) effect is one of these outcomes, and different mechanisms have been proposed to explain it. In human research, it seems that comparison between stimuli is important,...

The contrast effect in reading general conditionals

Wang, Moyun; Yao, Xinyun

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021817746154

To adjudicate between deterministic and probabilistic accounts of the meaning of conditionals, we examined the influence of context on the reading of general conditionals. Context was varied with the contrast context, where participants judged uncertain conditionals after certain conditionals,...

Biasing and debiasing health decisions with bar graphs: Costs and benefits of graph literacy

Okan, Yasmina; Garcia-Retamero, Rocio; Cokely, Edward T; Maldonado, Antonio

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021817744546

Bar graphs can improve risk communication in medicine and health. Unfortunately, recent research has revealed that bar graphs are associated with a robust bias that can lead to systematic judgement and decision-making errors. When people view bar graphs representing means, they tend to believe...

Affect as an antecedent of synchrony: A spectrum analysis with wavelet transform:

Fujiwara, Ken; Daibo, Ikuo

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021817745861

This study explored whether affect could be an antecedent of synchrony (i.e., the convergence of rhythm and timing) in face-to-face conversations. Although previous studies have failed to illustrate that affective valence causes synchrony, they did not employ experimental manipulation of...

Stronger, sooner, and more certain climate change: A link between certainty and outcome strength in revised forecasts

Løhre, Erik

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021817746062

What do lay people think about revised forecasts of future outcomes? A series of experiments show that when climate change forecasts are revised in an upward direction (e.g., a higher sea level rise is predicted in light of new information), the forecast is perceived as more certain in contrast...

The influence of conflict monitoring on meta-reasoning and response times in a base rate task

Dujmović, Marin; Valerjev, Pavle

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021817746924

We examined the role of conflict monitoring processes in forming metacognitive judgements of confidence while performing base rate tasks. Recently proposed models of dual-process reasoning, as well as research, have shown that conflict detection might represent a link between Type 1 and Type 2...

No lexical competition without priming: Evidence from the picture–word interference paradigm

Gauvin, Hanna S; Jonen, Magdalena K; Choi, Jessica; McMahon, Katie; de Zubicaray, Greig I

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021817747266

Over the past 40 years, researchers have assumed that semantic interference effects in picture naming reflect competition among lexical candidates during retrieval. In this study, we examined the role of the familiarisation phase in which participants are shown the target pictures and required to...

Exploring the sentence advantage in working memory: Insights from serial recall and recognition

Allen, Richard J; Hitch, Graham J; Baddeley, Alan D

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021817746929

Immediate serial recall of sentences has been shown to be superior to that of unrelated words. This study was designed to further explore how this effect might emerge in recall and to establish whether it also extends to serial recognition, a different form of response task that has relatively...

Journal Article

On the perceptual aesthetics of interactive objects:

Soranzo, Alessandro; Petrelli, Daniela; Ciolfi, Luigina; Reidy, John

2018 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

doi:10.1177/1747021817749228 pmid:29364061

This study examined the aesthetics of interactive objects (IOs), which are three-dimensional physical artefacts that exhibit autonomous behaviour when handled. The aim of the research was threefold: first, to investigate whether aesthetic preference for distinctive objects’ structures emerges in...
