Mendonça, Rita; Garrido, Margarida V.; Semin, Gün R. – Cognitive Science, 2022
Cultural routines, such as reading and writing direction (script direction), channel attention orientation. Depending on one's native language habit, attention is biased from left-to-right (LR) or from right-to-left (RL). Here, we further document this bias, as it interacts with the spatial directionality that grounds time concepts. We used a…

On the Nature of Streaks in Signal Detection.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gilden, David L.; Wilson, Stephanie Gray – Cognitive Psychology, 1995
Signal detection experiments with 21 college students suggest that streakiness is a property of auditory and visual discrimination in that correct and incorrect responses have a positive sequential dependency. Monte-Carlo simulations of observed data sequences suggest that streaky performance results from wavelike variations in perceptual and…

Infants' Visual Preferences in the Presence and Absence of Auditory Stimulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Moore, David S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1995
Two experiments studied whether altering an auditory stimulus' rate of change affected infants' fixation of changing visual stimuli. Results demonstrated that infants exposed simultaneously to auditory and visual stimulation showed a reduced tendency to fixate on relatively more visually stimulating events. Heart rates also accelerated during…
