Dall, Jonas Olsen; Wang, Yong-ming; Cai, Xin-lu; Chan, Raymond C. K.; Sørensen, Thomas Alrik – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Using Chinese characters, we investigated how stroke count and frequency of use influence attention and short-term memory (STM) encoding in Mainland Chinese speakers. To isolate specific components of attention we employed the Theory of Visual Attention (TVA), which allowed estimates of STM capacity, processing speed, and the threshold of visual…

Ngiam, William X. Q.; Khaw, Kimberley L. C.; Holcombe, Alex O.; Goodbourn, Patrick T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Visual working memory (VWM) is limited in both the "capacity" of information it can retain and the "rate" at which it encodes that information. We examined the influence of stimulus complexity on these 2 limitations of VWM. Observers performed a change-detection task with English letters of various fonts or letters from…

Fournet, Colas; Mirault, Jonathan; Perea, Manuel; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In four experiments, we investigated the impact of letter case (lower case vs. UPPER CASE) on the processing of sequences of written words. Experiment 1 used the rapid parallel visual presentation (RPVP) paradigm with postcued identification of one word in a five-word sequence. The sequence could be grammatically correct (e.g., "the boy likes…

Harding, Bradley; Cousineau, Denis – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The same-different task is a classic paradigm that requires participants to judge whether two successively presented stimuli are the same or different. While this task is simple, with results that have been replicated many times, response times (RTs) and accuracy for both same and different decisions remain difficult to model. The biggest obstacle…

Yang, Huilan; Chen, Jingjun; Spinelli, Giacomo; Lupker, Stephen J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Does visuospatial orientation influence repetition and transposed character (TC) priming effects in logographic scripts? According to perceptual learning accounts, the nature of orthographic (form) priming effects should be influenced by text orientation (Dehaene, Cohen, Sigman, & Vinckier, 2005; Grainger & Holcomb, 2009). In contrast,…

Hermena, Ehab W.; Liversedge, Simon P.; Drieghe, Denis – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
The authors conducted 2 eye movement experiments in which they used the typographical and linguistic properties of Arabic to disentangle the influences of words' number of letters and spatial extent on measures of fixation duration and saccade targeting (Experiment 1), and to investigate the influence of initial bigram characteristics on saccade…

Pagán, Ascensión; Blythe, Hazel I.; Liversedge, Simon P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Although previous research has shown that letter position information for the first letter of a parafoveal word is encoded less flexibly than internal word beginning letters (Johnson, Perea & Rayner, 2007; White et al., 2008), it is not clear how positional encoding operates over the initial trigram in English. This experiment explored the…
