Grondin, Simon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
According to the hypothesis of a scalar property for time, the variability to time ratio should be constant. Three experiments tested the validity of this hypothesis in a restricted range of durations (standard values = 1, 1.3, 1.6, and 1.9 s). In each experiment, time intervals to be discriminated, reproduced, or categorized were presented with…

Vangkilde, Signe; Coull, Jennifer T.; Bundesen, Claus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
In a crowded dynamic world, temporal expectations guide our attention in time. Prior investigations have consistently demonstrated that temporal expectations speed motor behavior. We explore effects of temporal expectation on "perceptual" speed in three nonspeeded, cued recognition paradigms. Different hazard rate functions for the…

Gao, Tao; Gao, Zaifeng; Li, Jie; Sun, Zhongqiang; Shen, Mowei – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Mainstream theories of visual perception assume that visual working memory (VWM) is critical for integrating online perceptual information and constructing coherent visual experiences in changing environments. Given the dynamic interaction between online perception and VWM, we propose that how visual information is processed during visual…

Matthias, Ellen; Bublak, Peter; Muller, Hermann J.; Schneider, Werner X.; Krummenacher, Joseph; Finke, Kathrin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Three experiments investigated whether spatial and nonspatial components of visual attention would be influenced by changes in (healthy, young) subjects' level of alertness and whether such effects on separable components would occur independently of each other. The experiments used a no-cue/alerting-cue design with varying cue-target stimulus…

Aaronson, Doris – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1976
Some task variables that influence sentence coding, and the ways in which those influences appear to be manifested in performance were outlined. Trends in empirical data were examined as evidence for two classes of coding strategies. (Author/RK)

Moscovitch, Morris; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1976
To determine whether perceptual asymmetries for faces occur at early or late stages of stimulus analysis, subjects compared the members of a pair of faces which appeared in the right or left visual field, either to each other or to a previously presented sample. (Editor)

Fischhoff, Baruch – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1977
There are many tasks in which people are called on to disregard information that they have already processed. Dealing with inadmissible evidence in a courtroom setting, second-guessing the past, etc. This research investigates such difficulties in a general form, using almanac-type questions. (Editor/RK)
