It has been suggested that when words and nonwords are presented mixed in the same blocks in transparent scripts the word frequency effect can be eliminated. This is either because in reading mixed blocks the lexical route is deemphasised in favour of the nonlexical route (route deemphasis) or because a homogenisation of reaction times occurs for words and nonwords by adjustment of a time criterion for articulation (time criterion). In five experiments using different list manipulations and experimental designs, we assessed the effects of frequency and length in reading aloud words and nonwords in the Italian transparent orthography. The effect of word frequency remained constant irrespective of context manipulation and nonword characteristics. As reading nonwords may be easier in Italian than in English, control over reading processing may be unnecessary for Italian readers. The results are discussed with respect to current computational models of reading.

This study investigated beginning adult second language (L2) learners' sensitivity to L2 morphosyntactic violations as a function of cross-language similarity. Online sensitivity was indexed by self-paced reading times at: (1) the critical word at which the violation could first be detected, (2) the post-critical word, and (3) the sentence-final word. In conditions in which morphosyntactic marking systems were similar or different in L1 and L2, reading times on the critical word were slower when it cued a violation than when it did not; however, this sensitivity was not apparent in a construction unique to L2. Slower reading times to violations spilled over onto the post-critical word. Cross-language similarity also influenced sentence-final word reading times. Despite this online sensitivity, post-sentence grammaticality judgements were generally poor. However, these judgements were influenced by morphosyntactic markings on words after the critical word, suggesting that learners can make use of this information.

Episodic retrieval processes involved in negative priming have been argued to be susceptible to the proportion of attended repetition trials. The more trials with the same prime and probe response, the more beneficial should it be to retrieve the prime episode, particularly its response. Retrieval of the prime episode, however, is task-inappropriate for ignored repetition trials, leading to negative priming. Correspondingly, visual negative priming increases with the proportion of attended repetition trials. We tested whether the same is true for the auditory modality. Three attended repetition proportion groups (0–25–50%) showed the same amount of negative priming. All groups committed more prime response errors in ignored repetition than in control trials, implying that prime response retrieval took place. Thus, retrieval processes in auditory negative priming appear to be automatic and cannot be influenced as easily as in the visual domain. In Experiment 2, the proportion of ignored repetition trials was manipulated (25–50–75%) to test whether auditory negative priming can be strategically manipulated at all. Similar to the visual modality negative priming was reduced with increasing proportion of ignored repetition trials. Differences between visual and auditory short-term memory are discussed to account for the results.

How fast can information of a first target (T1) in a rapid serial visual presentation be used for top-down allocation of attention in time? A valid cue about the temporal position of a second target (T2) was integrated into T1. The data show that 100 ms after T1 onset, T2 was identified better than without cue, raising the conditional T2 performance. T1 apparently triggers a facilitative effect of attention, known from other paradigms such as peripheral cueing.

Truth-table tasks probe for interpretations of if A then C conditionals by having people evaluate both true-antecedent cases (A and C, A and not-C) and false-antecedent cases, (not-A and C, not-A and not-C). Do these make the rule true or false, or are they irrelevant to the rule? Alternatively, are these cases possible or impossible when one assumes the rule is true? We present meta-analyses correcting the erroneous generalisation that false-antecedent cases are judged irrelevant by most people. Irrelevant judgement of a false-antecedent is only a modal response in a specific minority of cases (implicit “not-A and not-2” cases, e.g., “the letter is a B and the number is a 7” vis-à-vis “if A then 2”). Given that arguments against mental-models theory (e.g., Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 2002) are thus based on a mistaken idea about the “facts”, they require critical analysis. A reconsideration of the theory indicates that it accounts for all benchmark phenomena in truth-table tasks and even yields new predictions. The theory implies that a single case that does make the rule false does not make it true but is not irrelevant either. Such cases are consistent with the rule and corroborate it. Specific meta-analyses confirm the resulting prediction that “consistent” response rates are higher than “true” response rates, which goes at the cost of the irrelevant responses.
真值表任务通过让人们评估真先行情况(A和C, A和非C)和假先行情况(非A和C，非A和非C)来探索对if A then C条件的解释。这些规则是正确的还是错误的，或者它们与规则无关?或者，当一个人假设规则为真时，这些情况是可能的还是不可能的?我们提出的荟萃分析纠正了错误的概括，即大多数人认为假前因案件无关。假先行词的无关判断仅在特定的少数情况下是模态反应(隐含的“非a和非2”情况，例如，“字母是B，数字是7”，即-à-vis“如果a则2”)。鉴于反对心理模型理论的论点(例如Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 2002)是基于对“事实”的错误看法，它们需要批判性分析。对该理论的重新考虑表明，它解释了真值表任务中的所有基准现象，甚至产生了新的预测。该理论暗示，一个使规则为假的单一情况并不使规则为真，但也不是无关紧要的。这些案例符合规则并证实了规则。具体的元分析证实了结果预测，即“一致”的反应率高于“真实”的反应率，这是以不相关的反应为代价的。

With two experiments, effects of irrelevant speech and classroom noise on serial recall of common nouns presented pictorially were investigated in children and adults. Experiment 1 used fixed list lengths for children (first graders) and adults. Experiment 2 used list lengths adjusted to participants' (second–third graders, adults) individual spans. In both experiments, children and adults were equally impaired by irrelevant speech. This contrasts with a related study (differences in methodology) by Elliott (2002), who reported severe increase in the detrimental impact of irrelevant speech with decreasing age. In both experiments, classroom noise had no effect in overall analyses. For Experiment 1, however, separate group analyses revealed impairment in children. Results suggest that effects of irrelevant sounds on serial recall stem from two separate mechanisms: Specific interference due to the sounds' automatic access to short-term memory, and/or attention capture. Only for the latter there is developmental change.

People often fail to detect the anomalous word in questions such as How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark?, and incorrectly answer “two” despite knowing that Noah rather than Moses launched the Ark. The current study tests an account of this “Moses illusion” in which Moses mistakes reflect miscomprehension of the presented word (Moses) as the expected word (Noah) due to bottom-up (phonological) priming, top-down (semantic) priming, or both. Two experiments supported this miscomprehension account: Lexical- and proposition-level information contributed autonomously to miscomprehensions and Moses mistakes in Experiment 1, and prior presentation of nonanomalous information reduced subsequent anomaly detection in Experiment 2. Present results contradict accounts in which Moses mistakes involve semantic but not phonological processes, involve mechanisms different from everyday language comprehension, or involve special anomaly detection mechanisms for calculating the coherence between the Moses question and the anomalous word.

Unexpected sounds have been shown to capture attention, triggering an orienting response. However, opposing effects of this attention capture on the performance of a concomitant visual task have been reported, in some instances leading to distraction and in others to facilitation. Moreover, the orienting response towards the unexpected stimuli can be modulated by working memory (WM) load, but the direction of this modulation has been another issue of controversy. In four experiments, we aimed to establish the critical factors that determine whether novel sounds facilitate or disrupt task performance and the modulation of these effects by WM load. Depending on the overall attentional demands of the task, novel sounds led to faster or slower responses. WM load attenuated novel sound effects, independent of their direction (facilitation or distraction). We propose a model by which the unexpected stimuli always generate the same orienting response but result in distraction or facilitation depending critically on the attentional focusing induced by the task at hand and the temporal relationship between the irrelevant and task-related stimuli.

Adults hold several mistaken beliefs about simple mechanical and optical phenomena. In particular, many adults believe that they would be able to see their own image in a mirror before they are in front of it. Similarly, they expect objects to become visible in mirrors before they actually do. This overestimation of what is visible is known as the early error (Bertamini, Spooner, & Hecht, 2003). It has been suggested that incorrect models about mechanics, and therefore erroneous beliefs, develop over time, as evidenced by good performance in young children (Kaiser, McCloskey, & Proffitt, 1986). With respect to knowledge about what is visible in mirrors we report the first developmental data. We confirmed an effect for prospective University students but found no evidence of any early error in children between the age of 5 and 11. This erroneous belief about mirrors develops during the later school years when people develop a system of beliefs based on experience.

Simulation data are presented for a novel computational model of visual word recognition containing syllabic representation units. The model is based on the multiple readout model MROM (Grainger & Jacobs, 1996) and it was used to simulate data from a syllable frequency experiment. The model successfully simulates the inhibitory syllable frequency effect in lexical decision obtained so far in Spanish, German, and French. In addition, this model, fully representing the principles of interactive activation between the three representation layers of letter, syllable, and word units, proved successful in correctly parsing all presented stimuli contained in its lexicon with different types of syllabic structures. Multiple regression analyses on the model's output and on human data confirmed the model's ability to still account for effects of word frequency and orthographic neighbourhood like the original MROM (Grainger & Jacobs, 1996) it was derived from.
