Schreij, Daniel; Olivers, Christian N. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
For stable perception, we maintain mental representations of objects across space and time. What information is linked to such a representation? In this study, we extended our work showing that the spatiotemporal history of an object affects the way the object is attended the next time it is encountered. Observers conducted a visual search for a…

Albertazzi, Liliana; Da Pos, Osvaldo; Canal, Luisa; Micciolo, Rocco; Malfatti, Michela; Vescovi, Massimo – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
This article presents an experimental study on the naturally biased association between shape and color. For each basic geometric shape studied, participants were asked to indicate the color perceived as most closely related to it, choosing from the Natural Color System Hue Circle. Results show that the choices of color for each shape were not…

Jimenez, Luis; Mendez, Amavia – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
In conflict tasks, congruency effects are modulated by the sequence of preceding trials. This modulation effect has been interpreted as an influence of a proactive mechanism of adaptation to conflict (Botvinick, Nystrom, Fissell, Carter, & Cohen, 1999), but the possible contribution of explicit expectancies to this adaptation effect remains…

Holm, Linus; Ullen, Fredrik; Madison, Guy – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
We investigated the causal role of executive control functions in the production of brief time intervals by means of a concurrent task paradigm. To isolate the influence of executive functions on timing from motor coordination effects, we dissociated executive load from the number of effectors used in the dual task situation. In 3 experiments,…

Hayward, William G.; Zhou, Guomei; Man, Wai-Fung; Harris, Irina M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Repetition blindness (RB) is the finding that observers often miss the repetition of an item within a rapid stream of words or objects. Recent studies have shown that RB for objects is largely unaffected by variations in viewpoint between the repeated items. In 5 experiments, we tested RB under different axes of rotation, with different types of…

Watson, Derrick G.; Compton, Suzannah; Bailey, Hannah – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
The preview benefit describes the finding that participants can prioritize the selection of new stimuli by the top-down inhibition of previously presented (previewed) items already in the field (Watson & Humphreys, 1997). Previous work has shown that if the old items undergo a permanent shape change when the new are added, then the old items…

Fischer, Rico; Plessow, Franziska; Kunde, Wilfried; Kiesel, Andrea – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Interference effects are reduced after trials including response conflict. This sequential modulation has often been attributed to a top-down mediated adaptive control mechanism and/or to feature repetition mechanisms. In the present study we tested whether mechanisms responsible for such sequential modulations are subject to attentional…

Lavie, Nilli; Lin, Zhicheng; Zokaei, Nahid; Thoma, Volker – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Predictions from perceptual load theory (Lavie, 1995, 2005) regarding object recognition across the same or different viewpoints were tested. Results showed that high perceptual load reduces distracter recognition levels despite always presenting distracter objects from the same view. They also showed that the levels of distracter recognition were…
