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…

Hsieh, Po-Jang; Colas, Jaron T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
The contents of working memory (WM) have predominantly been viewed as necessarily conscious. However, recent findings suggest otherwise. Here we investigate whether visual WM can represent subliminal stimuli, such that the positions of an invisible moving object can be extrapolated or learned about in terms of their task-relevant predictive power.…

Luke, Steven G.; Nuthmann, Antje; Henderson, John M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
The present study used the stimulus onset delay paradigm to investigate eye movement control in reading and in scene viewing in a within-participants design. Short onset delays (0, 25, 50, 200, and 350 ms) were chosen to simulate the type of natural processing difficulty encountered in reading and scene viewing. Fixation duration increased…

Konkle, Talia; Oliva, Aude – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
When we recognize an object, do we automatically know how big it is in the world? We employed a Stroop-like paradigm, in which two familiar objects were presented at different visual sizes on the screen. Observers were faster to indicate which was bigger or smaller on the screen when the real-world size of the objects was congruent with the visual…

Rangelov, Dragan; Muller, Hermann J.; Zehetleitner, Michael – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Observers respond faster when the task-relevant perceptual dimension (e.g., color) repeats across consecutive trials relative to when it changes. Such dimension repetition benefits (DRBs) occur in different tasks, from singleton feature search to feature discrimination of a stimulus presented on its own. Here, we argue that the DRBs observed in…

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)…

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…

Wetzel, Nicole; Widmann, Andreas; Schroger, Erich – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Unexpected and task-irrelevant sounds can capture our attention and may cause distraction effects reflected by impaired performance in a primary task unrelated to the perturbing sound. The present auditory-visual oddball study examines the effect of the informational content of a sound on the performance in a visual discrimination task. The…

Laidlaw, Kaitlin E. W.; Risko, Evan F.; Kingstone, Alan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
People tend to look at other people's eyes, but whether this bias is automatic or volitional is unclear. To discriminate between these two possibilities, we used a "don't look" (DL) paradigm. Participants looked at a series of upright or inverted faces, and were asked either to freely view the faces or to avoid looking at the eyes, or as a…

Kyllingsbaek, Soren; Markussen, Bo; Bundesen, Claus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
The authors propose and test a simple model of the time course of visual identification of briefly presented, mutually confusable single stimuli in pure accuracy tasks. The model implies that during stimulus analysis, tentative categorizations that stimulus i belongs to category j are made at a constant Poisson rate, v(i, j). The analysis is…

Robbins, Rachel A.; Coltheart, Max – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Extensive research has focused on face recognition, and much is known about this topic. However, much of this work seems to be based on an assumption that faces are the most important aspect of person recognition. Here we test this assumption in two experiments. We show that when viewers are forced to choose, they "do" use the face more than the…

Enns, James T.; MacDonald, Sarah C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Visual artists and photographers believe that a viewer's gaze can be guided by selective use of image clarity and blur, but there is little systematic research. In this study, participants performed several eye-tracking tasks with the same naturalistic photographs, including recognition memory for the entire photo, as well as recognition memory…

van Eijk, Rob L. J.; Kohlrausch, Armin; Juola, James F.; van de Par, Steven – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Audio-visual stimulus pairs presented at various relative delays, are commonly judged as being "synchronous" over a range of delays from about -50 ms (audio leading) to +150 ms (video leading). The center of this range is an estimate of the point of subjective simultaneity (PSS). The judgment boundaries, where "synchronous" judgments yield to a…

Lee, Hyunkyu; Mozer, Michael C.; Kramer, Arthur F.; Vecera, Shaun P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
How is attention guided by past experience? In visual search, numerous studies have shown that recent trials influence responses to the current trial. Repeating features such as color, shape, or location of a target facilitates performance. Here we examine whether recent experience also modulates a more abstract dimension of attentional control,…

Marotta, Andrea; Lupianez, Juan; Martella, Diana; Casagrande, Maria – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
This study aimed to evaluate the type of attentional selection (location- and/or object-based) triggered by two different types of central noninformative cues: eye gaze and arrows. Two rectangular objects were presented in the visual field, and subjects' attention was directed to the end of a rectangle via the observation of noninformative…
