演講大綱：Understanding the organization of mental processes in classical cognitive tasks, such as visual and memory search, is critical for refining theoretical models of cognition. While factorial methods, particularly Systems Factorial Technology (SFT), have provided a powerful framework for distinguishing between serial and parallel processing, their application has been limited by methodological constraints in both theoretical development and the scale of research studies. This study aims to improve the diagnostic validity of factorial methods in investigating cognitive process organization by employing higher-order factorial designs. By extending factorial contrast tests, including Mean Interaction Contrast (MIC) and Survivor Interaction Contrast (SIC), to multi-process cognitive networks, we address previous limitations in experimental designs that restricted their effectiveness in real-world cognitive tasks. Through the systematic manipulation of factorial interactions, we demonstrate how higher-level factorial designs refine the identification of processing architectures and reduce ambiguities in distinguishing mental network structures. This research advances factorial methodologies, expanding their applicability to more complex cognitive systems and improving their utility in experimental psychology.
