Best, Ryan M.; Goldstone, Robert L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Categorical perception (CP) effects manifest as faster or more accurate discrimination between objects that come from different categories compared with objects that come from the same category, controlling for the physical differences between the objects. The most popular explanations of CP effects have relied on perceptual warping causing…

Krakowski, Claire-Sara; Poirel, Nicolas; Vidal, Julie; Roëll, Margot; Pineau, Arlette; Borst, Grégoire; Houdé, Olivier – Developmental Psychology, 2016
To act and think, children and adults are continually required to ignore irrelevant visual information to focus on task-relevant items. As real-world visual information is organized into structures, we designed a feature visual search task containing 3-level hierarchical stimuli (i.e., local shapes that constituted intermediate shapes that formed…

Skewes, Joshua C; Jegindø, Else-Marie; Gebauer, Line – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
Autistic people are better at perceiving details. Major theories explain this in terms of bottom-up sensory mechanisms or in terms of top-down cognitive biases. Recently, it has become possible to link these theories within a common framework. This framework assumes that perception is implicit neural inference, combining sensory evidence with…

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…

Cohen, Andrew L.; Shapiro, Steven K. – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2007
Objective: To examine the ability of the flicker task to demonstrate greater utility in discriminating performance in young adults with and without ADHD compared to the Conners' CPT (CCPT). Method: Flicker task and CCPT performance were compared between an ADHD (n = 28) and control (n = 30) group of college students. Results: This study replicated…

Pace, Dorothy J.; And Others – 1980
Volunteers (N=83) from paired classes, including Mexican Americans, Anglo Americans, Black Americans and others, visually classified one another in regard to ethnic identity, in an attempt to assess the accuracy of visual identification when used by researchers to achieve such classification. Findings were that major ethnic groups were quite…

Laws, Glynis; And Others – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1995
Investigates the influence of linguistic structure on non-linguistic cognition by comparing Russian and English behavior on tasks involving the color blue. Russians, who differentiate this region into "dark blue" and "light blue," were expected to separate blues more often than English subjects for whom the colors belong to one lexical category.…
