Preparing for novel versus familiar events: shifts in global and local processing.
30 Jul 2009 
Six experiments examined whether novelty versus familiarity influences global versus local processing styles. Novelty and familiarity were manipulated by either framing a task as new versus familiar or by asking participants to reflect upon novel ...

Embodiment of abstract concepts: good and bad in right- and left-handers.
30 Jul 2009 Do people with different kinds of bodies think differently? According to the body-specificity hypothesis, people who interact with their physical environments in systematically different ways should form correspondingly different mental ...

Word semantics is processed even without attentional effort.
30 Jul 2009 We examined the attentional modulation of semantic priming and the N400 effect for spoken words. The aim was to find out how the semantics of spoken language is processed when attention is directed to another modality (passive task), to the ...

The middle range of the number line orients attention to the left side of visual space.
28 Jul 2009 Mental representation of numbers is believed to be spatial in nature, with small numbers occupying the left and large numbers the right side of a putative mental number line. Consistent with this, presentation of numbers from the low and high ends ...

The rapid development of explicit gaze judgment ability at 3 years.
26 Jul 2009 Two studies examined development of the ability to judge what another person is looking at. In Study 1, 54 2- to 4-year-olds judged where someone was looking in real-life, photograph, and drawing formats. A minority of 2-year-olds, but a majority of ...

Uniting the tribes of fluency to form a metacognitive nation.
26 Jul 2009 Processing fluency, or the subjective experience of ease with which people process information, reliably influences people's judgments across a broad range of social dimensions. Experimenters have manipulated processing fluency using a vast array of ...

23 Jul 2009 This investigation used adaptation aftereffects to examine developmental changes in the perception of facial expressions. Previous studies have shown that adults' perceptions of ambiguous facial expressions are biased following adaptation to intense ...

Can chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) discriminate appearance from reality?
22 Jul 2009 A milestone in human development is coming to recognize that how something looks is not necessarily how it is. We tested appearance-reality understanding in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) with a task requiring them to choose between a small grape and ...

Beyond perception: testing for implicit conceptual traces in high-load tasks.
19 Jul 2009 The present commentary addresses the main results obtained in the Butler and Klein [Butler, B. C., & Klein, R. (2009). Inattentional blindness for ignored words: Comparison of explicit and implicit memory tasks. Consciousness and Cognition, 18, ...

Two-year-olds exclude novel objects as potential referents of novel words based on pragmatics.
15 Jul 2009 Many studies have established that children tend to exclude objects for which they already have a name as potential referents of novel words. In the current study we asked whether this exclusion can be triggered by social-pragmatic context alone ...
