When making decisions, individuals often receive advice from others and incorporate this advice into their own judgments and decisions-under certain conditions leading to increases in decision quality and confidence. Beyond the typical paradigm examining advice-based decisions, several research avenues emerged in recent years that rely on advice taking and extend the typical paradigm to various different tasks and contexts. In this symposium, we thus introduce several novel directions for advice taking and related research. The first contribution provides an overview of typical paradigms and findings of empirical studies on advice-based decisions conducted over the last 15 years in behavioral and organizational research. The second contribution describes a newly developed (largely) culture-fair estimation task that solely requires secondary school level as a basis for conducting between-culture comparisons of advice taking in Chinese and German students. The third talk will present an application of the advice taking paradigm to investigate social influence in moral judgments at the example of the asymmetric moral conformity effect. The fourth contribution addresses sequential collaboration, a process relying on consecutively improving contributions made by others in which previous contributions can be viewed as advice for later contributors. Some of the previous findings will be reassessed to complement the presentation of a novel statistical modeling approach for process-consistent analysis of judgment formation in part five. The final contribution addresses how people update their beliefs about the validity of effects when being confronted with various scientific evidence, which can be viewed as a form of advice.

Cognitive-ecological approaches have emphasised the influence of the information sample on judgements and decisions. These information samples are often actively solicited and thus crucially influenced by the agent’s cognitive processing and goals. This symposium will shed light on how these influences extend to judgements and decisions via the underlying information sampling process. Seidler will discuss how basic cognitive processes in number perception and integration impact economic judgement when information is acquired by sequentially sampling positive and negative numbers. Prager will highlight diagnosticity as a crucial determinant of sampling and judgement behaviour. In a personnel selection context, not only the characteristics of the information on the candidate, but also their interaction with characteristics of the target job profile determined information search, job-fit judgements and confidence. Taking up confidence, McCaughey will examine how accumulated evidence and subjective confidence are used to regulate the amount of sampled information and discuss potential ways of how the two interact. Niese tested the role of sampling in an evaluative conditioning context and will present findings demonstrating that people show a positive evaluative shift after sampling conditioned stimuli more (vs. less frequently), regardless of whether a stimulus is paired with positive or negative unconditioned stimuli. Importantly, this effect is moderated by people’s sampling goals. Biella will explain how the exploration of the social environment strongly depends on whether the information search is interested (information is immediately rewarding conditionally on its pleasantness) or disinterested (information is accumulated for later use). How biased an information sample is depends on which of the two dominates the sampling process. The final discussion will engage the audience in a discussion about how these research questions and insights can be connected in the name of theory integration.

Automated driving continues to approach reality. Research in traffic psychology in this area focuses on how to achieve a high level of acceptance and thus willingness to buy by designing these vehicles and their behavior accordingly. Or to put it more positively: How do these vehicles have to be designed to be pleasant and positive for passengers and other human road users? The first paper is about using an adaptation of driving behavior of automatic cars to show the passenger that the vehicle understands and takes into account the possible criticality of a situation. The second paper examines the extent to which the behavior of automated vehicles could lead to positive effects on the behavior of human drivers in the sense of model learning, and thus increase road safety. The third and fourth contributions deal with interior design for passengers of automated vehicles, certainly a key way to increase comfort. This is complemented by a contribution that examines possible use cases for automated driving in the context of one's own family, in the sense of a requirements analysis. Finally, a very special automation function, the automatic emergency call, is examined from the perspective of accident research, thus concluding the overview of current problems of automation in driving.

This session puts together research works that are central to understanding spatial navigation and its neural underpinnings. The talks will introduce the neural basis of spatial navigation in animal and human research along with new insights from studies coupling mobile brain imaging with virtual reality (VR) and real-world tasks as well as works on
geometric representations of space and the impact of aging on navigation abilities. Different navigation strategies such as path integration and landmark-based navigation are supported by neural populations in the medial temporal lobe [1]. Electrophysiology recorded in animals can be used to establish, validate, and refine computational models that are linked with testable behavioral predictions on how space is represented and remembered. Methodological advances such as immersive VR and mobile brain imaging enable the translation of key findings from animal research on the aforementioned brain regions to humans. The use of VR in spatial navigation research allows for flexible manipulation of space in a way that is not possible in physical space, while providing participants with rich, naturalistic stimuli [2,3]. By enabling participants to make use of a natural mode of locomotion (e.g., walking through physical space), mobile brain imaging methods such as mobile EEG [2,5] afford the investigation of how body-based information influences navigation strategies. A better understanding of how humans navigate through space is of great applied value as they inform us about the nature of cognitive decline in older adults [4] and support development of effecient navigation aids [5].

Allocating attention and selecting an action across space and time

What we pay attention to largely determines the contents of our experience. It is therefore not surprising that so much research effort has been expended to determine the rules by which we allocate our attention. Current research on this topic converges on two tenets. The first is that where we allocate our attention next depends on the combined influence of stimulus salience, our goals as well as what we have recently attended (selection history) on a general priority map - with the influence of selection history accounting for a large part of the influence previously attributed to goals. The second is that at any given moment, attention is automatically shifted to the location with the highest priority on that general map. In this talk, I will present work that mitigates both assertions. In the first part, I will claim that theories that have developed around the concept of a priority map have typically ignored insights from research on temporal attention, and therefore do not fully account for how information is dynamically prioritized in space and time. I will present evidence supporting the Priority Accumulation framework (PAF), which provides an account of how temporal attention interacts with the priority map to determine how we allocate our attention in a dynamic world. In the second part, I will claim that the influence of selection history in attentional guidance is often overestimated in current research, because it typically fails to acknowledge the role response selection.

With the publication of Gustav Theodor Fechner’s Vorschule der Ästhetik, the year 1876 marks the beginning of Experimental Aesthetics, which is the second-oldest branch of Experimental Psychology. In his major work, Fechner suggested the study of aesthetics "from below", applying empirical knowledge. To date, the Experimental Aesthetics enjoys a growing number of researches from different fields of Psychology. The present symposia, therefore, comprise contributions investigating a variety of domains including, for example, live performances, materials, and tattoos, Furthermore, questions of the influence of several stimuli’s and individual’s characteristics, including but not
limited to complexity, memory resources, personality differences, and types of stimuli, are addressed.

Humans have to coordinate many different inputs to generate a goal-directed output. Although it seems trivial that we can execute most actions in our everyday life effortlessly - it is not. Several independent processes merge to produce seemingly trivial looking actions. In research on human action control, the processes of binding and retrieval have received increased interest in recent years. In this context, a unified account emerged that strives to specify binding and retrieval in action control (BRAC) over a range of related experimental phenomena and paradigms (Frings et al., 2020). In the first symposium, we take a broad look at research that demonstrates the far reach of action control. The interconnection between learning and action control processes is investigated in two talks regarding performance feedback and associative learning. The following talk is concerned with the role of action control in the auditory domain, specifically in music. The talk after this presents findings on the role of binding and retrieval processes in the context of task switching. The final talk looks at the neural correlates of action control. The contributions presented in both symposia underline the diversity of the research areas investigating human action control and highlight the prominent role of binding and retrieval processes for moving forward in understanding goal-directed human action.

Spatial changes of an object over time are usually perceived as motion. Over the years, various perceptual errors have been identified for dynamic, moving objects. These include, but are not limited to, spatial over- or underestimation of the initial or final position (e.g. Fröhlich Effect, Onset-Repulsion Effect, Representational-Momentum Effect, Offset-Repulsion Effect), spatio-temporal discrepancies between moving and stationary objects (Flash-Lag Effect, Flash-Drag Effect) or the interaction between spatial and temporal properties of a dynamic display (e.g. Kappa Effect, Tau Effect). Given the vast amount of different perceptual errors reported over the decades, many theoretical explanations have been proposed. With the common goal of understanding spatio-temporal perception of dynamic objects, the symposium aims to bring together researchers working on the different perceptual biases to enable cross-paradigm perspectives and discussion. The speakers will present experimental work using different experimental procedures, analytical approaches and theoretical background to show current developments in the field, with the final talk in the session allowing general, talk overarching discussions about human spatio-temporal perception and the possible mechanisms underlying these processes.

Computational psychiatry provides a direct approach for the investigation and development of mechanistic explanations for psychiatric illnesses, through the mathematical description of processes underlying behaviour. Alterations in decision-making, a cognitive process relevant for the successful interaction with the environment, have been reported in disorders including psychosis, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and eating disorders, and have been linked to the development of symptoms. Importantly, we describe a transdiagnostic approach using similar tasks and models to show that specific alterations in mathematical parameters express disease-specific dysfunction and symptom associations. Kelly Diederen (King’s College London) used a novel gamified task in conjunction with computational modelling to demonstrate that decision-confidence and belief-updating can be measured at scale using online assessment, and that these processes are altered in people at increased risk of psychosis. Elisabeth Sterner (LMU/TUM) will show that deficits in punishment learning in early psychosis are linked to increased forgetting and reduced confidence in policy selection using an Active Inference model of the Go/NoGo-Task. Pritha Sen (LMU/TUM) will present first-time imaging data investigating model-based (MB) and model-free (MF) decision making in OCD using hierarchical Bayesian modelling of the Two-Step task. Computational result show differences between patients and controls with links to symptom strength. Margaret Westwater (Oxford/Yale) will report data from both laboratory-based and online assessments of learning under uncertainty, which used computational modelling to
demonstrate that impaired learning in individuals with eating disorders is linked to altered reward sensitivity. Franziska Knolle (TUM/Cambridge) will discuss the effect of dopaminergic treatment on probabilistic reward learning in OCD using Rescorla-Wagner-modelling, showing that exaggerated cingulate reward prediction errors in patients are remediated by dopaminergic modulation. This state-of-the-art symposium demonstrates that computational models of decision making provide mechanistic explanations for dysfunctions underlying three common psychiatric conditions: psychosis, OCD, and eating disorders, and may provide starting points for treatment development.

Behaviours and their underlying cognitive mechanisms come into action not in isolation but in a world that is naturally social and rich in context. Human behaviour is situated within an ongoing and dynamic interplay between cognitive processes and the contexts in which they operate. This symposium sets out to explore the relationship between higher order social factors and the building blocks of human cognition. We will share evidence that demonstrates the sensitivity of behavioural effects to context, with a focus on social context modulations. We will draw on research from task instruction, attentional capture and gaze, collaborative visual search, and joint action control research. Bringing together a variety of researchers across different fields in cognitive psychology, we aim to show the boundary conditions under which social contexts impact on (joint) task performance, reflected in benefits or costs.

The facilitated integration of technology into people's lives highlights the importance of examining its impact on experience and behavior. Experimental approaches help to determine the underlying psychological processes of this impact. This symposium aims to highlight the value of the experimental approach in the applied setting of Engineering Psychology and Human Factors by presenting recent research projects and results in various application fields. The first talk by Nadine Schlicker and Markus Langer presents findings of a study that aimed to compare justice perceptions of decision recipients between human and automated agents and to investigate how these perceptions are affected by explanations. The second talk by Veronica Hoth, Maria Ivanova, and Stefan Brandenburg examines the impact of three different Design Patterns of a cookie banner on participants' ratings of user experience and trust. The third talk by Markus Gödker, Tim Schrills, and Thomas Franke presents an electric vehicle driving simulator experiment that investigated the drivers' mental representation of energy consumption, its development over time, and its link to eco-driving. The fourth talk by Luisa Heinrich and Martin Baumann examines the effects of different interaction strategies on the take-over behavior in automated vehicles. The fifth talk by
Elisabeth Wögerbauer addresses the effect of dissociating viewpoints through the use of camera-monitor systems on time-to-contact estimation. The results of a laboratory experiment in which the horizontal position of the camera was varied will be reported. The sixth talk by Matthias Arend and Verena Nitsch investigates situation awareness during telemanipulation. In the presented experiment they study the situation models of human operators in a situation in which they control a complex robotic system with various end-effectors at a distance.

Demo PreReg: Preregistration in Psychology (Room B21)

Instructor: Lisa Spitzer, Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID)

Website: https://prereg-psych.org/

Preregistering studies is an effective open science technique because it documents which (analytical) decisions were made prior to knowing the data. However, preregistration involves additional effort. ZPID, the Leibniz Institute for Psychology, fosters open science practices in psychology and related disciplines by providing researchers with tools and services at each stage of the scientific process. The Pre-Registration in Psychology platform (https://prereg-psych.org) provides information on preregistration, templates for creating your own preregistration, and the possibility to easily submit and publish to a repository. The platform is introduced in this demonstration.

Requirements: Bring a laptop, if you want to click along but just watching is fine.

 

Demo DataWiz: Research Data Documentation in Psychology Made Easy (Room B22)

Instructor: Katarina Blask, Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID)

Website: https://datawiz2.dev.zpid.de/

In recent years, it became obvious that Open Science practices, like sharing research data in a (re)usable way means additional effort.  In particular, the quality-assured and sustainable provision of research data requires at least a minimum of data documentation. For optimal (re)use, typically three levels of data documentation or metadata are needed: (1) The basic resource description for collection management and resource discovery (Dublin Core); (2) the study-level documentation for research context and methods; and (3) the data-level documentation (codebooks or data dictionaries). 

In order to facilitate the laborious task of data documentation in psychology, a web-based tool - named DataWiz - was developed. The primary goal of the development project funded by the German Research Foundation was to lower the hurdle to do data documentation and to make it an integral part of common research practices in psychology. This demo aims to introduce the documentation module of DataWiz, which allows researchers to create a research data object containing the data and metadata in a non-proprietary format that can be uploaded to research data repositories.

Demo emoTouch Web: A Web-Based System for Continuous Response Studies and Audience Feedback in Live-, Lab- and Online Settings (Room A8)

Instructors: Christoph Louven, Carolin Scholle, Fabian Gehrs, Osnabrück University, Germany

Website: https://www.emoTouch.de

emoTouch Web is a new web-based system for designing, conducting, and evaluating continuous response real-time studies. It is based on web and network technologies and turns any modern smartphone, tablet, laptop and desktop computer into a flexible and reliable research and audience feedback tool in laboratory, online, and live settings. 

The interface of emoTouch studies is completely configurable and may contain an unlimited number of interface elements like one-dimensional sliders, 2D rating areas, category scales, checkboxes, buttons, images and text elements. Any audio or video files can also be integrated and will play from the participant's devices. The interface will dynamically adapt to the various screen sizes and ratios.  

Once a study is designed and started, it can be accessed just by scanning the study's QR Code. Subjects can even participate with the smartphones they carry in their pockets anyway ('Bring-Your-Own-Device', BYOD). This easily enables e.g. audience studies and feedback situations with hundreds of participants at the same time.

For the evaluation of the collected real-time data, emoTouch also contains coordinated tools for the graphical and numerical display and analysis of the data in longitudinal and cross-section.

emoTouch Web can be useful in all disciplines that deal with time-bound phenomena, such as music, theatre, dance, film, commercials, lectures, speeches or sport events. The system was developed at the musicology department of Osnabrück University (Germany) and is available free of charge for scientific purposes at https://www.emotouch.de.

The demonstration shows the possibilities of the system as well as the flow of a typical research process with emoTouch Web.

Requirements: For an active participation in a demo study, you will need a reliable wifi connection, a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. To actively try the system's researcher interface, you will need a laptop.
 

Demo PsychNotebook: Create, share, and export your code projects / teach coding (Room A6)

Instructor: Lars Braun, Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID)

Website: https://www.psychnotebook.org/

PsychNotebook is a platform that offers statistical software such as RStudio and JupyterLab in an online environment. It is a tool to promote open science, in particular transparent and reproducible analyses, with a focus on teaching and collaboration.  

PsychNotebook supports teaching (and learning) code-based analyses by removing the hassle of installing or setting up software. In PsychNotebook you can create projects that contain scripts, data, instructions and more. You can share your projects with your students (copy access) or your collaborators (edit access) so that recipients work with exactly the same files in exactly the same software environment. Problems caused by working on different versions or in different directories are thus eliminated. Likewise projects can be easily archived and then imported again, resulting in the same scripts running in the same software environment as before. In this demonstration, I will introduce the features of PsychNotebook described above.

Requirements: None, maybe laptop, if you want to click along.
 

Demo PsychArchives: The disciplinary Repository for Psychological Science (Room A7)

Instructors: Yi-Hsiu Chen & Lea Gerhards, Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID)

Website: https://psycharchives.org/

This demo will introduce PsychArchives, the disciplinary repository for psychological science. Recent years have seen the gradual but sustained growth in practices collectively known as ‘Open Science’. Part of this ongoing cultural change, which is well underway in Psychology, has been a growing advocacy for transparency and access to research output from across the entire research cycle. PsychArchives, which is maintained by the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID), provides the necessary sustainable infrastructure to achieve these goals. In PsychArchives, a variety of digital research objects, including articles, preprints, research data, code, supplements, preregistrations and tests, are safely stored and made accessible for the long term.

Requirements: None.

The following talk investigates the role of context and episode discriminability for retrieval processes and connects to the event segmentation literature. It is followed by an investigation on the influence of stimulus modality on the segmentation of action sequences. The last two talks specifically test prevalent assumptions in the action control literature and highlight important boundaries to action control mechanisms. The contributions presented in both symposia underline the diversity of the research areas investigating human action control and highlight the prominent role of binding and retrieval processes for moving forward in understanding goal-directed human action.

In different kind of sports, highly time-restricted situations require athletes to early anticipate actions of team members and opponents. Skilled athletes use different sensory modalities to predict upcoming situations. The first talk focuses on multisensory integration in anticipation. For the anticipation of sporting actions, not only sensory perceptions play a role, but also information about the context (e.g. the score, the position of a player on the field, preferences of an opponent). The second talk deals with the question of how different frequencies of head fakes performed by different basketball players affect the individual effectiveness of the head fake. The ability to inhibit an already planned action also plays an important role in sport, for example in order to avoid an injury or because an opponent has provoked an incorrect action through deception. In the third talk, a paradigmatic approach is reported to investigate response inhibition for the basketball jump shot. The fourth talk focuses on the relationship
between response inhibition and expertise. The fifth talk explores the question of how prior mental training in the learning process of a complex action affects gaze behavior and motor performance.

Emotional faces are one of the most prominent sources for social inferences, and many of these inferences come along automatic (i.e., fast, efficient, unintentional, non-consciously). Research in this field has a long tradition in experimental psychology, and many implicit methods were developed to target the processing of social information from faces. Yet, the research so far focused mostly on the evaluative dimension, static features, and lab experiments. Our symposium brings together latest research approaches studying the influence of emotional faces in social cognition, using new (potentially more ecologically valid) approaches, and spanning some of the most recent debated issues. In detail, Emre Gurbuz’ talk focuses on the dynamics of facial features (i.e., emotion, ethnicity) and how these impact evaluative priming effects – a so far often neglected issue. Vanessa Mitschke’s research is targeting reactions to others with a very different, yet also dynamic approach: In a series of studies, she found more efficient response inhibition of facial muscle activation towards disliked targets in a go/nogo task. Janet Wessler investigated the influence of facial information in online-negotiations, showing that facial trustworthiness influences anchoring effects. Using a new, endogenous cueing paradigm, Timea Folyi and colleagues highlight that emotional information can be used in a flexible, goal-relevant manner, however, only, if participants intentionally and explicitly make use of the context-bound meaning of the emotional faces. Michaela Rohr’s talk focuses on the role of physiological facial information in behavioral measures, suggesting that simulation of activated mental content might drive physiological activity.Emotional faces are one of the most prominent sources for social inferences, and many of these inferences come along automatic (i.e., fast, efficient, unintentional, non-consciously).

The first part of the symposium examines basic cognitive functions in the context of traffic. Working memory is an essential requirement for situation awareness and is examined in an experimental approach with regard to the amount of information and the time passed since perceiving the information. The following two presentations focus on influencing factors for another basic perceptual aspect required for save behavior in traffic, namely time-to-collision estimation. The first of these examines the role of auditory and audiovisual cues while the second works on improving these estimations. The second part shifts to a more applied approach: The fourth presentation examines a neuro-VR approach to examine one of the most accident-prone situations in traffic, driving at intersections. The fifth presentation shifts the focus from cars to bicyclists. In line with current trends to increase the frequency of cycling, an experimental study examines which characteristics of roads are relevant for cyclists and why. The last presentation again shifts the focus to another future part of traffic, namely urban air vehicles and their acceptance. Overall, this symposium demonstrates the width of current traffic psychology research.

During the last decades, researchers discovered and investigated a multitude of cross-dimensional S-R compatibility effects between different stimulus and response dimensions, including quantities, valence, and space. A prominent example is the SNARC (spatial-numerical association of response codes) effect, which describes the fact that human participants are faster and more accurate when responding to small numbers with a left rather than right response, and vice versa. Similar compatibility effects occur when physical size (spatial-size association of response code, SSARC) or valence varies as a stimulus feature, and participants respond with spatially distinct responses. Both the etiology and the structural sources of these compatibility effects are a matter of considerable debate. For many cross-dimensional compatibility effects, both local accounts (e.g., the mental number line as an explanation for the SNARC effect) and global accounts, which attempt to explain several phenomena through a general principle (e.g., a theory of magnitude; polarity correspondence) have been proposed. In this symposium, we present new research on different, cross-dimensional compatibility effects. Two contributions deal with the SNARC effect (Miklashevsky, Lindemann, & Fischer; Wühr & Richter), two talks report on the SSARC effect (e.g., Seegelke & Wühr; Wühr, Richter, & Seegelke), and a fifth contribution is concerned with valence-space interactions (Kühne, Nenaschew, & Miklashevsky). Based on these and other results, we evaluate similarities and differences between different compatibility effects, and discuss the plausibility of global accounts for these effects.

Computational modeling provides a powerful tool to study and measure the cognitive underpinnings of behavior. This symposium features recent advances in the application of computational modeling in experimental psychology, showcasing its immense value for learning about cognitive processing across a wide range of applications. Florian Bolenz presents an analysis with the computational framework of metareasoning to model differences between younger and older adults in boundedly rational strategy selection during risky choice. The contribution by Ann-Katrin Hosch features a new evidence-accumulation exemplar model of category learning that allows an examination of how the variance of sampled examplars influences categorization. Chris Donkin presents a project that uses computational modeling to distinguish basic memory processes and strategic response in the DRM paradigm, highlighting the often neglected role of reasoning processes in recognition memory research. Veronika Zilker integrates attentional processes in the computational modeling of decision making with cumulative prospect theory; specifically, she examines whether attentional processes might be key drivers of the description-experience gap in risky choice. In the contribution by David Izydorczyk, a blending model of exemplar-based and rule-based judgment is used to model the cognitive processes underlying quantitative judgment of complex stimuli. Benjamin Kowialiewski presents a connectionist model of visuospatial working memory to study the impact of visuospatial proximity on memory performance. The symposium will bring together researchers from various research groups in Europe, reflecting the increasing popularity of cognitive modeling in experimental psychology.

Room: Audimax
Verbundprojekte der verschiedenen DFG-Formate (FOR, GRK, SPP, SFB) werden in der Psychologie in Relation zu anderen Fächern eher selten beantragt. Stattdessen gibt es eine Vielzahl von Sachbeihilfen (Einzelanträgen). Diese Imbalance soll Gegenstand einer Podiumsdiskussion sein, bei der Forscher:innen, die an den entsprechenden Formaten beteiligt sind, Erfahrungen und Tipps austauschen, und dies mit dem zuständigen Programmdirektor der DFG diskutieren. Die Veranstaltung ist zudem interaktiv gedacht. Sie richtet sich dezidiert auch an junge Kolleg:innen, die vielleicht in der Zukunft an solchen Verbundprojekten mitwirken wollen.

The section general psychology of the German Psychological Society (DGPs) invites their members for their yearly meeting. In German. For DGPs members only.
21:00 - 23:00
Bitburger Wirtshaus
All graduate students, post-docs, and assistant professors are invited to join the meeting of young scientists for a get-together, discussions, and information exchange. Simultaneously, the Preregistration Fuck Up Night, based on the Preregistration Fuck-Up Night at last years DGPs Congress, will take place, for which we invite everyone to share their experiences with preregistration and discuss the mistakes that we would not make a second time and that we would like to spare others, in a relaxed and confidential atmosphere.
