Risse, Sarah; Kliegl, Reinhold – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
During reading information is acquired from word(s) beyond the word that is currently looked at. It is still an open question whether such parafoveal information can influence the current viewing of a word, and if so, whether such parafoveal-on-foveal effects are attributable to distributed processing or to mislocated fixations which occur when…

Frings, Christian; Rothermund, Klaus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
The binding of stimulus and response features into stimulus-response (S-R) episodes or "event files" is a basic process for the efficient control of behavior. However, relevant information is usually accompanied by information that is irrelevant for the selection of action. Recent studies showed that even irrelevant information is bound…

Gondan, Matthias; Blurton, Steven P.; Hughes, Flavia; Greenlee, Mark W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
When participants respond to auditory and visual stimuli, responses to audiovisual stimuli are substantially faster than to unimodal stimuli (redundant signals effect, RSE). In such tasks, the RSE is usually higher than probability summation predicts, suggestive of specific integration mechanisms underlying the RSE. We investigated the role of…

di Fuccia, David; Witteck, Torsten; Markic, Silvija; Eilks, Ingo – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2012
By the 1970s a fundamental shift had taken place in German science education. This was a shift away from the learning of more-or-less isolated facts and facets in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics towards a restructuring of science teaching along the general principles of the respective science domains. The changes included also the addition of…

Piekny, Jeanette; Maehler, Claudia – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2013
According to Klahr's (2000, 2005; Klahr & Dunbar, 1988) Scientific Discovery as Dual Search model, inquiry processes require three cognitive components: hypothesis generation, experimentation, and evidence evaluation. The aim of the present study was to investigate (a) when the ability to evaluate perfect covariation, imperfect covariation,…
