Action Field Theory: The Roles of Memory and Action in Automaticity of Cognitive Control
Task-irrelevant features are processed even when people are fully aware of their undesired effects on task performance. This fact is exemplified by several types of interference effects in choice reaction tasks, such as Stroop interference and the Simon effect. The observations are typically attributed to inextricable consequences of automatic cognitive processes involved in performing these tasks. However, evidence has accumulated suggesting tha…
Item-level implicit affective measures reveal the uncanny valley of robot faces
The recent explosions of AI technologies have dramatically increased opportunities to interact with artificial agents, such as AI-powered chatbots, avatars, and robots. • Socio-emotional impact of such interactions is a key consideration for acceptance of these technologies in the future. • The uncanny valley effect is a psychological phenomenon that arises in human-robot interaction, which receives mixed support from recent studies. • The presen…
Does preparation generate the cost of task switching? A recipe for a switch cost after cue-only trials
A switch cost can be observed in cued task-switching on trials that follow a cue-only trial , which presents a task cue indicating a task to be performed but does not present a target stimulus to be responded to. This finding has provided important implications as to the source of the performance cost that emerges when switching tasks. However, cue-only trials differ from completed trials (for which the target occurs and is responded to) in sever…
Exploring an emotional basis of cognitive control in the flanker task
The present study investigated the influence of emotional stimuli in the flanker task. In six experiments, separate influences of anticipating and reacting to valence-laden stimuli (affective pictures or facial expressions) on the flanker effect and its sequential modulation (also known as conflict adaptation) were examined. The results showed that there was little evidence that emotional stimuli influenced cognitive control when positive and neg…
Investigating task preparation and task performance as triggers of the backward inhibition effect
Backward inhibition is posited to aid task switching by counteracting the tendency to repeat a recent task. Evidence that factors such as cue transparency affect backward inhibition seems to imply that it is generated during task preparation, making its absence following trials on which a prepared task was not performed (nogo trials) surprising. However, the nogo method used in previous studies might have prevented detection of preparation-driven…
