Individuals encounter problems daily wherein varying numbers of constraints require delimitation memory to target goal-satisfying information. Multiply-constrained problems, such as the compound remote associates, are commonly used study this type problem solving. Since their development, multiply-constrained have been theoretically and empirically related creative thinking, analytical solving, insight a multitude other cognitive abilities. In present study, we evaluated range abilities...
Recognition memory was investigated for individual frames extracted from temporally continuous, visually rich film segments of 5-15 min. Participants viewed a short clip in either coherent or jumbled order, followed by recognition test studied frames. Foils came an earlier later part the (Experiment 1) deleted selected random cuts varying duration (0.5 to 30 s) within itself 2). When foils 1), excellent, with hit rate far exceeding false-alarm (.78 vs. 18). In Experiment 2, worse, (.76) only...
Decisions to trust help form the basis of relationships and society yet little is known about their neurophysiology. We told participants they were playing a coin toss game with trustworthy an untrustworthy person measured neural activity EEG as decided whether those fictitious interaction partners. Target people ostensibly correctly reported outcome on 66% trials. Behaviorally, probability matched chose flips from each profile equally by end 100 Electrophysiologically, there reliable...
Working memory processes are important for analytic problem-solving; however, their role in multiply-constrained problem-solving is currently debated. This study explored individual differences working and successful completion of by having participants solve algebra compound remote associate (CRAT) problems varying difficulty under low high demand conditions. was predictive both problem-solving. Specifically, with solved more than those working. Memory load did not differentially affect...
Pain affects the lives of many individuals by creating physical, psychological, and economic burdens.A critical psychological factor negatively affected pain is one's ability to sustain attention.In order better understand effect on sustained attention we conducted three experiments utilizing psychomotor vigilance task, thought probes, pupillometry.In Experiment 1, participants in acute exhibited overall poorer task performance.However, this was localized relative frequency duration...
Research suggests that forcing participants to withhold responding for as brief 600 ms eliminates one of the most reliable findings in prospective memory (PM): cue focality effect. This result undermines conventional view controlled attentional monitoring processes support PM, and instead detection results from increased response thresholds allow more time PM information accumulate. Given significance such findings, it is critical examine generalizability delay mechanism. Experiments 1-4...
Working memory capacity (WMC) has received a great deal of attention in cognitive psychology partly because WMC correlates broadly with other abilities (e.g., reading comprehension, second-language proficiency, fluid intelligence) and thus seems to be critical aspect ability. However, it is still rigorously debated
