Distributional analyses reveal the polymorphic nature of the Stroop interference effect: It's about (response) time (2024)
Journal Article
Martinon, L. M., Ferrand, L., Burca, M., Hasshim, N., Lakhzoum, D., Parris, B. A., …Augustinova, M. (2024). Distributional analyses reveal the polymorphic nature of the Stroop interference effect: It's about (response) time. Memory and Cognition, https://doi.org/10.3758/S13421-024-01538-3

The study addressed the still-open issue of whether semantic (in addition to response) conflict does indeed contribute to Stroop interference (which along with facilitation contributes to the overall Stroop effect also known as Congruency effect). To... Read More about Distributional analyses reveal the polymorphic nature of the Stroop interference effect: It's about (response) time.

EXPRESS: No pupillometric evidence for effortful proactive control in the proportion-congruent Stroop paradigm. (2024)
Journal Article
Hasshim, N., Carruthers, M., Ferrand, L., Augustinova, M., & Parris, B. A. (2024). EXPRESS: No pupillometric evidence for effortful proactive control in the proportion-congruent Stroop paradigm. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218241235671

Cognitive control is the ability to allocate attention away from stimuli that are irrelevant to achieving a goal, towards stimuli that are. When conflict is anticipated, attention is biased in a global, top-down manner called proactive control and th...

Linking cognitive control to language comprehension: proportion congruency effects in syntactic ambiguity resolution (2024)
Journal Article
Hasshim, N., & Kukona, A. (2024). Linking cognitive control to language comprehension: proportion congruency effects in syntactic ambiguity resolution. #Journal not on list, 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1080/23273798.2024.2314027

Two experiments investigated the effect of sustained cognitive control engagement on syntactic ambiguity resolution. Participants heard (Experiment 1) or read (Experiment 2) garden path sentences like “Put the kiwi on the rectangle on the circle”, in...

Primacy of mouth over eyes to perceive audiovisual Mandarin lexical tones (2023)
Journal Article
Zeng, B., Yu, G., Hasshim, N., & Hong, S. (2023). Primacy of mouth over eyes to perceive audiovisual Mandarin lexical tones. Journal of Eye Movement Research, 16(4), https://doi.org/10.16910/JEMR.16.4.4

The visual cues of lexical tones are more implicit and much less investigated than consonants and vowels, and it is still unclear what facial areas contribute to facial tones identification. This study investigated Chinese and English speakers’ eye m... Read More about Primacy of mouth over eyes to perceive audiovisual Mandarin lexical tones.

Onset complexity and task conflict in the Stroop task (2023)
Journal Article
Parris, B. A., Hasshim, N., Ferrand, L., & Augustinova, M. (in press). Onset complexity and task conflict in the Stroop task. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218231214515

The present study examined the extent to which a key marker of task conflict, negative facilitation, is modified by onset complexity. Negative facilitation, slower RTs to congruent stimuli than to non-lexical neutral stimuli in the Stroop task, is th... Read More about Onset complexity and task conflict in the Stroop task.

Optimizing older adults' performance in the Stroop task (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Burca, M., Chausse, P., Clarys, D., Ferrand, L., Hasshim, N., Parris, B. A., …Augustinova, M. (2023). Optimizing older adults' performance in the Stroop task. In 23rd Conference of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology

Do Task Sets Compete in the Stroop Task and Other Selective Attention Paradigms? (2023)
Journal Article
Parris, B. A., Hasshim, N., Ferrand, L., & Augustinova, M. (2023). Do Task Sets Compete in the Stroop Task and Other Selective Attention Paradigms?. #Journal not on list, 6(1), Article 23. https://doi.org/10.5334/joc.272

Task sets have been argued to play an important role in cognition, giving rise to the notions of needing to switch between active task sets and to control competing task sets in selective attention tasks. For example, it has been argued that Stroop i... Read More about Do Task Sets Compete in the Stroop Task and Other Selective Attention Paradigms?.

Links between daytime napping, night-time sleep quality and infant attention: an eye-tracking, actigraphy and parent-report study (2022)
Journal Article
Hasshim, N., Bramham, J., Keating, J., Gaffney, R. A., Keenan, L., Conroy, S., …Downes, M. (2022). Links between daytime napping, night-time sleep quality and infant attention: an eye-tracking, actigraphy and parent-report study. Children, 9(11), 1613. https://doi.org/10.3390/children9111613

The current study explored the potential influence of infant sleep, measured by parental report and actigraphy, and family functioning on attention development using eye tracking. The use of actigraphy in parallel with parental report, has the advant...

The loci of Stroop effects: a critical review of methods and evidence for levels of processing contributing to color-word Stroop effects and the implications for the loci of attentional selection (2021)
Journal Article
Parris, B. A., Hasshim, N., Wadsley, M., Augustinova, M., & Ferrand, L. (2021). The loci of Stroop effects: a critical review of methods and evidence for levels of processing contributing to color-word Stroop effects and the implications for the loci of attentional selection. Psychological Research, 86, 1029--1053. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00426-021-01554-x

Despite instructions to ignore the irrelevant word in the Stroop task, it robustly influences the time it takes to identify the color, leading to performance decrements (interference) or enhancements (facilitation). The present review addresses two q...
