Transfer of congruency effects between Stroop and multiplication tasks: Evidence that retrieval of multiplication facts requires inhibitory control (2025)
Journal Article
Eaves, J., Gilmore, C., Hochman, S., & Cragg, L. (2025). Transfer of congruency effects between Stroop and multiplication tasks: Evidence that retrieval of multiplication facts requires inhibitory control. Cognition, 256, Article 106054. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2024.106054

Inhibitory control is classically considered a domain-general process, yet recent findings suggest it may operate in context-specific ways. This has important implications for theories in other cognitive domains, such as mathematics, in which inhibit...
