Morey, Richard D.; Morey, Candice C.; Brisson, Benoit; Tremblay, Sebastien – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
It is known that visual working memory capacity is limited, but the nature of this limit remains a subject of controversy. Increasingly, two factors are thought to limit visual memory: an object-based limit associated with so-called "slots" models, and an information-based limit associated with resource models. Recently, Barton, Ester, and Awh…

Hajnal, Alen; Abdul-Malak, Daniel T.; Durgin, Frank H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Historically, the bodily senses have often been regarded as impeccable sources of spatial information and as being the teacher of vision. Here, the authors report that the haptic perception of slope by means of the foot is greatly exaggerated. The exaggeration is present in verbal as well as proprioceptive judgments. It is shown that this…

Duyck, Wouter; Anseel, Frederik; Szmalec, Arnaud; Mestdagh, Pascal; Tavernier, Antoine; Hartsuiker, Robert J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2008
In current cognitive psychology, naming latencies are commonly measured by electronic voice keys that detect when sound exceeds a certain amplitude threshold. However, recent research (e.g., K. Rastle & M. H. Davis, 2002) has shown that these devices are particularly inaccurate in precisely detecting acoustic onsets. In this article, the authors…

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…

Krampe, Ralf Th.; Mayr, Ulrich; Kliegl, Reinhold – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
The authors demonstrate that the timing and sequencing of target durations require low-level timing and executive control. Sixteen young (M-sub(age) = 19 years) and 16 older (M-sub(age) = 70 years) adults participated in 2 experiments. In Experiment 1, individual mean-variance functions for low-level timing (isochronous tapping) and the sequencing…

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…
