In 4 experiments, the authors examined the use of the hands in simple arithmetic tasks.
Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that pointing increases both accuracy and speed in …

The present study examines the potential impact of a mnemonic acronym on the learning,
the execution, the resilience toward interruptions, and the mental representation of an eight …

We investigated effects of task interruption on procedural performance, focusing on the effect
of interruption length on the rates of different categories of error at the point of task …

The abstractness of cognitive representations and the extent to which mental processes
depend on the modality or format of stimulus inputs are central issues in cognition and …

Bringing together a comprehensive and diverse collection of research, theory, and thought,
this volume builds a foundation for the new field of Augmented Cognition research and …

Running Behavioral Experiments With Human Participants: A Practical Guide provides a
concrete, practical roadmap for the implementation of experiments and controlled …

Many cognitive tasks have what we refer to as a placekeeping requirement: steps or
subtasks must be performed in a linear or other systematic fashion, without repetitions or …

We examined effects of adding brief (1 second) lags between trials in a task designed to
study errors in interrupted sequential performance. These randomly occurring lags could act …

Educated adults solve simple addition problems primarily by direct memory retrieval, as
opposed to by counting or other procedural strategies, but they report using retrieval …

The goal of the present study was to examine effects of complexity and similarity of an
interruption task on postinterruption performance in an 8-step procedural task with …
