Learning emotional dialects: A British population study of cross-cultural communication (2023)
Journal Article
Tsikandilakis, M., Bali, P., Lanfranco, R. C., Kausel, L., Yu, Z., Boncompte, G., …Derrfuss, J. (2023). Learning emotional dialects: A British population study of cross-cultural communication. Perception, 52(11-12), 812-843. https://doi.org/10.1177/03010066231204180

The aim of the current research was to explore whether we can improve the recognition of cross-cultural freely-expressed emotional faces in British participants. We tested several methods for improving the recognition of freely-expressed emotional fa... Read More about Learning emotional dialects: A British population study of cross-cultural communication.

Unbiased post-error slowing in interference tasks: A confound and a simple solution (2021)
Journal Article
Derrfuss, J., Danielmeier, C., Klein, T. A., Fischer, A. G., & Ullsperger, M. (2022). Unbiased post-error slowing in interference tasks: A confound and a simple solution. Behavior Research Methods, 54(3), 1416-1427. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-021-01673-8

We typically slow down after committing an error, an effect termed post-error slowing (PES). Traditionally, PES has been calculated by subtracting post-correct from post-error RTs. Dutilh et al. (Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 56(3), 208-216, 20... Read More about Unbiased post-error slowing in interference tasks: A confound and a simple solution.

Individual conscious and unconscious perception of emotion: Theory, methodology and applications (2021)
Journal Article
Tsikandilakis, M., Bali, P., Yu, Z., Madan, C., Derrfuss, J., Chapman, P., & Groeger, J. (2021). Individual conscious and unconscious perception of emotion: Theory, methodology and applications. Consciousness and Cognition, 94, Article 103172. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2021.103172

In this manuscript we review a seminal debate related to subliminality and concerning the relationship of consciousness, unconsciousness, and perception. We present the methodological implementations that contemporary psychology introduced to explore...

Neural and behavioral traces of error awareness (2020)
Journal Article
Kirschner, H., Humann, J., Derrfuss, J., Danielmeier, C., & Ullsperger, M. (2021). Neural and behavioral traces of error awareness. Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Neuroscience, 21, 573-591. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13415-020-00838-w

Monitoring for errors and behavioral adjustments after errors are essential for daily life. A question that has not been addressed systematically yet, is whether consciously perceived errors lead to different behavioral adjustments compared to unperc...

Distractor-resistant short-term memory is supported by transient changes in neural stimulus representations (2017)
Journal Article
Derrfuss, J., Ekman, M., Hanke, M., Tittgemeyer, M., & Fiebach, C. J. (2017). Distractor-resistant short-term memory is supported by transient changes in neural stimulus representations. Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 29(9), https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a_01141

Goal-directed behavior in a complex world requires the maintenance of goal-relevant information despite multiple sources of distraction. However, the brain mechanisms underlying distractor-resistant working or short-term memory (STM) are not fully un...
