The Effect of AI Benevolence on Humans’ Trust and Use of an AI Assistant in a Video Game Open
Recent studies stress the importance of trust in artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. Previous studies have primarily focused on how the ability and integrity (transparency) of AI affect people’s trust and usage intention. However, few s…

What makes working memory work? A multifaceted account of the predictive power of working memory capacity. Open
Working memory capacity (WMC) has received a great deal of attention in cognitive psychology partly because WMC correlates broadly with other abilities (e.g., reading comprehension, second-language proficiency, fluid intelligence) and thus…

Towards Modeling of Virtual Reality Welding Simulators to Promote Accessible and Scalable Training Open
The US manufacturing industry is currently facing a welding workforce shortage which is largely due to inadequacy of widespread welding training. To address this challenge, we present a Virtual Reality (VR)-based training system aimed at t…

ProcessAR: An augmented reality-based tool to create in-situ procedural 2D/3D AR Instructions Open
Augmented reality (AR) is an efficient form of delivering spatial information and has great potential for training workers. However, AR is still not widely used for such scenarios due to the technical skills and expertise required to creat…

Towards modeling of human skilling for electrical circuitry using augmented reality applications Open
Augmented reality (AR) is a unique, hands-on tool to deliver information. However, its educational value has been mainly demonstrated empirically so far. In this paper, we present a modeling approach to provide users with mastery of a skil…

Advancing the understanding of individual differences in attentional control: Theoretical, methodological, and analytical considerations Open
Attentional control as an ability to regulate information processing during goal-directed behavior is critical to many theories of human cognition and thought to predict a large range of everyday behaviors. However, in recent years, failur…

The role of maintenance and disengagement in predicting reading comprehension and vocabulary learning. Open
This study uses a novel framework based on work by Shipstead, Harrison, and Engle (2016) that includes measures of both working memory capacity and fluid intelligence in an attempt to better understand the processes that influence successf…

The Hype Cycle of Working Memory Training Open
Seventeen years and hundreds of studies after the first journal article on working memory training was published, evidence for the efficacy of working memory training is still wanting. Numerous studies show that individuals who repeatedly …

Do the effects of working memory training depend on baseline ability level? Open
There is a debate about the ability to improve cognitive abilities such as fluid intelligence through training on tasks of working memory capacity. The question addressed in the research presented here is who benefits the most from trainin…

Cognitive predictors of a common multitasking ability: Contributions from working memory, attention control, and fluid intelligence. Open
Previous research has identified several cognitive abilities that are important for multitasking, but few studies have attempted to measure a general multitasking ability using a diverse set of multitasks. In the final dataset, 534 young a…
