Otgaar, Henry; Peters, Maarten; Howe, Mark L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
The present study examined the impact of divided attention on children's and adults' neutral and negative true and false memories in a standard Deese/Roediger-McDermott paradigm. Children (7- and 11-year-olds; n = 126) and adults (n = 52) received 5 neutral and 5 negative Deese/Roediger-McDermott word lists; half of each group also received a…

Schmittmann, Verena D.; van der Maas, Han L. J.; Raijmakers, Maartje E. J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2012
Behavioral, psychophysiological, and neuropsychological studies have revealed large developmental differences in various learning paradigms where learning from positive and negative feedback is essential. The differences are possibly due to the use of distinct strategies that may be related to spatial working memory and attentional control. In…

In-Albon, Tina; Kossowsky, Joe; Schneider, Silvia – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2010
The "vigilance-avoidance" attention pattern is found in anxious adults, who initially gaze more at threatening pictures than nonanxious adults (vigilance), but subsequently gaze less at them than nonanxious adults (avoidance). The present research, using eye tracking methodology, tested whether anxious children show the same pattern. Children with…

Auditory and Visual Differences in Time Perception? An Investigation from a Developmental Perspective with Neuropsychological Tests
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zelanti, Pierre S.; Droit-Volet, Sylvie – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2012
Adults and children (5- and 8-year-olds) performed a temporal bisection task with either auditory or visual signals and either a short (0.5-1.0s) or long (4.0-8.0s) duration range. Their working memory and attentional capacities were assessed by a series of neuropsychological tests administered in both the auditory and visual modalities. Results…

Attentional Capture by Salient Color Singleton Distractors Is Modulated by Top-Down Dimensional Set
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Muller, Hermann J.; Geyer, Thomas; Zehetleitner, Michael; Krummenacher, Joseph – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Three experiments examined whether salient color singleton distractors automatically interfere with the detection singleton form targets in visual search (e.g., J. Theeuwes, 1992), or whether the degree of interference is top-down modulable. In Experiments 1 and 2, observers started with a pure block of trials, which contained either never a…
