Current developments of Psychological Research and the use of AI
AI systems learn statistical regularities from large datasets to generate, classify, or transform information, producing outputs that are fluent and often difficult to distinguish from human-generated content.In research contexts, they can assist with idea development and study design, literature review and synthesis, data handling and analysis, writing and editing, publication support, communication, and ethical compliance (Khalifa & Albadawy, 2…

Preliminary effects of mobile computerized cognitive training in adults with mild cognitive impairment: Interim analysis of a randomized controlled trial
Computerized cognitive training (cCT) is a non-invasive treatment strategy in which individuals repeatedly practice computer-based tasks targeting specific cognitive functions. While traditional face-to-face cognitive training is costly and accompanied by long waiting times, mobile cCT can improve the healthcare situation due to its accessibility and versatility. This interim analysis of the NeuroNation MED Effectiveness Study (NeNaE) explores th…
Cognitive control and meta-control in dual-task coordination
When two tasks are presented simultaneously or in close succession, such as in the overlapping task paradigm of the psychological refractory period, dual-task performance on those tasks is usually impaired compared with separate single-task performance. Numerous theories explain these emerging dual-task costs in terms of the existence of capacity limitations in the constituent component tasks. The current paper proposes active dual-task coordinat…
A mechanism underlying improved dual-task performance after practice: Reviewing evidence for the memory hypothesis
Extensive practice can significantly reduce dual-task costs (i.e., impaired performance under dual-task conditions compared with single-task conditions) and, thus, improve dual-task performance. Among others, these practice effects are attributed to an optimization of executive function skills that are necessary for coordinating tasks that overlap in time. In detail, this optimization of dual-task coordination skills is associated with the effici…
Practice effects on dual-task order coordination and its sequential adjustment
When the performance of two tasks overlaps in time, performance impairments in one or both tasks are common. Various theoretical explanations for how component tasks are controlled in dual-task situations have been advanced. However, less attention has been paid to the issue of how two temporally overlapping tasks are appropriately coordinated in terms of their order. The current study focuses on two specific aspects of this task-order coordinati…
Controlling response order without relying on stimulus order – evidence for flexible representations of task order
In dual-task situations, both component tasks are typically not executed simultaneously but rather one after another. Task order is usually determined based on bottom-up information provided by stimulus presentation order, but also affected by top-down factors such as instructions and/or differentially dominant component tasks (e.g., oculomotor task prioritization). Recent research demonstrated that in the context of a randomly switching stimulus…
The contribution and interplay of implicit and explicit processes on physical activity behavior: Empirical testing of the physical activity adoption and maintenance (Paam) model
The adoption and maintenance of physical activity (PA) is an important health behavior. This paper presents the first comprehensive empirical test of the Physical Activity Adoption and Maintenance (PAAM) model, which proposes that a combination of explicit (e.g., intention) and implicit (e.g., habit,, affect) self-regulatory processes is involved in PA adoption and maintenance. Data were collected via online questionnaires in English, German, and…
Benefits of repeated alternations – Task-specific vs. task-general sequential adjustments of dual-task order control
An important cognitive requirement in multitasking is the decision of how multiple tasks should be temporally scheduled (task order control). Specifically, task order switches (vs. repetitions) yield performance costs (i.e., task-order switch costs), suggesting that task order scheduling is a vital part of configuring a task set. Recently, it has been shown that this process takes specific task-related characteristics into account: task order swi…
Under the sun: Adaptation effects to changes in facial complexion
It seems that we are updating our facial representations in memory quite quickly (i.e., optimizing our processing through adaptation) and seem to sustain those new representations over a certain timespan (at least 5 min). Our results demonstrate that changes in complexion draw our attention for deeper analysis (at least with decreased complexion). However, it loses its informative quality quickly via fast and relatively sustainable adaptation
The role of working memory for task-order coordination in dual-task situations
Dual-task (DT) situations require task-order coordination processes that schedule the processing of two temporally overlapping tasks. Theories on task-order coordination suggest that these processes rely on order representations that are actively maintained and processed in working memory (WM). Preliminary evidence for this assumption stems from DT situations with variable task order, where repeating task order relative to the preceding trials re…
Trial-to-trial modulation of task-order switch costs survive long inter-trial intervals
Our results are consistent with preparatory processes of task-order control or with episodic integration of task-order information but argue against accounts assuming short-lived, decaying task-order sets
Mechanisms of processing speed training and transfer effects across the adult lifespan: Protocol of a multi-site cognitive training study
This study will contribute to identifying the cognitive processes that change when training speeded tasks with varying attentional control demands across the adult lifespan. A better understanding of how processing speed training affects specific cognitive mechanisms will enable researchers to maximize the effectiveness of cognitive training in producing broad transfer to psychologically meaningful everyday life outcomes. Trial registration Open …
Structuralist mental representation of dual-action demands: Evidence for compositional coding from dual tasks with low cross-task dimensional overlap
The present study asks how behavioral (dual-action) demands in dual tasks are mentally represented and whether changes in representation might govern practice-related dual-task performance improvements. Three different representation accounts were empirically tested based on the idea that dual-action demands required in a dual-task trial might be represented in different ways. According to a compositional (Structuralist) account, component tasks …
A Gratton-like effect concerning task order in dual-task situations
Performing two tasks simultaneously involves the coordination of their processing. Task coordination is particularly required in dual-task situations with varying order of the component tasks. When task order switches between subsequent trials, task-order coordination leads to order switch costs in comparison to task order repetitions (i.e., worse performance in trials associated with an order switch compared to an order repetition). However, the…
No evidence for the reduction of task competition and attentional adjustment during task-switching practice
Can a connectionist model explain the processing of regularly and irregularly inflected words in German as L1 and L2
The connectionist model is a prevailing model of the structure and functioning of the cognitive system of the processing of morphology. According to this model, the morphology of regularly and irregularly inflected words (e.g., verb participles and noun plurals) is processed in the same cognitive network. A validation of the connectionist model of the processing of morphology in German as L2 has yet to be achieved. To investigate L2-specific aspe…
An evaluation of a micro-credit system to promote health knowledge among poor women in Bangladesh
A Micro-credit system (MCS) is a financial system to support the economic needs of the poor. It is thought of as a community-based method to solve various problems, including the lack of health-related knowledge. Participants are organized in groups that assemble in regular meetings. Hadi (Hadi in Health Promotion International 16, 219-227, 2001) investigated the MCS as a method to solve the lack of health-related knowledge among the poor in Bang…
