Frischen, Alexandra; Ferrey, Anne E.; Burt, Dustin H. R.; Pistchik, Meghan; Fenske, Mark J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Affective evaluations of previously ignored visual stimuli are more negative than those of novel items or prior targets of attention or response. This has been taken as evidence that inhibition has negative affective consequences. But inhibition could act instead to attenuate or "neutralize" preexisting affective salience, predicting opposite…

Eitam, Baruch; Yeshurun, Yaffa; Hassan, Kinneret – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
To what degree does our representation of the immediate world depend solely on its relevance to what we are currently doing? We examined whether relevance per se can cause "blindness," even when there is no resource limitation. In a novel paradigm, people looked at a colored circle surrounded by a differently colored ring--the task…

Demeyere, Nele; Humphreys, Glyn W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Evidence is presented for the immediate apprehension of exact small quantities. Participants performed a quantification task (are the number of items greater or smaller than?), and carry-over effects were examined between numbers requiring the same response. Carry-over effects between small numbers were strongly affected by repeats of pattern and…

Keetels, Mirjam; Vroomen, Jean – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
The authors examined the effects of a task-irrelevant sound on visual processing. Participants were presented with revolving clocks at or around central fixation and reported the hand position of a target clock at the time an exogenous cue (1 clock turning red) or an endogenous cue (a line pointing toward 1 of the clocks) was presented. A…

Dittrich, Kerstin; Stahl, Christoph – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Load theory predicts that concurrent cognitive load impairs selective attention. For visual stimuli, it has been shown that this impairment can be selective: Distraction was specifically increased when the stimulus material used in the cognitive load task matches that of the selective attention task. Here, we report four experiments that…

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,…

Hydock, Chris; Sohn, Myeong-Ho – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
In the task switch paradigm, a switch of task is typically accompanied by a change in task cue. It has been proposed that the performance deficit usually observed when switching tasks is actually the result of changing cues. To test this possibility, we used a 2:2 cue-task mapping in which each cue indicated 2 different tasks. With advance…

Hazeltine, Eliot; Lightman, Erin; Schwarb, Hillary; Schumacher, Eric H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
We examined the sequential modulation of congruency effects using a task in which the irrelevant information shares the same stimulus dimensions as the relevant information but is presented at an earlier time. In Experiment 1, sequential modulations were observed within a stimulus modality but not between stimulus modalities. In Experiment 2,…

Flevaris, Anastasia V.; Bentin, Shlomo; Robertson, Lynn C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Ample evidence suggests that global perception may involve low spatial frequency (LSF) processing and that local perception may involve high spatial frequency (HSF) processing (Shulman, Sullivan, Gish, & Sakoda, 1986; Shulman & Wilson, 1987; Robertson, 1996). It is debated whether SF selection is a low-level mechanism associating global…

Tse, Chi-Shing; Hutchison, Keith A.; Li, Yongna – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Participants' reaction time (RT) data in a prime-probe flanker task (e.g., ABA-CAC) were analyzed in terms of the characteristics of RT distribution to examine possible mechanisms that produce negative priming. When the prime and probe were presented in the same context and the proportion of repetition-target trials (TRP) was 0.33, negative…

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…

Vainio, Lari; Mustonen, Terhi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Brain-imaging research has shown that a viewed acting hand is mapped to the observer's hand representation that corresponds with the identity of the hand. In contrast, behavioral research has suggested that rather than representing a seen hand in relation to one's own manual system, it is represented in relation to the midline of an imaginary…

Jones, John L.; Kaschak, Michael P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Locating a target in a visual search task is facilitated when the target location is repeated on successive trials. Global statistical properties also influence visual search, but have often been confounded with local regularities (i.e., target location repetition). In two experiments, target locations were not repeated for four successive trials,…

Ellenbogen, Ravid; Meiran, Nachshon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
The backward-compatibility effect (BCE) is a major index of parallel processing in dual tasks and is related to the dependency of Task 1 performance on Task 2 response codes (Hommel, 1998). The results of four dual-task experiments showed that a BCE occurs when the stimuli of both tasks are included in the same visual object (Experiments 1 and 2)…

Gondan, Matthias; Blurton, Steven P.; Hughes, Flavia; Greenlee, Mark W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
When participants respond to auditory and visual stimuli, responses to audiovisual stimuli are substantially faster than to unimodal stimuli (redundant signals effect, RSE). In such tasks, the RSE is usually higher than probability summation predicts, suggestive of specific integration mechanisms underlying the RSE. We investigated the role of…
