Inhibitory control (IC) is an important contributor to educational performance, and undergoes
rapid development in childhood. Age-related changes in IC were assessed using an in …

We investigated whether success in number-conservation and class-inclusion tasks relies
on a general ability to inhibit misleading strategies. Two groups of 10-year-olds performed …

In multitasking research, a central question revolves around whether humans can process
tasks in parallel. What “in parallel” refers to, however, differs between research perspectives …

For children, adolescents and educated adults, comparing fractions with common
numerators (eg, 4/5 vs. 4/9) is more challenging than comparing fractions with common …

Adapting a numerical comparison task to a negative priming paradigm, we aimed to provide
new evidence that inhibitory control processes are involved in numerical comparison. We …

In dual-task settings, one can find influences from Task 2 processing even on Task 1
performance, an effect referred to as the backward crosstalk effect (BCE). The size of the …

Intuitive conceptions represent common obstacles to conceptual learning in science. A
growing number of studies demonstrate that when learning occurs, these intuitive …

ABSTRACT Background/Study Context: The study investigated the Backward Crosstalk
Effect (BCE) in dual-task situations, that is, the observation that Task 2 characteristics can …

Contextual cueing refers to a form of implicit spatial learning where participants incidentally
learn to associate a target location with its repeated spatial context. Successful contextual …

There is considerable evidence that adults can prevent attentional capture by physically
salient stimuli via proactive inhibition. A key question is whether young children can also …
