Process dissociation of familiarity and recollection in children: Response deadline affects recollection but not familiarity (2014)
Journal Article
Koenig, L., Wimmer, M. C., & Hollins, T. J. (2015). Process dissociation of familiarity and recollection in children: Response deadline affects recollection but not familiarity. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 131, 120-134. https://doi.org/10.10

According to dual-process theories, recollection (slow and associated with contextual details) and familiarity (fast and automatic) are two independent processes underlying recognition memory. An adapted version of the process dissociation paradigm w...

Getting the Picture: Iconicity Does Not Affect Representation-Referent Confusion (2014)
Journal Article
Wimmer, M. C., Robinson, E. J., Koenig, L., & Corder, E. (2014). Getting the Picture: Iconicity Does Not Affect Representation-Referent Confusion. PLOS ONE, 9, e107910--e107910. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0107910

Three experiments examined 3- to 5-year-olds' (N = 428) understanding of the relationship between pictorial iconicity (photograph, colored drawing, schematic drawing) and the real world referent. Experiments 1 and 2 explored pictorial iconicity in pi... Read More about Getting the Picture: Iconicity Does Not Affect Representation-Referent Confusion.

Inhibitory processes in visual perception: A bilingual advantage (2014)
Journal Article
Wimmer, M. C., & Marx, C. (2014). Inhibitory processes in visual perception: A bilingual advantage. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 126, 412-419. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2014.03.004

Bilingual inhibitory control advantages are well established. An open question is whether inhibitory superiority also extends to visual perceptual phenomena that involve inhibitory processes. This research used ambiguous figures to assess inhibitory... Read More about Inhibitory processes in visual perception: A bilingual advantage.
