How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

The claim that cognitive control is constrained by a general stability–flexibility tradeoff dimension has inspired research, ranging from modeling of basic control phenomena to cognitive implications for psychiatric conditions. Yet, the results with variants of the task-switching paradigm show (1) evidence of ‘anti-tradeoff’ patterns (co-occurrence...
Introduction: Memory interference poses a challenge to accurate recall when memories share similarities. Previous research (e. g. Favila et al., 2016) has highlighted hippocampal repulsion as a mechanism to reduce interference. More specifically, Wanjia et al. (2021) have shown that hippocampal repulsion occurs precisely when memory interference is...
It is commonly thought that being distracted slows us down. However, it is also possible that a slower response speed leads to greater distractibility. This prediction is derived from a simple model that assumes (a) that people weigh the costs/benefits of exploitation (focusing on current goals) versus exploration (checking the environment for usef...
Previous studies from our research group have demonstrated that one of the consequences of cognitive aging is a strong reliance on information stored in the environment (external), even when sufficient memory information (internal) is available. We have also demonstrated that this tendency may to some degree reflect a rational adaptation to aging,...
As humans age, we experience a slowing of cognitive processing due to the natural neuronal degeneration which is manifested in increased distractibility in older adults. Understanding interactions between these individuals and their environment can help shed light on the relationship between perceived distractibility and atypical cognition. Does co...
At any point in time, humans either continue working on the task they have been working on (exploitation) or search the environment for other options (exploration). Here, we investigated the effect respiration has on the balance between exploitation and exploration behaviors in two eye-tracking experiments. In the first experiment, hidden random tr...
At any point in time, individuals either orient themselves to the outside world, or rely on their internal representations (i.e., memories) to guide behavior and actions. We investigated to what degree the respiratory cycle modulates spontaneous exploration of the environment. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that the tendency to direct atten...
Nesta pesquisa, foram analisados os movimentos oculares de estudantes de Engenharia da UTFPR durante a leitura de questões matemáticas em frente a um rastreador ocular. Participaram da primeira fase 47 alunos que finalizavam a disciplina de Cálculo Diferencial Integral I. Na segunda etapa, participaram nove alunos que reprovaram e refizeram o teste...
Ob schnelleres Lesen ohne zusätzliche Anstrengung und geringere Textverständnisleistung möglich ist, ist umstritten. Vor kurzer Zeit erschien eine inzwischen populär gewordene Applikation: Spritz bedient sich der schnellen seriellen Präsentation von Worten (rapid serial visual presentation, RSVP) und berücksichtigt Verarbeitungsprozesse beim Lesen,...
