More of me: Self-prioritization of numeric stimuli. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-02 Johannes Keil,Ayla Barutchu,Clea Desebrock,Charles Spence
People process stimuli that have been arbitrarily associated with the self versus with a stranger preferentially, but congruence effects can modulate self-prioritization, as when the self is paired with, for example, symmetrical versus asymmetrical stimuli. In two experiments, we examined the interaction of self-prioritization with number magnitude when participants associated the self or a stranger

The best fitting of three contemporary observer models reveals how participants' strategy influences the window of subjective synchrony. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-02 Kielan Yarrow,Joshua A Solomon,Derek H Arnold,Warrick Roseboom
When experimenters vary the timing between two intersensory events, and participants judge their simultaneity, an inverse-U-shaped psychometric function is obtained. Typically, this simultaneity function is first fitted with a model for each participant separately, before best-fitting parameters are utilized (e.g., compared across conditions) in the second stage of a two-step inferential procedure

Revealing object-based cognitive control in a moving object paradigm. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Jackson S Colvett,Blaire J Weidler,Julie M Bugg
Object-based attention and flexible adjustments of cognitive control based on contextual cues signaling the likelihood of distraction are well documented. However, no prior research has conclusively demonstrated that people flexibly adjust cognitive control to minimize distraction based on learned associations between task-irrelevant objects and distraction likelihood (i.e., object-based cognitive

Depersonalization affects self-prioritization of bodily, but not abstract self-related information. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Mateusz Woźniak,Luke McEllin,Jakob Hohwy,Anna Ciaunica
Depersonalization is a common and distressing experience characterized by a feeling of estrangement from one's self, body, and the world. In order to examine the relationship between depersonalization and selfhood we conducted an experimental study comparing processing of three types of self-related information between nonclinical groups of people experiencing high and low levels of depersonalization

The specificity of feature-based attentional guidance is equivalent under single- and dual-target search. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Ryan S Williams,Susanne Ferber,Jay Pratt
Individuals actively maintain attentional templates to prioritize target-matching inputs. While previous works have established that multiple templates can be held simultaneously, current understanding is limited with respect to the representational quality of such templates. We thus investigated: (a) whether the maintenance of two templates is limited to broad, coarse-grained representations, and

Are there good days and bad days for hearing? Quantifying day-to-day intraindividual speech perception variability in older and younger adults. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Inka Kuhlmann,Giulia Angonese,Christiane Thiel,Birger Kollmeier,Andrea Hildebrandt
Moment-to-moment variations in hearing and speech perception have long been observed. Depending on the researcher's theoretical position, the observed fluctuations have been attributed to measurement error or to internal, nonsensory factors such as fluctuations in attention. While cognitive performance has been shown to fluctuate from day to day over longer time, such fluctuations have not been quantified

Exploring the response code in a compatibility effect between physical size and left/right responses: The hand is more important than location. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Christian Seegelke,Melanie Richter,Tobias Heed,Peter Wühr
The spatial-size association of response codes (SSARC) effect refers to the finding of better performance with the left hand to small stimuli and with the right hand to large stimuli, as compared to the reverse mapping. In the present study, we investigated which response coding is responsible for the emergence of the SSARC effect. We observed a SSARC effect only with response selection between hands

Contextual effects on duration perception are modality-specific. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Nahal Binur,Bat-Sheva Hadad
The perception of magnitude, crucial for a mental representation of the physical world, is often subject to significant biases. Many of these biases are similar across sensory modalities, implying a generalized perception of magnitude. At the same time, some physical magnitudes might have a dedicated modality-specific calibration mechanism to enhance perceptual sensitivity. We examined this question

Emotional face expressions and group membership: Does affective mismatch induce conflict? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Dirk Wentura,Emre Gurbuz,Andrea Paulus,Michaela Rohr
When asked to judge or react to a facial emotional display of a person, people do not only take the emotion into account, but also other socially important features of the face, such as, for example, ethnicity (Kozlik & Fischer, 2020; Paulus & Wentura, 2014). Importantly, the emotion-related and nonemotion-related features are seemingly not (or not always) processed in a simple, additive manner, but

When "looking at nothing" imparts something: Retrospective gaze cues flexibly direct prioritization in visual working memory. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Yingchao Zhang,Shujuan Ye,Wei Chen,Xiaowei Ding
Previous research has shown that retrospective gaze cues direct attention to internally maintained representations in visual working memory (vWM). Here, we aimed to differentiate the dual nature of gaze and accordingly proposed two hypotheses regarding the gaze-induced prioritization in vWM. The directional cueing hypothesis claims a constant attentional shifting to the gazed-at direction. By contrast

Are upside-down faces perceived as "less human"? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-10-30 Adam Eggleston,Richard Cook,Harriet Over
According to perceptual dehumanization theory (PDT), faces are only perceived as "truly human" when processed in a configural fashion. Consistent with this theory, previous research indicates that when faces are inverted, a manipulation hypothesized to disrupt configural processing, the individuals depicted are attributed fewer uniquely human qualities. In a seminal paper, Hugenberg et al. (2016) reported

Parafoveal processing in bilingual readers: Semantic access within but not across languages. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-10-26 Liv J Hoversten,Clara D Martin
Prior research has investigated the quality of information a reader can extract from upcoming parafoveal words. However, very few studies have considered parafoveal processing in bilingual readers, who may differ from monolinguals due to slower lexical access and susceptibility to cross-language activation. This eye-tracking experiment, therefore, investigated how bilingual readers process parafoveal

Increased display complexity reveals effects of salience in action control. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-10-01 Philip Schmalbrock,Heinrich R Liesefeld,Christian Frings
In action-control research, typically, stimulus sparse displays are used. This might be one reason why previous theorizing focuses on the (top-down) demands of response selection (e.g., what key to press), while often ignoring (bottom-up) demands of stimulus selection (e.g., what stimulus to attend). However, complex perceptual situations may pose selection demands that make additional, response-unrelated

Social norm learning alters feature-based visual attention: Evidence from steady-state visual evoked potentials. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-09-28 Markus Germar,Thorsten Albrecht,Andreas Mojzisch
Dating back to the seminal studies of Sherif (1935), there is robust evidence that social norm learning is able to shape perceptual decision making in a persistent manner. But what mechanisms underlie this effect? Here, we propose the new attentional alignment hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, norm learning alters feature-based visual attention. In particular, we hypothesize that norm learning

Vertical attention bias for tops of objects and bottoms of scenes. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-08-17 Matthew D Langley,Michael K McBeath
Past research demonstrated a top-salience bias in object identification, with random shapes appearing more similar when they share the same top versus the same bottom. This is consistent with tops of natural objects and lifeforms tending to be more informative locations of intentionality and functionality, leading observers to favor attending to tops. However, this bias may also reflect a generic downward

You read my mind: Generating and minimizing intention uncertainty under different social contexts in a two-player online game. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-08-10 Helen L Ma,Jennifer K Bertrand,Craig S Chapman,Dana A Hayward
We investigate an ecologically pertinent form of social uncertainty regarding the ability to read another's intentions. We use classic measures (response time, accuracy) and dynamic measures (mouse trajectories) to investigate how people generate or minimize uncertainty regarding their own intentions under different social contexts, and how uncertainty regarding other's intentions affects decision

An investigation of inattentional blindness using gaze and frequency tagging. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-08-10 Brendan T Hutchinson,Natalie Wilkinson,Gemma Robertson,Alycia Budd,Michael E R Nicholls,Oren Griffiths
Inattentional blindness (IB) occurs when a salient object presented in plain sight goes unnoticed when its appearance is unexpected. Across two experiments, participants completed a classic dynamic IB task while eye movements and steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) responses were continually recorded. This allowed us to measure the modulation of gaze and brain-based indices of attention during

The effect of musical training and language background on vocal imitation of pitch in speech and song. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-08-10 Chihiro Honda,Tim A Pruitt,Emma B Greenspon,Fang Liu,Peter Q Pfordresher
Vocal imitation plays a critical function in the development and use of both language and music. Previous studies have reported more accurate imitation for sung pitch than spoken pitch, which might be attributed to the structural differences in acoustic signals and/or the distinct mental representations of pitch patterns across speech and music. The current study investigates the interaction between

Completeness out of incompleteness: Inferences from regularities in imperfect information ensembles. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-20 Jingyin Zhu,Haokui Xu,Bohao Shi,Yilong Lu,Hui Chen,Mowei Shen,Jifan Zhou
Handling imperfect information problems is fundamental to perception, learning, and decision-making. Ensemble perception may partially overcome imperfect information by providing global clues. However, if not all cluster elements are readily accessible, the observations required for computing statistics are incomplete. In this case, these elements' internal correlations (i.e., regularity) could serve

Competition and reward structures nearly eliminate time-on-task performance decrements: Implications for theories of vigilance and mental effort. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-20 Matthew K Robison,Brian Nguyen
Across four experiments, we manipulated features of a simple reaction time (RT) task to examine the effects of such features on sustained attention. In Experiment 1, we created simple RT "game" that pitted participants against two computerized avatars. In one condition, participants were awarded points, while the other condition did not receive points. Performance in the two conditions did not differ

What good is goodness? The effects of reference points on discrimination and categorization of shapes. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-06 Eline Van Geert,Johan Wagemans
Earlier research reported a category boundary effect on perception: differences between stimuli belonging to the same category are perceived as smaller than differences between stimuli belonging to different categories even when the physical dissimilarity between the stimuli in the pairs is the same. In this article, we propose that the existence of reference points (i.e., exemplars that serve as a

The influence of arm posture on the Uznadze haptic aftereffect. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-06 Francesca Frisco,Olga Daneyko,Angelo Maravita,Daniele Zavagno
The role of arm posture in the Uznadze haptic aftereffect is investigated: two identical test stimuli (i.e., spheres, TS) clenched simultaneously appear haptically different in size after hands have been adapted to two spheres (adapting stimuli, AS) differing in size: the hand adapted to a small AS feels TS bigger than the hand adapted to a big AS. In two experiments, participants evaluated the haptic

The congruency sequence effect of the Simon task in a cross-modality context. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-06 Yoon Seo Lee,Yang Seok Cho
One of the prime measures of cognitive control is the congruency sequence effect (CSE), which refers to a reduced congruency effect following incongruent trials compared to congruent trials. Some researchers have argued that the conflict resolution process exerts its effect at the level of whole task-set, whereas others have argued that the control process applies to parts of a task-set. The present

When searching helps you see: Bridging the gap between incidental and intentional change detection. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-29 Madison Lee,Christopher Brett Jaeger,Daniel Levin
Participants in incidental change detection studies often miss large changes to visually salient or conceptually relevant objects such as actor substitutions across video cuts, but there are competing explanations of why participants fail to detect these changes. According to an integrative processing account, object-based attention typically induces integrated representation and comparison processes

Habituation (of attentional capture) is not what you think it is. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-19 Massimo Turatto
Habituation represents a well-established form of learning in various neuroscience domains. However, cognitive psychologists working in the field of visual attention have largely overlooked this phenomenon. In this regard, I would like to argue that the reduction in attentional capture observed with repetitive salient distractors, and specifically abrupt visual onsets, could be attributed to habituation

Feature intertrial priming biases attentional priority: Evidence from the capture-probe paradigm. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-19 Benedikt Emanuel Wirth,Aniruddha Ramgir,Dominique Lamy
Prior experience has a strong impact on search performance, and most recent models of attention incorporate selection history as an important source of attentional guidance. Here, we focused on feature intertrial priming, a robust effect showing that responses to a singleton target are considerably faster when its unique feature repeats versus changes across successive trials. Previous studies showed

Task sets define boundaries of learned cognitive flexibility in list-wide proportion switch manipulations. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-15 Audrey Siqi-Liu,Tobias Egner
Different contexts in daily life often require varying levels of cognitive flexibility. Previous research has shown that people adapt their level of flexibility to match changing contextual demands for task switching in cued-switching paradigms that vary the proportion of switch trials within lists of trials. Specifically, the behavioral costs of switching as opposed to repeating tasks scale inversely

Time expectancies in dual tasking: Evidence for proactive resource sharing? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-15 Moritz Schaaf,Robert Wirth,Wilfried Kunde
The present study explored whether dual-task performance is affected by deviations from the expected time point of a secondary task. In two psychological refractory period experiments, participants responded to two tasks, separated by either a short or long delay. In contrast to traditional dual-tasking studies, however, the identity of Task 1 probabilistically predicted the delay after which Task

Modulation of response activation leads to biases in perceptuomotor decision making. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-12 Joseph X Manzone,Timothy N Welsh
Humans are constantly enacting motor responses based on perceptual judgments or decisions. Recent work suggests that accumulating evidence for a decision and planning the action to enact the decision are coupled. Further, decision commitment may occur when the action reaches its motor threshold. Across several experiments, this coupled perception-action account of perceptuomotor decision making was

Complex background information slows down parallel search efficiency by reducing the strength of interitem interactions. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Andrea Yaoyun Cui,Alejandro Lleras,Gavin Jun Peng Ng,Simona Buetti
In the laboratory, visual search is often studied using uniform backgrounds. This contrasts with search in daily life, where potential search items appear against more complex backgrounds. In the present study, we examined the effects of background complexity on a parallel visual search under conditions where objects are easily segregated from the background. Target-distractor similarity was sufficiently

Binding and retrieval of temporal action features: Probing the precision level of feature representations in action planning. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Johanna Bogon,Katrin Köllnberger,Roland Thomaschke,Roland Pfister
The duration of action can be critical to accomplishing specific goals. Empirical findings and theoretical considerations suggest that different stages of action planning and execution require different specification levels of action features. It is assumed that at first only crude categorical features are integrated into action plans, which are then specified by subsequent sensorimotor processes during

Is musical expertise associated with self-reported foreign-language ability? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 E Glenn Schellenberg,Ana Isabel Correia,César F Lima
Many claims have been made about links between musical expertise and language ability. Rhythm ability, in particular, has been shown to predict phonological, grammatical, and second-language (L2) abilities, whereas music training often predicts reading and speech-perception skills. Here, we asked whether musical expertise-musical ability and/or music training-relates to L2 (English) abilities of Portuguese

Examining constraints on embodiment using the Anne Boleyn illusion. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Elisabetta Ambron,Jared Medina
Using a mirror box, the concurrent stroking of the lateral side of the fifth finger behind the mirror along with stroking the empty space next to the mirror-reflected hand's fifth finger results in a strong sense of having a sixth finger-the Anne Boleyn illusion. We used this illusion to understand what constraints illusory embodiment. In Experiment 1, we manipulated the anatomical constraints, posture

Assessing mechanisms behind crossmodal associations between visual textures and temperature concepts. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Francisco Barbosa Escobar,Carlos Velasco,Derek V Byrne,Qian Janice Wang
In the last decades, there has been a growing interest in crossmodal correspondences, including those involving temperature. However, only a few studies have explicitly examined the underlying mechanisms behind temperature-related correspondences. Here, we investigated the relative roles of an underlying affective mechanism and a semantic path (i.e., regarding the semantic knowledge related to a single

Incidental recognition reveals attentional tradeoffs shaped by categorical similarity. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Mark Lavelle,Roy Luria,Trafton Drew
Search efficiency suffers when observers look for multiple targets or a single imprecisely defined target. These conditions prevent a narrow target template, resulting in improved delayed distractor recognition. In our first experiment with hybrid visual and memory search, we investigated the interaction of target variety and target number on search efficiency. Results supported the hypothesis that

Category-specific learning of color, orientation, and position regularities guide visual search. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Ariel M Kershner,Andrew Hollingworth
In six experiments, we examined how object categories structure the learning of environmental regularities to guide visual search. Participants searched for pictures of exemplars from a set of real-world categories in a repeated search task modeled on the contextual cuing literature. Each trial began with a category label cue, followed by a search array of natural object photographs, with one target

Error accumulation when steering toward curves. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Courtney M Goodridge,Jac Billington,Gustav Markkula,Richard M Wilkie
To steer a vehicle, humans must process incoming signals that provide information about their movement through the world. These signals are used to inform motor control responses that are appropriately timed and of the correct magnitude. However, the perceptual mechanisms determining how drivers process visual information remain unclear. Previous research has demonstrated that when steering toward

Redefining the decisional components of motor responses: Evidence from lexical and object decision tasks. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Michele Scaltritti,Francesca Giacomoni,Remo Job,Simone Sulpizio
Models of decision making focusing on two-alternative choices have classically described motor-response execution as a nondecisional stage that serially follows the termination of decision processes. Recent evidence, however, points toward a more continuous transition between decision and motor processes. We investigated this transition in two lexical decisions and one object decision task. By recording

Distractor's salience does not determine feature suppression: A commentary on Wang and Theeuwes (2020). Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Aniruddha Ramgir,Dominique Lamy
There is ongoing debate as to whether distraction by salient irrelevant objects can be avoided by suppressing their salient features. Lamy suggested that a central reason for this stalemate is methodological: researchers often base their conclusions on whether the presence of the salient distractor yields net interference (interpreted as capture) or benefit (interpreted as suppression), instead of

Preparing for simultaneous action and inaction: Temporal dynamics and target levels of inhibitory control. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-25 Jens Kürten,Tim Raettig,Julian Gutzeit,Lynn Huestegge
When a single action is required, along with the simultaneous inhibition of another action, this typically results in frequent false-positive executions of the latter (inhibition failures). The absence of inhibitory demands in dual-action trials can render performance less error-prone (and sometimes faster) than in single-action trials. In the present study, we investigated the temporal dynamics of

Does order matter? Harmonic priming effects for scrambled tonal chord sequences. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-25 David R W Sears,Jonathan E Verbeten,Hannah M Percival
This study examines whether scrambling the order of events in a tonal chord sequence inhibits the speed and accuracy of processing in two behavioral harmonic priming experiments. Sixteen 9-chord sequences were adapted from Bach's chorales that either remained unchanged (thereby reflecting high temporal coherence) or were scrambled to produce increasingly incoherent sequences (i.e., medium or low).

The causal role of vision in the development of spatial coordinates: Evidence from visually impaired children. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-25 Alice Bollini,Elena Cocchi,Valentina Salvagno,Monica Gori
Many findings suggest that visual deprivation in early life negatively affects the development of spatial competence and that sighted and visually impaired individuals use different strategies to encode spatial positions. This study aims to assess the role of vision in developing spatial coordinates by running three studies in a sample of children and adolescents with and without visual impairments

May the force be against you: Better visual sensitivity to speed changes opposite to gravity. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-25 Hong B Nguyen,Benjamin van Buren
Beyond seemingly lower-level features such as color and motion, visual perception also recovers properties more commonly associated with higher-level thought, as when an upwardly accelerating object is seen not just as moving, but moreover as self-propelled, and resisting the force of gravity. Given past research demonstrating the prioritization of living things in attention and memory, here we hypothesized

Learned spatial suppression is not always proactive. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-18 Seah Chang,Blaire Dube,Julie D Golomb,Andrew B Leber
Learning to ignore distractors is critical for navigating the visual world. Research has suggested that a location frequently containing a salient distractor can be suppressed. How does such suppression work? Previous studies provided evidence for proactive suppression, but methodological limitations preclude firm conclusions. We sought to overcome these limitations with a new search-probe paradigm

Cognitive control beyond single-item tasks: Insights from pupillometry, gaze, and behavioral measures. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-18 Laoura Ziaka,Athanassios Protopapas
Cognitive control has been typically examined using single-item tasks. This has implications for the generalizability of theories of control implementation. Previous studies have revealed that different control demands are posed by tasks depending on whether they present stimuli individually (i.e., single-item) or simultaneously in array format (i.e., multi-item). In the present study, we tracked within-task

Retrospective cueing mediates flexible conscious access to past spoken words. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-18 Axel Garnier-Allain,Daniel Pressnitzer,Claire Sergent
Can we become aware of auditory stimuli retrospectively, even if they initially failed to reach awareness? Here, we tested whether spatial cueing of attention after a word had been played could trigger retrospective conscious access. Two sound streams were presented dichotically. One stream was attended for a primary task of speeded semantic categorization. The other stream included occasional target

Intentional binding: Merely a procedural confound? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-11 Julian Gutzeit,Lisa Weller,Jens Kürten,Lynn Huestegge
Sense of agency (SoA) is the feeling of having control over one's actions and their outcomes. Previous research claimed that SoA is reflected in "intentional binding" effects, that is, the subjective compression of time between a voluntary action and an intended outcome. Conventional paradigms, however, typically lack an isolated manipulation of different degrees of agency (or intentionality), as the

Readers use word length information to determine word order. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-11 Joshua Snell,Jonathan Mirault,Jan Theeuwes,Jonathan Grainger
It is assumed by the OB1-reader model that activated words are flexibly associated with spatial locations. Supporting this notion, recent studies show that readers can confuse the order of words. As word position coding is assumed to rely, among other things, on low-level visual cues, OB1 predicts that it must be harder to determine the order of words when these are of equal length, and consequently

Dynamic interactions between memory and viewing behaviors: Insights from dyadic modeling of eye movements. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-11 Heather D Lucas,Ana M Daugherty,Edward McAuley,Arthur F Kramer,Neal J Cohen
Humans use eye movements to build visual memories. We investigated how the contributions of specific viewing behaviors to memory formation evolve over individual study epochs. We used dyadic modeling to explain performance on a spatial reconstruction task based on interactions among two gaze measures: (a) the entropy of the scanpath and (b) the frequency of item-to-item gaze transitions. To measure

Your ears don't change what your eyes like: People can independently report the pleasure of music and images. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-04 Jessica Frame,Maria Gugliano,Elena Bai,Aenne Brielmann,Amy M Belfi
Observers can make independent aesthetic judgments of at least two images presented briefly and simultaneously. However, it is unknown whether this is the case for two stimuli of different sensory modalities. Here, we investigated whether individuals can judge auditory and visual stimuli independently, and whether stimulus duration influences such judgments. Participants (N = 120, across two experiments

Probabilistic visual attentional guidance triggers "feature avoidance" response errors. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-04 William Narhi-Martinez,Jiageng Chen,Julie D Golomb
Spatial attention affects not only where we look, but also what we perceive and remember in attended and unattended locations. Previous work has shown that manipulating attention via top-down cues or bottom-up capture leads to characteristic patterns of feature errors. Here we investigated whether experience-driven attentional guidance-and probabilistic attentional guidance more generally-leads to

Spontaneous recovery in an untrained arm as an assay of interlimb transfer of motor learning. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 Adarsh Kumar,Pratik K Mutha
Motor skills learned with one effector are known to transfer to an untrained effector. However, which of the many mechanisms that drive learning principally predict interlimb transfer, is less clear. Recent studies of motor adaptation suggest that transfer is tied to the state of an implicit mechanism that evolves gradually during learning. Interestingly, this "slow" process also promotes spontaneous

Lexical processing across the visual field. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 Aaron Veldre,Erik D Reichle,Lili Yu,Sally Andrews
This article reports six experiments in which participants made speeded binary decisions about letter strings that were displayed for 100 versus 300 ms at different retinal eccentricities in the left versus right visual field to examine how these variables and task demands influence word-identification accuracy and latency. Across the experiments, lexical-processing performance decreased with eccentricity

Out of sight, out of mind: Foveal processing is necessary for semantic integration of words into sentence context. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 Sara Milligan,Brian Nestor,Martín Antúnez,Elizabeth R Schotter
Word recognition begins before a reader looks directly at a word, as demonstrated by the parafoveal preview benefit and word skipping. Both low-level form and high-level semantic features can be accessed in parafoveal vision and used to promote reading efficiency. However, words are not recognized in isolation during reading; once a semantic representation is retrieved, it must be integrated with the

Perception of higher-order affordances for kicking in soccer. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 Alper Tunga Peker,Veysel Böge,George S Bailey,Jeffrey B Wagman,Thomas A Stoffregen
We investigated the perception of higher-order interpersonal affordances for kicking that emerged from lower-order personal and interpersonal affordances in the context of soccer. Youth soccer players reported the minimum gap width between two confederates through which they could kick a ball. In Experiment 1, we independently manipulated the egocentric distance of gaps from participants, and the nominal

Asymmetric learning of dynamic spatial regularities in visual search: Robust facilitation of predictable target locations, fragile suppression of distractor locations. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 Hao Yu,Fredrik Allenmark,Hermann J Müller,Zhuanghua Shi
Static statistical regularities in the placement of targets and salient distractors within the search display can be learned and used to optimize attentional guidance. Whether statistical learning also extends to dynamic regularities governing the placement of targets and distractors on successive trials remains controversial. Here, we applied the same dynamic cross-trial regularity-one-step shift

Multisensory perception and decision-making with a new sensory skill. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 James Negen,Laura-Ashleigh Bird,Heather Slater,Lore Thaler,Marko Nardini
It is clear that people can learn a new sensory skill-a new way of mapping sensory inputs onto world states. It remains unclear how flexibly a new sensory skill can become embedded in multisensory perception and decision-making. To address this, we trained typically sighted participants (N = 12) to use a new echo-like auditory cue to distance in a virtual world, together with a noisy visual cue. Using

Facial dominance augments perceived proximity: Evidence from a visual illusion. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 Wei Fang,Cristina I Galusca,Zhe Wang,Yu-Hao P Sun,Olivier Pascalis,Naiqi G Xiao
Dominance is a major organizing principle of human societies that impacts a wide range of human behaviors, from gaze-following to voting choices. Here, we examined how dominance modulates a fundamental perceptual ability: the perception of proximity. We used the "Fat Face" illusion, a novel paradigm that measures perceived proximity implicitly. The illusion depicts a phenomenon that occurs when two

Is the approximate number system capacity limited? Extended display duration does not increase the limits of linear number estimation. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-04-13 Frank H Durgin,Makayla Portley
The approximate number system (ANS) is widely regarded as handling numbers beyond the subitizing range. However, a review of a variety of historical data suggests there is a sharp break in the estimation of visuospatial number at about 20 items. Estimates below 20 tend to be unbiased. Those above 20 tend to show underestimation that can be well-fit by a power function with an exponent less than one

Tracking talker-specific cues to lexical stress: Evidence from perceptual learning. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2023-04-01 Giulio G A Severijnen,Giuseppe Di Dona,Hans Rutger Bosker,James M McQueen
When recognizing spoken words, listeners are confronted by variability in the speech signal caused by talker differences. Previous research has focused on segmental talker variability; less is known about how suprasegmental variability is handled. Here we investigated the use of perceptual learning to deal with between-talker differences in lexical stress. Two groups of participants heard Dutch minimal
