Reaction time is believed to be a good indicator of the speed and efficiency of mental
processes and is a ubiquitous variable in the behavioral sciences. Despite this popularity …

Working memory capacity is an important psychological construct, and many real-world
phenomena are strongly associated with individual differences in working memory …

In psychological experiments, participants are typically instructed to respond as fast as
possible without sacrificing accuracy. How they interpret this instruction and, consequently …

Current debate surrounds the promise of neuroscience for education, including whether
learning-related neural changes can predict learning transfer better than traditional …

Working memory capacity can be improved by recoding the memorized information in a
condensed form. Here, we tested the theory that human adults encode binary sequences of …

In an attempt to simplify data analysis and to avoid confounds due to speed-accuracy trade-
off, sometimes integrated measures of speed and accuracy are used. Although it has been …

Condition-specific speed–accuracy trade-offs (SATs) are a pervasive issue in experimental
psychology, because they sometimes render impossible an unambiguous interpretation of …

Intelligence is correlated with the ability to make fine sensory discriminations. Although this
relationship has been known since the beginning of intelligence testing, the mechanisms …

Impacts of exposure to particulate matter can be wide-ranging, with some evidence
suggesting potential impacts on nervous system, cognition, and productivity. However, most …

A decrease in vigilance over time is often observed when performing prolonged tasks, a
phenomenon known as “vigilance decrement.” The present study aimed at testing some of …
