Does global slowing explain age effects in inhibitory control? Open
A long-standing debate in the study of cognitive aging concerns whether aging results in a selective deficit in inhibitory control beyond a general slowing of cognitive processing. Previous studies have obtained mixed findings, in part bec…
PupEyes: An Interactive Python Library for Eye Movement Data Processing Open
We present PupEyes, an open-source Python package for preprocessing and visualizing pupil size and fixation data. PupEyes supports data collected from Eyelink and Tobii eye-trackers as well as any generic dataset that conforms to minimal f…
Delayed Goal-Directed Processing Underlies Inhibitory Control Challenges in Adult ADHD Open
It is well documented that ADHD is associated with challenges in inhibitory control. However, the underlying cognitive mechanisms that give rise to these difficulties are not well established. Here, we employ a novel “forced-response” meth…

Correction: A d factor? Understanding trait distractibility and its relationships with ADHD symptomatology and hyperfocus Open

Are abrupt onsets highly salient? Open
Abrupt onsets are commonly assumed to be a class of stimuli with high physical salience. This high salience has been used to explain past findings showing abrupt onsets captured attention more strongly compared to other types of distractor…
A brief intervention to improve reasoning about accumulation. Open
Prior research suggests that people often misunderstand visualizations of inflow (e.g., deposits in a banking context) and accumulation (e.g., cumulative savings) in dynamic systems. The present study aimed to examine participants' underst…
PupEyes: An Interactive Python Library for Pupil Size and Eye Movement Data Processing Open
We present PupEyes, an open-source Python package for preprocessing and visualizing pupil size and eye movement data. Developed with current best practices in mind, PupEyes offers a comprehensive and reproducible pupil preprocessing pipeli…
Are Abrupt Onsets Highly Salient? Open
Abrupt onsets are commonly assumed to be a class of stimuli with high physical salience. Presumably because of this, abrupt onsets tend to capture attention even when other types of distractors, such as color singletons, do not. However, t…
Attentional capture by abrupt onsets: Foundations and emerging issues. Open
The study of attentional allocation due to external stimulation has a long history in psychology. Early research by Yantis and Jonides suggested that abrupt onsets constitute a unique class of stimuli that captures attention in a stimulus-…
How does mind-wandering affect distractor suppression? Open
The current study examined whether the suppression of overt attention to a salient distractor requires attentional resources. In a feature-search task, participants searched for a constant shape among different shapes while ignoring a uniq…

The Temporal Dynamics of Visual Attention Open
Researchers have long debated how humans select relevant objects amid physically salient distractions. An increasingly popular view holds that the key to avoiding distractions lies in suppressing the attentional priority of a salient distr…
A d factor? Understanding trait distractibility and its relationships with ADHD symptomatology and hyperfocus Open
People differ substantially in their vulnerability to distraction. Yet, many types of distractions exist, from external stimulation to internal thoughts. How should we characterize individual differences in their distractibility? Two sampl…
The association between different sources of distraction and symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Open
Introduction Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are generally distractible. Yet, the precise relationship between ADHD and distractibility remains under-specified in two respects. First, different sources of distra…
Lingering on Distraction: Examining Distractor Rejection in Adults with ADHD Open
Effective visual search relies on reactively disengaging from distractors when the features of the distractors are unpredictable. Does this ability differ between adults with and without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)? Par…

The Forced-Response Method: A New Chronometric Approach to Measure Conflict Processing Open
Despite long-standing concerns about the use of free reaction times (RTs) in cognitive psychology, they remain a prevalent measure of conflict resolution. This report presents the forced-response method as a fresh approach to examine speed…

Icon arrays reduce concern over COVID-19 vaccine side effects: a randomized control study Open
On April 13, 2021, the CDC announced that the administration of Johnson and Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine would be paused due to a rare blood clotting side effect in ~ 0.0001% of people given the vaccine. Most people who are hesitant to get a…
Effects of Multisession Prefrontal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Long-term Memory and Working Memory in Older Adults Open
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive form of electrical brain stimulation popularly used to augment the effects of working memory (WM) training. Although success has been mixed, some studies report enhancements i…
