Acting in accord with long-term goals requires control of interfering impulses, the success which depends on several different processes. Using a structural-equation modeling approach, we investigated 5 behavioral components impulsivity: stimulus interference, proactive and response as well decisional motivational impulsivity. Results support existence correlated but separable impulsive behavior. The present study is 1st to demonstrate separability interference. It also supports notion that...
The Implicit Association Test (IAT; A. G. Greenwald, D. E. McGhee, & J. L. K. Schwartz, 1998) can be used to assess interindividual differences in the strength of associative links between representational structures such as attitude objects and evaluations. Four experiments are reported that explore extent method-specific variance IAT. most important findings conventionally scored IAT effects contain reliable method specific but independent measures' content, obtained absence a preexisting...
A visual short-term memory task was more strongly disrupted by than spatial interference, and a simultaneously interference. This double dissociation supports fractionation of visuospatial into separate components. In 6 experiments, this interpretation could be defended against alternative explanations in terms trade-offs resource allocation between tasks interference tasks, an involvement consolidation long-term memory, differential phonological-loop central-executive involvement, similarity-based
A multinomial model is used to disentangle the respective contributions of reasoning processes and response bias in conclusion-acceptance data that exhibit belief bias. model-based meta-analysis 22 studies reveals such are structurally too sparse allow discrimination different accounts Four experiments conducted obtain richer data, allowing deeper tests through use model. None current consistent with complex pattern results. new theory proposed assumes most reasoners construct only one...
The authors present a diffusion-model analysis of the Implicit Association Test (IAT). In Study 1, IAT effect was decomposed into 3 dissociable components: Relative to compatible phase, (a) ease and speed information accumulation are lowered in incompatible (b) more cautious speed-accuracy settings adopted, (c) nondecision components processing require time. Studies 2 assessed nature interindividual differences these components. Construct-specific variance relating construct be measured...
Evaluative priming effects are often found in the evaluative decision task, which persons judge affective connotation (positive vs. negative) of a target word. The present experiments examined list-context to test whether and semantic follow same laws. In Experiment 1, was at prime-target stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) 0 ms 100 ms, but not SOAs of--100, 200, 600, 1,200 ms. 2 manipulated SOA (0, ms) proportion (25%, 50%, 75%) pairs that were evaluatively related. Contrary typical finding...
The goal of the present research was to investigate role three central-executive functions-switching mental sets, inhibition prepotent responses, and simultaneous storage processing (i.e., working-memory capacity)-in accounting for method variance in Implicit Association Test (IAT). In two studies, several IATs with unrelated contents were administered along a battery tasks, multiple tasks tapping each above executive functions. Method found be related switching factor, but not factor. There...
Whether human evaluative conditioning can occur without contingency awareness has been the subject of an intense and ongoing debate for decades, troubled by a wide array methodological difficulties. Following recent innovations, available evidence currently points to conclusion that effects do not awareness. In simulation, we demonstrate, however, these innovations are strongly biased toward requires awareness, confounding measurement memory with conditioned attitudes. We adopt...
It is argued that a model of goal-independent spreading activation in social or semantic knowledge structure insufficient to explain implicit association effects the IAT (Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998). An alternative account proposed, which attributes differential costs for switching between task sets. Two experiments were conduced test this account. In Experiment 1, specific task-set cost was function condition: tasks associated with significantly more incompatible phase. second...
An ongoing discussion in the recognition-memory literature concerns question of whether recognition judgments reflect a direct mapping graded memory representations (a notion that is instantiated by signal detection theory) or they are mediated discrete-state representation with possibility complete information loss threshold models). These 2 accounts usually evaluated comparing their (penalized) fits to receiver operating characteristic data, procedure predicated on substantial auxiliary...
A multinomial model of the "Who said what?" paradigm (S. E. Taylor, S. T. Fiske, N. J. Etcoff, & A. Ruderman, 1978) explains pattern participants' assignment errors by means joint operation several processes. Specifically, memory for discussion statements, person memory, category and 3 different guessing processes can be accommodated model. The model's ability to disentangle these is validated in a series 5 experiments. thereby enables more refined use testing theories social categorization....
Recent work has found an affective priming effect using the naming task: In pronouncing target words, pronunciation latencies were consistently shorter when (e.g., loyal) was preceded by evaluatively congruent sunshine) rather than incongruent prime word (e.g, rain). Using task, no in present studies irrespective of prime-set size and target-set (Experiment 1), stimulus-onset asynchrony 2), even a nearly exact replication previous that demonstrated conducted 3). Finally, bilingual...
