Verbal facilitation effects instead of verbal overshadowing in face memory of 4- to 6-year olds
(2015)
Research on eye witness memory in older children and adults revealed that verbally describing unfamiliar faces impairs later recognition of these faces, known as the “verbal overshadowing effect”. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a verbal overshadowing effect occurs in 4- to 6-year olds, too, and whether visualization (i.e., drawing the seen face) might elicit a visual overshadowing effect. Instead of a verbal overshadowing effect, a verbal facilitation effect was revealed with verbal intelligence ...

Dynamics of Norms in Decision-Making
(2024-01)
So far, there is a lack of understanding how norms change. The aim of the present dissertation was twofold: (1) addressing differences between change processes of different types of norms and (2) focusing more particularly on how norms are internalized. To study norm dynamics, a multi-method approach was chosen, combining theory, social simulation, and experimental research. In the theoretical contribution, a psychologically grounded conceptual model of norm change and decision-making was presented. Based on a refined ...

Promises and Pitfalls of Machine Learning Modeling in Psychological Research
(2024)
Algorithmen des maschinellen Lernens werden in der Psychologie und ihren Teildisziplinen immer beliebter. Sie werden häufig dafür angepriesen, dass sie mit der Multikollinearität von Prädiktorvariablen und komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Prädiktoren und Kriterien effizient umgehen können. Trotz ihrer Vorteile werden auch immer mehr kritische Stimmen laut, die auf die derzeitigen Grenzen von Vorhersagen durch maschinelles Lernen hinweisen und die Frage aufwerfen, ob die Algorithmen den Erwartungen gerecht werden. ...
