Winner Best Student Paper at ICCM

Our paper “The Locus of the Gratton Effect in Picture-Word Interference” (see here) has been elected as the best student paper at the recent International Conference on Cognitive Modeling in Manchester!

The paper describes how cognitive control may determine not only the effect size of picture-word interference, but also the stage in a task in which the interference occurs. Using a RACE/A model we show that the apparent shift of the interference effect from a late to an early effect locus may be the result of a decrease of the cognitive control on reading the word (of the picture-word stimulus).
