“…We used portrait photographs of faces available in two online scientific databases (Langner et al, 2010;Minear & Park, 2004) and we added several photographs of Turkish men that we took ourselves. In total, we selected 36 photographs of faces for pre-testing 15 ACCENT, APPEARANCE, AND THEIR SEQUENCE EFFECTS 28 German-looking).…”

Foreign-Looking Native-Accented People: More Competent When First Seen Rather Than Heard

Psychological research has neglected people whose accent does not match their appearance. Most research on person perception has focused on appearance, overlooking accents that are equally important social cues. If accents were studied, it was often done in isolation (i.e., detached from appearance). We examine how varying accent and appearance information about people affects evaluations. We show that evaluations of expectancy-violating people shift in the direction of the added information. When a job candidate looked foreign, but later spoke with a native accent, his evaluations rose and he was evaluated best of all candidates (Experiment 1a). However, the sequence in which information was presented mattered: when heard first and then seen, his evaluations dropped (Experiment 1b). Findings demonstrate the importance of studying the combination and sequence of different types of information in impression formation. They also allow predicting reactions to ethnically mixed people, who are increasingly present in modern societies.

“…Data archives. Primary data from animal cognition research (Kurtzman, Church, & Crystal, 2002;Vaughan, 2004) have increasingly been made available by scientific societies, such as the Psychonomic Society (www .psychonomic.org/archive) and the Society for Neuroscience (big.sfn.org/NDG/site); by research institutes, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (libraries .mit.edu/guides/subjects/data); and by researchers' personal Web sites (e.g., www.brown.edu/Research/Timelab and www.uga.edu/animal-cognition-lab). These archives often include the times of all recorded behavioral and procedural events, as well as documentation of codes and other conventions.…”

A modular theory of learning and performance

We describe a theory to account for the acquisition and extinction of response rate (conditioning) and pattern (timing). This modular theory is a development of packet theory (Kirkpatrick, 2002; Kirkpatrick & Church, 2003) that adds a distinction between pattern and strength memories, as well as contributing closed-form equations. We describe the theory using equations related to a flow diagram and illustrate it by an application to an experiment with repeated acquisitions and extinctions of a multiple-cued-interval procedure using rats. The parameter estimates for the theory were based on a calibration sample from the data, and the predictions for different measures of performance on a validation sample from the same data (cross-validation). The theory's predictions were similar to predictions based on the reliability of the behavior.

“…This implies, therefore, that a complete description of the properties of the sentences is necessary for researchers to be able to implement particular manipulations and to control other variables with known mnemonic value, such as familiarity or emotionality. Most normative studies of verbal materials provide information for single words or pairs of words (for a review, see Proctor & Vu, 1999; Vaughan, 2004). However, the number of normative studies using sentences as stimuli is much lower.…”

Normative ratings for 536 action-related sentences in Spanish

Familiarity, emotionality, motor activity, memorability, and vividness of visual imagery ratings, on 7-point scales, were collected for 536 Spanish action-related sentences, including a corpus of 439 phrases originally normed in Swedish, German, and Croatian (Arar & Molander, 1996; Molander & Arar, 1998; Molander, Arar, Mavrinac, & Janig, 1999) and 97 new sentences describing actions usually performed using different body postures and face or hand movements. These norms constitute the only available set of ratings for action sentences in Spanish including those dimensions to date, and they allow for the design of studies aimed at empirically exploring the relationship between action, language, and cognition with well-controlled materials in Spanish-speaking samples of participants.
