Animacy enhances recollection but not familiarity: Convergent evidence from the remember-know-guess paradigm and the process-dissociation procedure
Abstract Words representing living beings are better remembered than words representing
nonliving objects, a robust finding called the animacy effect. Considering the postulated …

The animacy effect on free recall is equally large in mixed and pure word lists or pairs
The cognitive mechanisms underlying the animacy effect on free recall have as yet to be
identified. According to the attentional-prioritization account, animate words are better …

Acoustic, and categorical, deviation effects are produced by different mechanisms: evidence from additivity and habituation
Sounds that deviate, acoustically or semantically, from prevailing auditory backgrounds
disrupt ongoing mental activity. An acoustic deviant is held to capture attention, but doubt …

What makes background music distracting? Investigating the role of song lyrics using self-paced reading
MR Vasilev, L Hitching, S Tyrrell - Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
It has been suggested that listening to music during reading may be distracting, but the
empirical results have remained inconclusive. One limitation of previous studies is that they …

The disruptive effects of changing-state sound and emotional prosody on verbal short-term memory in blind, visually impaired, and sighted listeners
F Kattner, M Fischer, AL Caling… - Journal of Cognitive …, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
Previous findings suggest that blind listeners are less susceptible to auditory distraction in a
