Sachio Otsuka; Yuki Miura; Jun Saiki – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
It has been reported that visual statistical learning (VSL) is facilitated in skewed distributions. However, it remains unclear whether enhancement of VSL in Zipfian distributions is due to consciousness of the regularities presented at high frequency. This study addressed this issue. We measured participants' subjective confidence in regularities…

Hong, Injae; Kim, Min-Shik; Jeong, Su Keun – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The visual system can learn statistical regularities and form search habits that guide attention to a region where a target frequently appears. Although regularities in the real world can change over time, little is known about how such changes affect habit learning. Using a location probability learning task, we demonstrated that a constant…

Sali, Anthony W.; Anderson, Brian A.; Yantis, Steven – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Individuals regularly experience fluctuations in the ability to perform cognitive operations. Although previous research has focused on predicting cognitive flexibility from persistent individual traits, as well as from spontaneous fluctuations in neural activity, the role of learning in shaping preparatory attentional control remains poorly…

Zang, Xuelian; Jia, Lina; Müller, Hermann J.; Shi, Zhuanghua – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Our visual brain is remarkable in extracting invariant properties from the noisy environment, guiding selection of where to look and what to identify. However, how the brain achieves this is still poorly understood. Here we explore interactions of local context and global structure in the long-term learning and retrieval of invariant display…

Blair, Mark R.; Watson, Marcus R.; Walshe, R. Calen; Maj, Fillip – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
Humans have an extremely flexible ability to categorize regularities in their environment, in part because of attentional systems that allow them to focus on important perceptual information. In formal theories of categorization, attention is typically modeled with weights that selectively bias the processing of stimulus features. These theories…

Hollingworth, Andrew – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
This study investigated whether and how visual representations of individual objects are bound in memory to scene context. Participants viewed a series of naturalistic scenes, and memory for the visual form of a target object in each scene was examined in a 2-alternative forced-choice test, with the distractor object either a different object…
