Aguirre, Roberto; Santiago, Julio – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2017
Current evidence provides support for the idea that time is mentally represented by spatial means, i.e., a left-right mental timeline. However, available studies have tested only factual events, i.e., those which have occurred in the past or can be predicted to occur in the future. In the present study we tested whether past and future potential…

Jorge A. Pinto,; Vogel, Edgar H.; Núñez, Daniel E. – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2017
The learned predictiveness effect or LPE is the finding that when people learn that certain cues are reliable predictors of an outcome in an initial stage of training (phase 1), they exhibit a learning bias in favor of these cues in a subsequent training involving new outcomes (phase 2) despite all cues being equally reliable in phase 2. In…

Saraiva, Magda; Albuquerque, Pedro B.; Arantes, Joana – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2017
Studies on collaborative memory have revealed an interesting phenomenon called collaborative inhibition (CI) (i.e., nominal groups recall more information than collaborative groups). However, the results of studies on false memories in collaborative memory tasks are controversial. This study aimed to understand the production of false memories in…

Caballero Meneses, Jonathan Azael; Menez Díaz, Judith Marina – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2017
Emotional expressions have been proposed to be important for regulating social interaction as they can serve as cues for behavioral intentions. The issue has been mainly addressed analyzing the effects of facial emotional expressions in cooperation behavior, but there are contradictory results regarding the impact of emotional expressions on that…

Hohensinn, Christine; Baghaei, Purya – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2017
In large scale multiple-choice (MC) tests alternate forms of a test may be developed to prevent cheating by changing the order of items or by changing the position of the response options. The assumption is that since the content of the test forms are the same the order of items or the positions of the response options do not have any effect on…

Cadavid, Sara; Beato, María Soledad – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2017
A wide array of studies have explored memory distortions with the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm, where participants study lists of words (e.g., "door," "glass," "pane," "shade," "ledge," etc.) that are associated to another nonpresented critical word (e.g., WINDOW). On a subsequent memory…

Yudes, Carolina; Domínguez, Alberto; Cuetos, Fernando; de Vega, Manuel – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2016
This study explores the time-course of word processing by grammatical class (verbs vs. nouns) and meaning (action vs. non-action) by means of an ERP experiment. The morphology of Spanish words allows for a noun (e.g., "bail"-e [a dance]) or a verb (e.g., "bail"-ar [to dance]) to be formed by simply changing the suffix attached…

Lázaro, Miguel; Sainz, Javier; Illera, Víctor – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2015
In this article we present two lexical decision experiments that examine the role of base frequency and of derivative suffix productivity in visual recognition of Spanish words. In the first experiment we find that complex words with productive derivative suffixes result in lower response times than those with unproductive derivative suffixes.…

Moreno-Fernández, María Manuela; Salleh, Nurizzati Mohd; Prados, Jose – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2015
In Experiment 1, human participants were pre-exposed to two similar checkerboard grids (AX and X) in alternation, and to a third grid (BX) in a separate block of trials. In a subsequent test, the unique feature A was better detected than the feature B when they were presented in the same location during the pre-exposure and test phases. However,…

Orrantia, Josetxu; Múñez, David; San Romualdo, Sara; Verschaffel, Lieven – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2015
Adults' simple arithmetic performance is more efficient when operands are presented in Arabic digit (3 + 5) than in number word (three + five) formats. An explanation provided is that visual familiarity with digits is higher respect to number words. However, most studies have been limited to single-digit addition and multiplication problems. In…

Luna, David; Martínez, Héctor – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2015
The occurrence of spontaneous recovery in human spatial memory was assessed using a virtual environment. In Experiment 1, spatial memory was established by training participants to locate a hidden platform in a virtual water maze using a set of four distal landmarks. In Experiment 2, after learning about the location of a hidden platform, the…

Ferrando, Pere J. – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2015
Test-retest studies for assessing stability and change are widely used in different domains and allow improved or additional individual estimates of interest to be obtained. However, if these estimates are to be validly interpreted the responses given at Time-2 must be free of retest effects, and the fulfilment of this assumption must be…

Gul, Amara; Humphreys, Glyn W. – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2015
Congruency effects were examined using a manual response version of the Stroop task in which the relationship between the colour word and its hue on incongruent trials was either kept constant or varied randomly across different pairings within the stimulus set. Congruency effects were increased in the condition where the incongruent hue-word…

Saady, Amany; Ibrahim, Raphiq; Eviatar, Zohar – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2015
The goal of the present study was to extend the models explaining the missing-letter effect (MLE) to an additional language and orthography, and to test the role of phonology in silent reading in Arabic. We also examined orthographic effects such as letter position and letter shape, morphological effects such as pseudo-prefixes, and phonological…

Masin, Sergio Cesare; Crivellaro, Francesco; Varotto, Diego – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2014
The research field of intuitive physics focuses on discrepancies between theoretical and intuitive physical knowledge. Consideration of these discrepancies can help in the teaching of elementary physics. However, evidence shows that theoretical and intuitive physical knowledge may also be congruent. Physics teaching could further benefit from…
