  • Both task-irrelevant and task-relevant information trigger reactive conflict adaptation in the item-specific proportion-congruent paradigm

    Open AccessGiacomo Spinelli, J Bruce Morton et al.ARTICLEPsychonomic Bulletin & Review2022

    Adapting attention flexibly is a fundamental ability of the human control system. In the color-word Stroop task, for example, congruency effects are typically smaller for colors and words that appear mainly in incongruent stimuli (mostly-incongruent items) than for colors and words that appear mainly in congruent stimuli (mostly-congruent items). At least part of this item-specific proportion-congruent (ISPC) effect is due to a process of reactiv…

  • The Bilingual Advantage in Children’s Executive Functioning Is Not Related to Language Status

    Open AccessCassandra J Lowe, Isu Cho et al.ARTICLEPsychological Science2021

    There is considerable debate about whether bilingual children have an advantage in executive functioning relative to monolingual children. In the current meta-analysis, we addressed this debate by comprehensively reviewing the available evidence. We synthesized data from published studies and unpublished data sets, which equated to 1,194 effect sizes from 10,937 bilingual and 12,477 monolingual participants between the ages of 3 and 17 years. Bil…

  • Biases in Attention for Social Stimuli in Children are Associated with Patterns of Infant Attachment

    Open AccessPaul Meinz, J Bruce Morton et al.ARTICLESocial Development2016Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    The way an individual attends to social information has implications for his/her ability to regulate behavior in social settings. The results of the present investigation suggest that early experiences in parent–child relationships contribute to later differences in the deployment of attention to social information. The quality of the mother–child relationship was assessed at one‐year‐of‐age. At seven to eight years of age, a dot‐probe paradigm a…

  • Flankers facilitate 3-year-olds' performance in a card-sorting task

    Patricia L Jordan, J Bruce MortonARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2008Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    Three-year-old children often act inflexibly in card-sorting tasks by continuing to sort by an old rule after being asked to switch and sort by a new rule. This inflexibility has been variously attributed to age-related constraints on higher order rule use, object redescription, and attention shifting. In 2 experiments, flankers that were congruent with the new rule significantly facilitated 3-year-olds' use of the new rule and did so without cha…

  • What did Simon say? Revisiting the bilingual advantage

    Open AccessJ Bruce Morton, Sarah N HarperARTICLEDevelopmental Science2007

    Bilingual children often outperform monolingual children in tasks of cognitive control. This advantage may be a consequence of the fact that bilinguals have more practice controlling attention due to an ongoing need to manage two languages. However, existing evidence is limited because possible differences in ethnicity and socioeconomic status have not been properly controlled. To address this issue, we administered the Simon task to bilingual an…
