The quest for psychological symmetry through figural goodness, randomness, and complexity: A selective review i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2024-02-15 Daniel Fitousi, Daniel Algom
Of the four interrelated concepts in the title, only symmetry has an exact mathematical definition. In mathematical development, symmetry is a graded variable—in marked contrast with the popular binary conception of symmetry in and out of the laboratory (i.e. an object is either symmetrical or nonsymmetrical). Because the notion does not have a direct graded perceptual counterpart (experimental participants

Ewald Hering's (1879) “On Muscle Sounds of the Eye”: A translation and commentary i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2024-02-14 Hans Strasburger, Nicholas J. Wade
Investigations of eye movements were transformed by Ewald Hering in 1879. He developed a novel method for recording them using the muscular sounds attendant on their rapid movements. Brief “clapping” sounds could be heard with the aid of a device like a stethoscope placed on the eyelid and they occurred when afterimages or “floaters” were seen to move. Hering applied the technique to record eye movements

Combining and segmenting geometric shapes into parts depending on symmetry type: Evidence from children and adults i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2024-01-24 Līga Zariņa, Jurģis Šķilters, Solvita Umbraško, Santa Bartušēvica
Symmetry is an important geometric feature that affects object segmentation into parts, though De Winter and Wagemans note that partly occluded objects can still be identified by the remaining visible parts. In two sets of experiments with children ( n = 31, age 7–11, M = 8.8, SD = 1.4) and adults ( n = 19, age 17–57, M = 30.4, SD = 12.6), we used 13 basic geometric figures distinguished by symmetry

Magic for the mind's eye: A promising avenue for more universal design in the art of magic i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2024-01-08 Vebjørn Ekroll, Lara Wünsch, Rob van Lier
In the art of conjuring, as well as in cognitive science, possibilities for designing magic tricks that are suitable for people who are blind or visually impaired have only rarely been considered. In this article, we argue that many magic tricks which are normally presented in a visual way, are not inherently based on visual processes, but instead on systematic illusions and limitations in visual imagery

No relationships between frequencies of mind-wandering and perceptual rivalry. i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2023-11-27 Souta Hidaka,Miyu Takeshima,Toshikazu Kawagoe
Our minds frequently wander from a task at hand. This mind-wandering reflects fluctuations in our cognitive states. The phenomenon of perceptual rivalry, in which one of the mutually exclusive percepts automatically switches to an ambiguous sensory input, is also known as fluctuations in our perceptual states. There may be possible relationships between the mind-wandering and perceptual rivalry, given

Age-related differences in temporal binding and the influence of action body parts. i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2023-10-30 Yoshitaka Fujii,Naoki Kuroda,Ryo Teraoka,Shinya Harada,Wataru Teramoto
If voluntary action is followed by an effect with a short time delay, the time interval between action and effect is often perceived to be shorter than it actually is. This perceptual time compression is termed intentional binding or temporal binding. We investigated age-related changes in adulthood considering temporal binding and its dependence on action body parts (i.e., hand vs. foot). This experiment

Six ways of failing to see (and why the differences matter). i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2023-09-27 Makaela Nartker,Chaz Firestone,Howard Egeth,Ian Phillips
Sometimes we look but fail to see: our car keys on a cluttered desk, a repeated word in a carefully proofread email, or a motorcycle at an intersection. Wolfe and colleagues present a unifying, mechanistic framework for understanding these "Looked But Failed to See" errors, explaining how such misses arise from natural constraints on human visual processing. Here, we offer a conceptual taxonomy of

The zooming-speed illusion: A meta illusion? i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2023-08-31 Hiroshi Ashida,Akiyoshi Kitaoka
A movie taken from the front window of a running train, with zooming in and out, has been popularly acknowledged as a perceptual illusion such that the train motion is perceived as much slower when zoomed in. This is, however, not a real illusion because the image speed varies as a function of the focal length of the lens. This could be a meta-illusion, that is, an illusory sense of illusion, that

The Influences of gradient color on the weight perception and stability perception: A preliminary study. i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2023-08-30 Xing Xu,Jieying Zhang,Qi Zhu,Tiansheng Xia
Gradient colors are widely used in product design. The variation of gradient colors muting a color as a series of steps from bright to dull creates a soft and gradual impression while also affecting people's perceptions. This study manipulates the types of gradient colors to explore the relationship between color gradients and perception of stability to determine whether weight perception plays a role

Congruency of color-sound crossmodal correspondence interacts with color and sound discrimination depending on color category. i-Perception (IF 1.492) Pub Date : 2023-08-30 Kenta Miyamoto,Yuma Taniyama,Kyoko Hine,Shigeki Nakauchi
People occasionally associate color (e.g., hue) with sound (e.g., pitch). Previous studies have reported color-sound associations, which are examples of crossmodal correspondences. However, the association between both semantic and perceptual factors with color/sound discrimination in crossmodal correspondence remains unclear. To clarify this, three psychological experiments were conducted, where Stroop
