    • Forgetting emotional material in working memory 

      Mizrak, E; Singmann, H; Öztekin, I (Oxford University Press, 2017-12-20)
      Proactive interference (PI) is the tendency for information learned earlier to interfere with more recently learned information. In the present study, we induced PI by presenting items from the same category over several ...

    • Optimal trans-saccadic integration relies on visual working memory. 

      Stewart, EEM; Schütz, AC (2018-12)
      Saccadic eye movements alter the visual processing of objects of interest by bringing them from the periphery, where there is only low-resolution vision, to the high-resolution fovea. Evidence suggests that people are able ...

    • Verbal working memory encodes phonological and semantic information differently 

      Kowialiewski, B; Krasnoff, J; Mizrak, E; Oberauer, K (Elsevier, 2022-12-28)
      Working memory (WM) is often tested through immediate serial recall of word lists. Performance in such tasks is negatively influenced by phonological similarity: People more often get the order of words wrong when they are ...

      Giving people more time to process information in working memory improves their performance on working memory tasks. It is often assumed that free time given after presentation of an item enables maintenance processes to ...

    • Working memory capacity and controlled serial memory search. 

      Mızrak, E; Öztekin, I (2016-08)
      The speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT) procedure was used to investigate the relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and the dynamics of temporal order memory retrieval. High- and low-span participants (HSs, LSs) ...

    • Working memory recruits long-term memory when it is beneficial: Evidence from the Hebb effect. 

      Mızrak, E; Oberauer, K (2022-04)
      When encoding task-relevant information in working memory (WM), we can use prior knowledge to facilitate task performance. For instance, when memorizing a phone number, we can benefit from recognizing some parts as known ...
