Tapia, Evelina; Breitmeyer, Bruno G.; Jacob, Jane; Broyles, Elizabeth C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Flanker congruency effects were measured in a masked flanker task to assess the properties of spatial attention during conscious and nonconscious processing of form, color, and conjunctions of these features. We found that (1) consciously and nonconsciously processed colored shape distractors (i.e., flankers) produce flanker congruency effects;…

Jiang, Yuhong V.; Swallow, Khena M.; Rosenbaum, Gail M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Our visual system is highly sensitive to regularities in the environment. Locations that were important in one's previous experience are often prioritized during search, even though observers may not be aware of the learning. In this study we characterized the guidance of spatial attention by incidental learning of a target's spatial probability,…

Huang, Liqiang; Pashler, Harold – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Selective attention in multidimensional displays has usually been examined using search tasks requiring the detection of a single target. We examined the ability to perceive a spatial structure in multi-item subsets of a display that were defined either conjunctively or disjunctively. Observers saw two adjacent displays and indicated whether the…

McDonald, John J.; Green, Jessica J.; Jannati, Ali; Di Lollo, Vincent – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
The presence of a salient distractor interferes with visual search. According to the salience-driven selection hypothesis, this interference is because of an initial deployment of attention to the distractor. Three event-related potential (ERP) findings have been regarded as evidence for this hypothesis: (a) salient distractors were found to…

Kruger, Hannah M.; Hunt, Amelia R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Responses are slower to targets appearing in recently inspected locations, an effect known as Inhibition of Return (IOR). IOR is typically viewed as the consequence of an involuntary mechanism that prevents reinspection of previously visited locations and thereby biases attention toward novel locations during visual search. For an inhibitory…

Parris, Benjamin A.; Dienes, Zoltan; Hodgson, Timothy L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
The present work investigated possible temporal constraints on the posthypnotic word blindness suggestion effect. In a completely within-subjects and counterbalanced design 19 highly suggestible individuals performed the Stroop task both with and without a posthypnotic suggestion that they would be unable to read the word dimension of the Stroop…

Kalanthroff, Eyal; Goldfarb, Liat; Henik, Avishai – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Performance of the Stroop task reflects two conflicts--informational (between the incongruent word and ink color) and task (between relevant color naming and irrelevant word reading). The task conflict is usually not visible, and is only seen when task control is damaged. Using the stop-signal paradigm, a few studies demonstrated longer…

Watson, Derrick G.; Kunar, Melina A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
In visual search, a set of distractor items can be suppressed from future selection if they are presented (previewed) before a second set of search items arrive. This "visual marking" mechanism provides a top-down way of prioritizing the selection of new stimuli, at the expense of old stimuli already in the field (Watson & Humphreys,…

Seydell-Greenwald, Anna; Schmidt, Thomas – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Whereas physiological studies indicate that illusory contours (ICs) are signaled in early visual areas at short latencies, behavioral studies are divided as to whether IC processing can proceed in a fast, automatic, bottom-up manner or whether it requires extensive top-down intracortical feedback or even awareness and cognition. Here, we employ a…

Pomerantz, James R.; Portillo, Mary C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Gestalt phenomena are often so powerful that mere demonstrations can confirm their existence, but Gestalts have proven hard to define and measure. Here we outline a theory of basic Gestalts (TBG) that defines Gestalts as emergent features (EFs). The logic relies on discovering wholes that are more discriminable than are the parts from which they…

White, Sarah J.; Staub, Adrian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Participants' eye movements were recorded as they read single sentences presented normally, presented entirely in faint text, or presented normally except for a single faint word. Fixations were longer when the entire sentence was faint than when the sentence was presented normally. In addition, fixations were much longer on a single faint word…

Sewell, David K.; Smith, Philip L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
The attention literature distinguishes two general mechanisms by which attention can benefit performance: gain (or resource) models and orienting (or switching) models. In gain models, processing efficiency is a function of a spatial distribution of capacity or resources; in orienting models, an attentional spotlight must be aligned with the…

Goujon, Annabelle; Brockmole, James R.; Ehinger, Krista A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Previous research using the contextual cuing paradigm has revealed both quantitative and qualitative differences in learning depending on whether repeated contexts are defined by letter arrays or real-world scenes. To clarify the relative contributions of visual features and semantic information likely to account for such differences, the typical…

Schroter, Hannes; Fiedler, Anja; Miller, Jeff; Ulrich, Rolf – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
In a simple reaction time (RT) experiment, visual stimuli were stereoscopically presented either to one eye (single stimulation) or to both eyes (redundant stimulation), with brightness matched for single and redundant stimulations. Redundant stimulation resulted in two separate percepts when noncorresponding retinal areas were stimulated, whereas…

Patching, Geoffrey R.; Englund, Mats P.; Hellstrom, Ake – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Despite the importance of both response probability and response time for testing models of choice, there is a dearth of chronometric studies examining systematic asymmetries that occur over time- and space-orders in the method of paired comparisons. In this study, systematic asymmetries in discriminating the magnitude of paired visual stimuli are…
