Examining Online Syntactic Processing of Spoken Complex Sentences in Chinese Using Dual-Modal Interference Tasks

5.9K
Here, we present a protocol employing dual-modal interference tasks to examine online processing of spoken-Chinese relative clause sentences. Two exemplar experiments involving auditory processing with intra- and extrasentential interferences are described. The paradigm provides a methodology for addressing the nature of working memory and its effects on sentence...

Learning and Memory: The Remember-Know Task

Our experience of memory is varied and complex. Sometimes we remember events in vivid detail, while other times we may only have a vague sense of familiarity. Memory researchers have made a distinction between memories that are recollected versus those that are familiar. A recollected item is one that is not only remembered, but carries with it details of the time at which it was learned or...

A Cognitive Paradigm to Investigate Interference in Working Memory by Distractions and Interruptions

14.1K
A novel cognitive paradigm is developed to elucidate behavioral and neural correlates of interference by to-be-ignored distractors versus interference by to-be-attended interruptors during a working memory task. In this manuscript, several variants of this paradigm are detailed, and data obtained with this paradigm in younger/older adult participants is...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Human Performance
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Dual-task interference research often excludes strenuous physical activities.
  • Swimming presents a unique, three-dimensional spatial orientation challenge without fall risk.
  • Previous studies explored dual-tasking with word recall in running and climbing, but not swimming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine performance effects when swimming and a verbal memory task are performed simultaneously.
  • To compare dual-task interference in swimming with other activity combinations.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed a verbal memory recall task and a swimming task individually (single-task).
  • The same tasks were then performed concurrently (dual-task).
  • Performance metrics were compared between single-task and dual-task conditions.

Main Results:

  • Significant dual-task interference occurred between swimming and word recall.
  • The observed interference was comparable to pairing word recall with another verbal task.
  • Interference was greater than with running but less than with climbing.

Conclusions:

  • Dual-task interference is evident between a physical swimming task and a cognitive verbal memory task.
  • These findings align with existing dual-task interference research.
  • Understanding this interference can inform training for water-based professions.
