Inhibition in task switching: The reliability of the n-2 repetition cost (2017)
Journal Article
Kowalczyk, A. W., & Grange, J. A. (2017). Inhibition in task switching: The reliability of the n-2 repetition cost. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 70(12), 2419-2433. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2016.1239750

The n-2 repetition cost seen in task switching is the effect of slower response times performing a recently completed task (e.g. an ABA sequence) compared to performing a task that was not recently completed (e.g. a CBA sequence). This cost is though... Read More about Inhibition in task switching: The reliability of the n-2 repetition cost.

The effect of episodic retrieval on inhibition in task switching (2017)
Journal Article
Grange. (2017). The effect of episodic retrieval on inhibition in task switching. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1568-1583. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000411

Inhibition in task switching is inferred from n–2 repetition costs: the observation that ABA task switching sequences are responded to slower than CBA sequences. This is thought to reflect the persisting inhibition of Task A, which slows reactivation... Read More about The effect of episodic retrieval on inhibition in task switching.

Does familial risk for alcohol use disorder predict alcohol hangover? (2017)
Journal Article
Stephens, R., Holloway, K., Grange, J., Kruisselbrink, D., Owen, L., & Jones, K. (2017). Does familial risk for alcohol use disorder predict alcohol hangover?. Psychopharmacology, 1795-1802. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-017-4585-x

Aims
Positive family history of alcohol use disorder (FHP), a variable associated with propensity for alcohol use disorder (AUD), has been linked with elevated hangover frequency and severity, after controlling for alcohol use. This implies that han... Read More about Does familial risk for alcohol use disorder predict alcohol hangover?.

The effect of alcohol hangover on choice response time (2016)
Journal Article
Grange, J., Jones, K., Stephens, R., & Owen, L. (2016). The effect of alcohol hangover on choice response time. Journal of Psychopharmacology, 654-661. https://doi.org/10.1177/0269881116645299

The effect of alcohol hangover on cognitive processing has received little attention. We explored the effect of alcohol hangover on choice response time (RT), a dominant dependent variable (DV) in cognitive research. Prior research of the effect of h...

Temporal Distinctiveness in Task Switching: Assessing the Mixture-Distribution Assumption (2016)
Journal Article
Grange, J. (2016). Temporal Distinctiveness in Task Switching: Assessing the Mixture-Distribution Assumption. Frontiers in Psychology, 251 -?. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00251

In task switching, increasing the response-cue interval has been shown to reduce the switch cost. This has been attributed to a time-based decay process influencing the activation of memory representations of tasks (task-sets). Recently, an alternati...

A deficit in familiarity-driven recognition in a right-sided mediodorsal thalamic lesion patient (2016)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: According to a still-controversial view of recognition, projections between the perirhinal cortex and the medial subdivision of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (mMDT) support the mnemonic processes underlying familiarity, whereas a separa...

The effect of practice on n-2 repetition costs in set switching. (2015)
Journal Article
Grange. (2015). The effect of practice on n-2 repetition costs in set switching. Acta psychologica, 14 -25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2014.11.003

Inhibition in set switching is inferred from so-called n-2 repetition costs: slower response times to ABA sequences compared to CBA sequences (where A, B, and C are arbitrary labels for different tasks). These costs are thought to reflect the persist... Read More about The effect of practice on n-2 repetition costs in set switching..

Estimating the reproducibility of psychological science (2015)
Journal Article
Grange, J., & Lewis, A. M. (2015). Estimating the reproducibility of psychological science. Science, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aac4716

Reproducibility is a defining feature of science, but the extent to which it characterizes current research is unknown. We conducted replications of 100 experimental and correlational studies published in three psychology journals using high-powered...

flankr: An R package implementing computational models of attentional selectivity. (2015)
Journal Article

The Eriksen flanker task (Eriksen and Eriksen, Perception & Psychophysics, 16, 143-149, 1974) is a classic test in cognitive psychology of visual selective attention. Two recent computational models have formalised the dynamics of the apparent increa... Read More about flankr: An R package implementing computational models of attentional selectivity..

The effect of N-3 on N-2 repetition costs in task switching (2014)
Journal Article
Grange, J. (2014). The effect of N-3 on N-2 repetition costs in task switching. Journal of Experimental Psychology, 760 -767. https://doi.org/10.1037/xlm0000059

N-2 task repetition cost is a response time and error cost returning to a task recently performed after one intervening trial (i.e., an ABA task sequence) compared with returning to a task not recently performed (i.e., a CBA task sequence). This cost... Read More about The effect of N-3 on N-2 repetition costs in task switching.

Can time-based decay explain temporal distinctiveness effects in task switching? (2014)
Journal Article
Grange, J. (2014). Can time-based decay explain temporal distinctiveness effects in task switching?. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 19 -45. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2014.934696

In task switching, extending the response-cue interval (RCI) reduces the switch cost--the detriment to performance when switching compared to repeating tasks. This reduction has been used as evidence for the existence of task-set decay processes. Rec... Read More about Can time-based decay explain temporal distinctiveness effects in task switching?.
