Collaborative inhibition effect: The role of memory task and retrieval method
Saraiva, Magda; Albuquerque, Pedro B.; Garrido, Margarida V.It is well established that the recall of collaborative groups is lower than the pooled recall of an equal number of lone individuals—the collaborative inhibition efect (Weldon and Bellinger, J Exp Psychol Learn Memory Cogn 23(5):1160–1175, 1997). This is arguably the case because group members have conficting retrieval strategies that disrupt each other's recall—the retrieval strategies disruption hypothesis (...
The spatial grounding of politics
Garrido, Margarida V.; Farias, Ana R.; Horchak, Oleksandr; Semin, Gün R.In three studies, we advance the research on the association between abstract concepts and spatial dimensions by examining the spatial anchoring of political categories in three different paradigms (spatial placement, memory, and classification) and using non-linguistic stimuli (i.e., photos of politicians). The general hypothesis that politicians of a conservative or socialist party are grounded spatially was ...
Does the linguistic expectancy bias extend to a second language?
Garrido, Margarida V.; Saraiva, Magda; Semin, Gün R.The linguistic expectancy bias (LEB) reflects the tendency to describe expectancyconsistent behavior more abstractly than expectancy-inconsistent. The current studies replicate the LEB in Portuguese and examine it in a second language (English). Earlier studies found differences in processing a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) shaping affective and cognitive processes. We did not expect these diff...
A qualitative study about college students' attitudes, knowledge and perception...
Prada, Marília; Godinho, Cristina A.; Garrido, Margarida V.; Rodrigues, David L.; Coelho, Inês; Lopes, DinizExcessive sugar intake has been associated with multiple health conditions (e.g., higher risk for non-communicable diseases). Hence, health organizations have issued guidelines defining the maximum daily intake of free or added sugars. However, data from several countries suggests that these guidelines are rarely met, particularly by young adults. For example, almost half of Portuguese adolescents and young adu...
Parental perceptions and practices regarding sugar intake by school-aged childr...
Marília, Prada; Saraiva, Magda; Godinho, Cristina A.; Tourais, Bárbara; Cavalheiro, Bernardo P.; Garrido, Margarida V.Excessive sugar intake is one of the factors contributing to the alarming rates of childhood obesity and overweight in Portugal. Children's preferences and food consumption patterns are largely determined by the foods that are more familiar to them. Parents and caregivers are responsible for shaping children's eating habits since they are the ones who choose the food available in the household. The present stud...
The impact of sugar-related claims on perceived healthfulness, caloric value an...
Prada, Marília; Saraiva, Magda; Sério, Ana; Coelho, Sofia; Godinho, Cristina A.; Garrido, Margarida V.Food packaging usually includes multiple cues, including claims about nutrients that may modulate how the consumer perceives (and behaves towards) the product. In the current work, we systematically examined how different types of claims about sugar influenced the perception of food product categories (i.e., yogurts, ice creams, cookies, and breakfast cereals). In two experiments (combined n = 406), participant...
Asymmetric practices of reading and writing shape visuospatial attention and di...
Mendonça, Rita; Garrido, Margarida V.; Semin, Gün R.Movement is generally conceived of as unfolding laterally in the writing direction that one is socialized into. In 'Western' languages, this is a left-to-right bias contributing to an imbalance in how attention is distributed across space. We propose that the rightward attentional bias exercises an additional unidirectional influence on discrimination performance thus shaping the congruency effect typically obs...
Motives, frequency and attitudes toward emoji and emoticon use
Prada, Marília; Rodrigues, David L.; Garrido, Margarida V.; Lopes, Diniz; Cavalheiro, Bernardo; Gaspar, RuiElectronic Mediated Communication (EMC) has become highly prevalent in our daily lives. Many of the communication formats used in EMC are text-based (e.g., instant messaging), and users often include visual paralinguistic cues in their messages. In the current study, we examined the usage of two such cues – emoji and emoticons. Specifically, we compared self-reported frequency of use, as well as attitudes (6 bi...
The many faces of a face: Comparing stills and videos of facial expressions in ...
Garrido, Margarida V.; Lopes, Diniz; Prada, Marília; Rodrigues, David; Jerónimo, Rita; Mourão, Rui P.This article presents subjective rating norms for a new set of Stills And Videos of facial Expressions—the SAVE database. Twenty nonprofessional models were filmed while posing in three different facial expressions (smile, neutral, and frown). After each pose, the models completed the PANAS questionnaire, and reported more positive affect after smiling and more negative affect after frowning. From the shooting ...
