Influence of the constituent morpheme boundary on compound word access
Mem Cognit. 2023 Dec 5. doi: 10.3758/s13421-023-01494-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEmbedded morphemes are thought to become available during the processing of multi-morphemic words, and impact access to the whole word. According to the edge-aligned embedded word activation theory Grainger & Beyersmann, (2017), embedded morphemes receive activation when the whole word can be decomposed into constituent morphemes. Thus, interfering with morphological decomposition also interferes with access to the embedded morphemes. Numerous studies have examined the effects of interfering with boundary and constituent-internal let...

Resistance of a short-term memory concealed information test with famous faces to countermeasures
Mem Cognit. 2023 Dec 5. doi: 10.3758/s13421-023-01489-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe concealed information test (CIT) aims at identifying knowledge that a person wants to hide, by measuring physiological indices during the presentation of known versus unknown items. Recently, Lancry-Dayan et al. (Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, 7 (2), 291-302, 2018) proposed a new version of this test that included a short-term memory task to maximize differences between responses to items. Participants were asked to memorize four pictures of faces that included one face of an acquaintance. The authors observed t...

Pseudodiagnosticity and preference hierarchy in a search-only inference paradigm
Mem Cognit. 2023 Dec 4. doi: 10.3758/s13421-023-01502-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBayes' Theorem provides a rationality-standard for information search when there are two mutually exclusive hypotheses and one or more statistical cues pertaining to the likelihoods of the hypotheses. Prior research shows that when people already have a cue pertaining to a hypothesis and are asked to seek additional information to help decide which hypothesis is correct, they tend to exhibit a specific form of pseudodiagnosticity: Rather than seek information that would assess the same cue relative to an alternative hypothesis, they tend...

Greater target or lure variability? An exploration on the effects of stimulus types and memory paradigms
Mem Cognit. 2023 Dec 4. doi: 10.3758/s13421-023-01483-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recognition memory, the variance of the target distribution is almost universally found to be greater than that of the lure distribution. However, these estimates commonly come from long-term memory paradigms where words are used as stimuli. Two exceptions to this rule have found evidence for greater lure variability: a short-term memory task (Yotsumoto et al., Memory & Cognition, 36, 282-294 2008) and in an eyewitness memory paradigm (Wixted et al., Cognitive Psychology, 105, 81-114 2018). In the present work, we conducted a seri...

Obsolescence effects in second language phonological networks
Mem Cognit. 2023 Dec 4. doi: 10.3758/s13421-023-01500-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhonological networks are representations of word forms and their phonological relationships with other words in a given language lexicon. A principle underlying the growth (or evolution) of those networks is preferential attachment, or the "rich-gets-richer" mechanisms, according to which words with many phonological neighbors (or links) are the main beneficiaries of future growth opportunities. Due to their limited number of words, language lexica constitute node-constrained networks where growth cannot keep increasing in a linear way;...

Evidence for a multidimensional account of cognitive and affective theory of mind: A state-trace analysis
Mem Cognit. 2023 Nov 28. doi: 10.3758/s13421-023-01481-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTheory of mind (ToM) has been argued to be a multidimensional construct, with ToM inferences depending on distinct processes across affective and cognitive ToM tasks and across first-order cognitive and second-order cognitive ToM tasks. Behavioural evidence for a multidimensional account has primarily depended on dissociations identified via analysis of variance, a statistical approach insufficient for assessing dimensionality. Instead, state-trace analysis (STA) is a more appropriate statistical technique to uncover dimensionality. The...

Learning to draw parametric faces
Mem Cognit. 2023 Nov 28. doi: 10.3758/s13421-023-01498-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHumans' ability to draw faces accurately from memory is extremely rare. One source of difficulty is the drawing process itself, which requires converting a complex, three-dimensional mental representation to a two-dimensional drawing. To simplify the drawing process and more directly assess people's recall of faces, we used the Parameterized Face Drawing (PFD) model (Day & Davidenko, Visual Cognition, 26(2), 89-99, 2018; Day & Davidenko, Journal of Vision, 19(11):7, 1-12, 2019) to generate simplified face stimuli that non-artist...
