The item-specific proportion congruence (ISPC) manipulation (Jacoby, Lindsay, & Hessels, 2003) produces larger Stroop interference for mostly congruent items than mostly incongruent items. This effect has been attributed to dynamic control over word-reading processes. However, proportion congruence of an item in the ISPC manipulation is completely confounded with response contingency, suggesting the alternative hypothesis, that the ISPC effect is a result of learning response contingencies (Schmidt & Besner, 2008). The current study asks whether the ISPC effect can be explained by a pure stimulus response contingency-learning account, or whether other control processes play a role as well, by comparing within- and between-language conditions in a bilingual task. Experiment 1 showed that contingency learning for noncolor words was larger for the within-language than the between-language condition. Experiment 2 revealed significant ISPC effects for both within- and between-language conditions; importantly, the effect was larger in the former. The results of the contingency analyses for Experiment 2 were parallel to that of Experiment 1 and did not show an interaction between contingency and congruency. Put together, these sets of results support the view that contingency-learning processes dominate color word ISPC effects.

Is spatial uncertainty necessary for the context specific proportion congruency effect? Bozkurt, Özge; Mısırlısoy, Mine; Department of Psychology (2019) Cognitive control is generally measured with the Stroop effect which is signified by slow responses in the incongruent (the word and color mismatch) items. The magnitude of the Stroop effect is modulated by experimental manipulations, for instance it is reduced by presenting items in mostly incongruent contexts as compared to mostly congruent contexts. The difference between the Stroop effects observed in these contexts is called the context specific proportion congruency (CSPC) effect. A large number of CS...
ISPC effect is not observed when the word comes too late: a time course analysis ATALAY, NART BEDİN; Mısırlısoy, Mine (2014-12-05) The item-specific proportion congruency (ISPC) effect is demonstrated by a smaller Stroop effect observed for mostly incongruent items compared to mostly congruent items. Currently, there is a continuing debate on whether conflict driven item-specific control processes or stimulus-response contingency learning account for the ISPC effect. In the present study, we conducted two experiments to investigate the time course of the ISPC effect with a stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) manipulation. Both negative and...
New physics effects to the lepton polarizations in the B -> Kl(+)l(-) decay Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Özpineci, Altuğ; Savcı, Mustafa (2001-09-01) Using the general, model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian, the general expressions of the longitudinal, normal, and transversal polarization asymmetries for l(-) and l(+) and combinations of them for the exclusive B-->Kl(+)l(-) decay are found. The sensitivity of lepton polarizations and their combinations on new Wilson coefficients are studied. It is found that there exist regions of Wilson coefficients for which the branching ratio coincides with the standard model result while the lepton pol...
On the arithmetic operations over finite fields of characteristic three with low complexity AKLEYLEK, SEDAT; Özbudak, Ferruh; Özel, Claire Susanna (2014-03-15) In this paper, the Hermite polynomial representation is adapted as a new way to represent certain finite fields of characteristic three. We give the multiplication method to multiply two elements of F-3n in the Hermite polynomial representation with subquadratic computational complexity by using a divide-and-conquer idea. We show that in some cases there is a set of irreducible binomials in the Hermite polynomial representation to obtain modular reduction with a lower addition complexity than the standard p...
The b -> sgg decay in the two and three Higgs doublet models with CP violating effects Goksu, A; Iltan, EO; Solmaz, L (2001-04-20) We study the decay width and CP asymmetry of the inclusive process b --> sgg (g denotes gluon) in the three and two Higgs doublet models with complex Yukawa couplings. We analyze the dependencies of the differential decay width and CP asymmetry to the s-quark energy E-s and CP violating parameter theta. We observe that there exist a considerable enhancement in the decay width and CP asymmetry is at the order of 10(-2). Further, it is possible to predict the sign of C-7(eff) using the CP asymmetry.
