van Elk, Michiel; van Schie, Hein T.; Bekkering, Harold – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
The present study assessed the functional organization of action semantics by asking subjects to categorize pictures of an actor holding objects with a correct or incorrect grip at either a correct or incorrect goal location. Overall, reaction times were slower if the object was presented with an inappropriate posture, and this effect was stronger…

Lu, Hongjing; Morrison, Robert G.; Hummel, John E.; Holyoak, Keith J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Previous research has shown that synchronized flicker can facilitate detection of a single Kanizsa square. The present study investigated the role of temporally structured priming in discrimination tasks involving perceptual relations between multiple Kanizsa-type figures. Results indicate that visual information presented as temporally structured…

Brockmole, James R.; Henderson, John M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
The authors examined the prioritization of abruptly appearing objects in real-world scenes by measuring the eyes' propensity to be directed to the new object. New objects were fixated more often than chance whether they appeared during fixations (transient onsets) or saccades (nontransient onsets). However, onsets that appeared during fixations…
