Deontic signs increase control monitoring: Evidence from a modified traffic fla...
Garcia-Marques, Teresa; Figueira, Pedro; Fernandes, Alexandre; Martins, JoãoDeontic norms are expected to impose individuals’ control over their behavior. In this paper, we address such norms presented in trafc signs and test their infuence over executive control functions. For Experiment 1, we develop a trafc fanker task in which the typical neutral arrows are replaced with trafc prohibition/obligation signs. Experiment 2 isolated the deontic aspect of the signs using simple arrows on...

The other side of self-monitoring: Inhibition control in and out a social context
Figueira, Pedro; Garcia-Marques, TeresaAlthough the Stroop effect depends on cognitive monitoring efficiency, it is not yet clear if the Self- Monitoring personality trait is related with such efficiency. Here we contrast two likely hypotheses. If we assume executive control functions to be more activated by individuals’ personality tendency to monitor their behavior, we should expect High Self-Monitors to reduce Stroop interference. However, if we ...

Paradigma associado ao estudo da ilusão de verdade
Silva, Rita Rocha da; Figueira, Pedro; Garcia-Marques, TeresaNeste artigo apresentamos o paradigma subjacente ao efeito de ilusão de verdade – o fenómeno que demonstra que afirmações familiares são julgadas como mais verdadeiras do que afirmações novas. O paradigma base é aqui descrito em detalhe, sendo também descritas as principais variáveis moderadoras do efeito e as principais teorias que tentam explicá-lo.
