O'Hearn, Kirsten; Franconeri, Steven; Wright, Catherine; Minshew, Nancy; Luna, Beatriz – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Evidence suggests that people with autism rely less on holistic visual information than typical adults. The current studies examine this by investigating core visual processes that contribute to holistic processing--namely, individuation and element grouping--and how they develop in participants with autism and typically developing (TD)…

Shaki, Samuel; Petrusic, William M.; Leth-Steensen, Craig – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
With English-language readers in an experiment requiring pairwise comparative judgments of the sizes of animals, the nature of the association between the magnitudes of the animal pairs and the left or right sides of response (i.e., the SNARC effect) was reversed depending on whether the participants had to choose either the smaller or the larger…

Thomaschke, Roland; Hopkins, Brian; Miall, R. Christopher – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Previous research has shown that actions impair the visual perception of categorically action-consistent stimuli. On the other hand, actions can also facilitate the perception of spatially action-consistent stimuli. We suggest that motorvisual impairment is due to action planning processes, while motorvisual facilitation is due to action control…

de la Rosa, Stephan; Choudhery, Rabia N.; Chatziastros, Astros – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Recent evidence suggests that the recognition of an object's presence and its explicit recognition are temporally closely related. Here we re-examined the time course (using a fine and a coarse temporal resolution) and the sensitivity of three possible component processes of visual object recognition. In particular, participants saw briefly…

Gottesman, Carmela V. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Four experiments examined whether scene processing is facilitated by layout representation, including layout that was not perceived but could be predicted based on a previous partial view (boundary extension). In a priming paradigm (after Sanocki, 2003), participants judged objects' distances in photographs. In Experiment 1, full scenes (target),…

Grassi, Massimo; Casco, Clara – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Two discs moving from opposite points in space, overlapping and stopping at the other disc's starting point, can be seen as either bouncing or streaming through each other. With silent displays, observers report the discs as streaming, whereas if a sound is played when the discs touch each other, observers report the discs as bouncing. The origin…

Kallai, Arava Y.; Tzelgov, Joseph – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
The representation of fractions in long-term memory (LTM) was investigated by examining the automatic processing of such numbers in a physical comparison task, and their intentional processing in a numerical comparison task. The size congruity effect (SiCE) served as a marker of automatic processing and consequently as an indicator of the access…

Cooper, Stephen; Mari-Beffa, Paloma – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2008
When switching between tasks, participants are sometimes required to use different response sets for each task. Thus, task switch and response set switch are confounded. In 5 experiments, the authors examined transitions of response within a linear 4-finger arrangement. A random baseline condition was compared with the cuing of specific response…

Pitt, Mark A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Spoken words undergo frequent and often predictable variation in pronunciation. One form of variation is medial /t/ deletion, in which words like "center" and "cantaloupe" are pronounced without acoustic cues indicative of syllable-initial /t/. Three experiments examined the consequences of this missing phonetic information on lexical activation.…

Ortiz, Jeanette A.; Wright, Beverly A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Improvements in performance on many perceptual skills can occur with only a single training session. Of interest here is what aspects of the training experience are being learned during this brief exposure. Although there is considerable evidence that learning associated with specific feature values of the stimulus used in training ("stimulus…

Curby, Kim M.; Glazek, Kuba; Gauthier, Isabel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Visual short-term memory (VSTM) is limited, especially for complex objects. Its capacity, however, is greater for faces than for other objects; this advantage may stem from the holistic nature of face processing. If the holistic processing explains this advantage, object expertise--which also relies on holistic processing--should endow experts…

Watson, Derrick G.; Maylor, Elizabeth A.; Bruce, Lucy A. M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
Previous work has suggested that eye movements may be necessary for accurate enumeration beyond the subitization range of about 4 items. This study determined the frequency of eye movements normally made during enumeration, their relationship to response times, and whether they are required for accurate performance. This was achieved by monitoring…

Praamstra, Peter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
K. Wiegand and E. Wascher (2005) used the lateralized readiness potential (LRP) to investigate the mechanisms underlying spatial stimulus-response (S-R) correspondence. The authors compared spatial S-R correspondence effects obtained with horizontal and vertical S-R arrangements. In some relevant previous investigations on spatial S-R…

Flombaum, Jonathan I.; Scholl, Brian J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Meaningful visual experience requires computations that identify objects as the same persisting individuals over time, motion, occlusion, and featural change. This article explores these computations in the tunnel effect: When an object moves behind an occluder, and then an object later emerges following a consistent trajectory, observers…

Krueger, Lester E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1979
A uniprocessor, unidimensional model, based on Krueger's noisy-operator theory, was fitted satisfactorily to data from four published studies of tone comparison. The model predicts faster response time on different judgments because of heterogeneity of difference. (Author/CP)
