Incongruency sequence effects reduce taboo interference in picture naming
This research investigated whether sequence effects, or facilitation from two consecutive trials that share incongruency, reduce taboo interference during speech production. Participants named pictures accompanied by distractor words that were congruent with (i.e. identical to) or incongruent with (different from) the name of the picture. Incongruent distractors also varied in emotion (taboo or neutral). Similar to pictures with incongruent-neutr…
Relating Tabooness to Humor and Arousal Ratings in American English
Emotion can have a profound effect on language processing, and taboo words have been increasingly used in research as highly emotional, negatively valenced stimuli. However, because taboo words as a lexical category are socially constructed and semantically idiosyncratic, they may also have complex emotional characteristics. This complexity may not be fully considered by researchers using taboo words as research stimuli. This study gathered taboo…
Ethical challenges in the use of digital technologies in psychological science
Digital technologies are pervasive in every aspect of our daily lives. The proliferation of such technologies has also influenced the conduct of biomedical, behavioral, and social research. The articles in this special issue provide illustrative examples of the range of applications of digital technologies in psychological science research across a variety of populations. They highlight ethical, legal, and social issues that emerge when digital t…
The Vikings in Ireland and Beyond
This collection of papers, edited by Howard B. Clarke and Ruth Johnson, originated at the seventh Midlands Viking Symposium, entitled ‘Viking-Age Ireland and its Wider Connections’, which was held in Dublin in 2011, its first meeting outside England. The volume opens with lines from Seamus Heaney’s ‘Trial Pieces’, inspired by Dublin’s Viking archaeology, followed by a short account of the career of the late Richard Hall, who died in 2011 and to w…
Age-Related Increases in Verbal Knowledge Are Not Associated With Word Finding Problems in the Cam-CAN Cohort
These results do not support the hypothesis that lifelong knowledge acquisition leads to interference that causes an age-related increase in TOTs. Instead, crystallized intelligence supports successful word retrieval, although this relationship weakens across adulthood
