Gibeau, Rose-Marie; Maloney, Erin A.; Béland, Sébastien; Lalande, Daniel; Cantinotti, Michael; Williot, Alexandre; Chanquoy, Lucile; Simon, Jessica; Boislard-Pépin, Marie-Aude; Cousineau, Denis – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
This study investigates the correlates of statistics anxiety. Considering that statistics anxiety and spatial anxiety have been separately correlated with related constructs (e.g., mathematics anxiety, academic performance, etc.), the possibility that spatial anxiety plays a role in statistics anxiety is explored. When facing statistics or…

Bakker, Merel; Pelgrims, Elise; Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven; De Smedt, Bert – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
While symbolic number processing is an important correlate for typical and low mathematics achievement, it remains to be determined whether children with high mathematics achievement also have excellent symbolic number processing abilities. We investigated this question in 64 children (aged 8 to 10), i.e., 32 children with persistent high…

Febe Demedts; Jan Cornelis; Bert Reynvoet; Delphine Sasanguie; Fien Depaepe – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Math anxiety (MA) is an important affective factor that contributes to individuals' math proficiency. While self-reports are commonly used to measure MA, a number of limitations are inherently connected to this measuring method. Physiological responses are considered a promising alternative approach, but research is scarce and the empirical…

Van Der Auwera, Stijn; De Smedt, Bert; Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
This study examined adults' frequent, efficient and adaptive use of direct subtraction (DS) and subtraction by addition (SBA) in mental multi-digit subtraction with the choice/no-choice method. Participants were offered subtractions in one choice condition (choice between DS and SBA) and two no-choice conditions (mandatory use of either DS or…

Chi Zhang; Sarah Bernolet; Robert J. Hartsuiker – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
We studied the role of discourse coherence relations on structure formulation in sentence production by examining whether a connective, an essential signal of coherence relations, modulates the tendency for speakers to reuse sentence structures (i.e., structural priming). We further examined three possible modulating factors: the type of…

Recall performance in working memory (WM) is strongly affected by the similarity between items. When asked to encode and recall list of items in their serial order, people confuse more often the position of similar compared to dissimilar items. Models of WM explain this deleterious effect of similarity through a problem of discriminability between…

Muhammet Ikbal Sahan; Roma Siugzdaite; Sebastiaan Mathôt; Wim Fias – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
The human eye scans visual information through scan paths, series of fixations. Analogous to these scan paths during the process of actual "seeing," we investigated whether similar scan paths are also observed while subjects are "rehearsing" stimuli in visuospatial working memory. Participants performed a continuous recall task…

Kowialiewski, Benjamin; Gorin, Simon; Majerus, Steve – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Long-term memory knowledge is considered to impact short-term maintenance of item information in working memory, as opposed to short-term maintenance of serial order information. Evidence supporting an impact of semantic knowledge on serial order maintenance remains weak. In the present study, we demonstrate that semantic knowledge can impact the…

Liefooghe, Baptist; Hughes, Sean; Schmidt, James R.; De Houwer, Jan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Automaticity can be established by consistently reinforcing contingencies during practice. During reinforcement learning, however, new relations can also be derived, which were never directly reinforced. For instance, reinforcing the overlapping contingencies A [right arrow] B and A [right arrow] C, can lead to a new relation B-C, which was never…

Ostashchenko, Ekaterina; Deliens, Gaétane; Geelhand, Philippine; Bertels, Julie; Kissine, Mikhail – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
An ongoing debate in the literature on language acquisition is whether preschool children process reference in an egocentric way or whether they spontaneously and by-default take their partner's perspective into account. The reported study implements a computerized referential task with a controlled trial presentation and simple verbal…

Salvaggio, Samuel; Masson, Nicolas; Andres, Michael – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Behavioral studies have reported interactions between number processing and spatial attention, suggesting that number processing involves shifting attention along a mental continuum on which numbers are represented in ascending order. However, direct evidence for attention shifts remains scarce, the respective contribution of the horizontal and…

In dialogue, speakers tend to adapt their speech to the speech of their interlocutor. Adapting speech production to preceding speech input may be particularly relevant for second language (L2) speakers interacting with native (L1) speakers, as adaptation may facilitate L2 learning. Here we asked whether Dutch-English bilinguals adapt pronunciation…

Van Dessel, Pieter; Eder, Andreas B.; Hughes, Sean – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Over the past decade an increasing number of studies across a range of domains have shown that the repeated performance of approach and avoidance (AA) actions in response to a stimulus leads to changes in the evaluation of that stimulus. The dominant (motivational-systems) account in this area claims that these effects are caused by a rewiring of…

Veenstra, Alma; Antoniou, Kyriakos; Katsos, Napoleon; Kissine, Mikhail – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
We propose that attraction errors in agreement production (e.g., the key to the cabinets are missing) are related to two components of executive control: working memory and inhibitory control. We tested 138 children aged 10 to 12, an age when children are expected to produce high rates of errors. To increase the potential of individual variation…

Djalal, Farah Mutiasari; Hampton, James A.; Storms, Gert; Heyman, Tom – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
The present study investigated the relationship between category extension and intension for 11 different semantic categories. It is often tacitly assumed that there is a (strong) extension-intension link. However, a recent study by Hampton and Passanisi (2016) examining the patterns of stable individual differences in concepts across participants…
