Journal ArticleDOI
The task rule congruency effect in task switching reflects activated long-term memory.
Nachshon Meiran,Yoav Kessler +1 more
TL;DR: The authors tested the hypothesis that RT-TRCE reflects activated overlearned response category codes in long-term memory and showed that it was absent for tasks for which there were no response codes ready beforehand, and present after these tasks were practiced.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mental representation of music notation: notational audiation.
TL;DR: The study points to the profound reliance on phonatory and manual motor processing--a dual-route stratagem--used during music reading and further explores the phonatory nature of notational audiation with throat-audio and larynx-electromyography measurement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control by action representation and input selection (CARIS): a theoretical framework for task switching.
TL;DR: Control by action representation and input selection (CARIS) is a modeling framework for task-switching experiments, which considers action-related effects as critical constraints and control operates by choosing control parameter values, representing input selection and action representation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two dissociable updating processes in working memory.
Yoav Kessler,Nachshon Meiran +1 more
TL;DR: The authors show that the updating of working memory (WM) representations is carried out by the cooperative act of 2 dissociable reaction time (RT) components: a global updating process that provides stability by shielding WM contents against interference and a local process that providing flexibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imagined positive emotions and inhibitory control: the differentiated effect of pride versus happiness.
TL;DR: Inhibitory control is a cognitive mechanism that contributes to successful self-control and the effect of imagined positive emotional events on inhibition was explored, showing that imagining a happiness-eliciting event decreased inhibition relative to imagining a pride-elICiting event.
