Gillam, Barbara J.; Grove, Philip M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Figure-ground perception is typically described as seeing one surface occluding another. Figure properties, not ground properties, are considered the significant factors. In scenes, however, a near surface will often occlude multiple contours and surfaces, often at different depths, producing alignments that are improbable except under conditions…

Hock, Howard S.; Nichols, David F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
A version of the line motion illusion (LMI) occurs when one of two adjacent surfaces changes in luminance; a new surface is perceived sliding in front of the initially presented surface. Previous research has implicated high-level mechanisms that can create or modulate LMI motion via feedback to lower-level motion detectors. It is shown here that…

Langley, Keith; Bex, Peter J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
The contrast gain control model of adaptation predicts that the effects of contrast adaptation correlate with contrast sensitivity. This article reports that the effects of high contrast spatiotemporal adaptors are maximum when adapting around 19 Hz, which is a factor of two or more greater than the peak in contrast sensitivity. To explain the…

Kyllingsbaek, Soren; Bundesen, Claus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
Observers given brief exposures of pairs of colored bars and asked to report both the color and the orientation of each bar showed evidence of stochastic independence between reports of the 4 features (2 colors and 2 orientations). The authors also found virtually perfect stochastic independence between reports of colors and directions of motion…

Tsal, Yehoshua; Makovski, Tal – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
The authors devised a prestimulus-probe method to assess the allocation of attention as a function of participants' top-down expectancies concerning distractor and target locations. Participants performed the flanker task, and distractor locations remained fixed. On some trials, instead of the flanker display, either 2 simultaneous dots or a…

Walthew, Carol; Gilchrist, Iain D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Target location probability was manipulated in a visual search task. When the target was twice as likely to appear on 1 side of the display as the other, manual button-press response times were faster (Experiment 1A) and first saccades were more frequently directed (Experiment 1B) to the more probable locations. When the target appeared with equal…

Nosofsky, Robert M.; Stanton, Roger D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Observers made speeded old-new recognition judgments of color stimuli embedded in a multidimensional similarity space. The paradigm used multiple lists but with the underlying similarity structures repeated across lists, to allow for quantitative modeling of the data at the individual-participant and individual-item levels. Correct rejection…

Brenner, Eli; van Beers, Robert J.; Rotman, Gerben; Smeets, Jeroen B. J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
It only makes sense to talk about the position of a moving object if one specifies the time at which its position is of interest. The authors here show that when a flash or tone specifies the moment of interest, subjects estimate the moving object to be closer to where it passes the fixation point and further in its direction of motion than it…

Rock, Paul B.; Harris, Mike G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
D. N. Lee (1976) described a braking strategy based on optical expansion in which the driver brakes so that the target's time-to-contact declines around a constant slope in the range -0.5 less than or equal to tau less than 0. The present results from a series of braking simulations confirm and extend earlier reports (E. H. Yilmaz & W. H. Warren,…

Ansorge, Ulrich; Neumann, Odmar – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
In 5 experiments, the authors tested whether the processing of nonconscious spatial stimulus information depends on a prior intention. This test was conducted with the metacontrast dissociation paradigm. Experiment 1 demonstrated that masked primes that could not be discriminated above chance level affected responses to the visible stimuli that…

McLeod, Peter; Reed, Nick; Dienes, Zoltan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
The generalized optic acceleration cancellation (GOAC) theory of catching proposes that the path of a fielder running to catch a ball is determined by the attempt to satisfy 2 independent constraints. The 1st is to keep the angle of elevation of gaze to the ball increasing at a decreasing rate. The 2nd is to control the rate of horizontal rotation…

Beck, Melissa R.; Peterson, Matthew S.; Vomela, Miroslava – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Although the role of memory in visual search is debatable, most researchers agree with a limited-capacity model of memory in visual search. The authors demonstrate the role of memory by replicating previous findings showing that visual search is biased away from old items (previously examined items) and toward new items (nonexamined items).…

Wilkie, Richard M.; Wann, John P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
During locomotion, retinal flow, gaze angle, and vestibular information can contribute to one's perception of self-motion. Their respective roles were investigated during active steering: Retinal flow and gaze angle were biased by altering the visual information during computer-simulated locomotion, and vestibular information was controlled…

Leek, E. Charles; Reppa, Irene; Arguin, Martin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
This article examines how the human visual system represents the shapes of 3-dimensional (3D) objects. One long-standing hypothesis is that object shapes are represented in terms of volumetric component parts and their spatial configuration. This hypothesis is examined in 3 experiments using a whole-part matching paradigm in which participants…

Bertamini, Marco; Jones, Luke A.; Spooner, Alice; Hecht, Heiko – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
Boundary extension is a tendency to remember close-up scenes as if they extended beyond the occluding boundaries. The authors explored the contributing factors using brief retention intervals and computer-generated images. Boundary extension turns out to be more complex than previously thought and is not linked to the effects of image…
