New Phonotactic Constraints Learned Implicitly by Producing Syllable Strings Generalize to the Production of New Syllables
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Warker, Jill A.; Dell, Gary S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Novel phonotactic constraints can be acquired by hearing or speaking syllables that follow a novel constraint. When learned from hearing syllables, these newly learned constraints generalize to syllables that were not experienced during training. However, generalization of phonotactic learning to novel syllables has never been persuasively…

Going, Going, Gone: Localizing Abrupt Offsets of Moving Objects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Maus, Gerrit W.; Nijhawan, Romi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
When a moving object abruptly disappears, this profoundly influences its localization by the visual system. In Experiment 1, 2 aligned objects moved across the screen, and 1 of them abruptly disappeared. Observers reported seeing the objects misaligned at the time of the offset, with the continuing object leading. Experiment 2 showed that the…

The Attention Cascade Model and Attentional Blink
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shih, Shui-I – Cognitive Psychology, 2008
An attention cascade model is proposed to account for attentional blinks in rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of stimuli. Data were collected using single characters in a single RSVP stream at 10 Hz [Shih, S., & Reeves, A. (2007). "Attentional capture in rapid serial visual presentation." "Spatial Vision", 20(4), 301-315], and single words,…
