Visual Working Memory Supports the Inhibition of Previously Processed Information: Evidence from Preview Search
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Al-Aidroos, Naseem; Emrich, Stephen M.; Ferber, Susanne; Pratt, Jay – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
In four experiments we assessed whether visual working memory (VWM) maintains a record of previously processed visual information, allowing old information to be inhibited, and new information to be prioritized. Specifically, we evaluated whether VWM contributes to the inhibition (i.e., visual marking) of previewed distractors in a preview search.…

Different Attentional Blink Tasks Reflect Distinct Information Processing Limitations: An Individual Differences Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kelly, Ashleigh J.; Dux, Paul E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
To study the temporal dynamics and capacity-limits of attentional selection and encoding, researchers often employ the attentional blink (AB) phenomenon: subjects' impaired ability to report the second of two targets in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) stream that appear within 200-500 ms of one another. The AB has now been the subject of…

Relative Saliency in Change Signals Affects Perceptual Comparison and Decision Processes in Change Detection
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yang, Cheng-Ta – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Change detection requires perceptual comparison and decision processes on different features of multiattribute objects. How relative salience between two feature-changes influences the processes has not been addressed. This study used the systems factorial technology to investigate the processes when detecting changes in a Gabor patch with visual…

Timing Processes Are Correlated when Tasks Share a Salient Event
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zelaznik, Howard N.; Rosenbaum, David A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Event timing is manifested when participants make discrete movements such as repeatedly tapping a key. Emergent timing is manifested when participants make continuous movements such as repeatedly drawing a circle. Here we pursued the possibility that providing salient perceptual events to mark the completion of time intervals could allow circle…

Priming and Habituation for Faces: Individual Differences and Inversion Effects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rieth, Cory A.; Huber, David E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Immediate repetition priming for faces was examined across a range of prime durations in a threshold identification task. Similar to word repetition priming results, short duration face primes produced positive priming whereas long duration face primes eliminated or reversed this effect. A habituation model of such priming effects predicted that…

Biomechanical versus Inertial Information: Stable Individual Differences in Perception of Self-Rotation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bruggeman, Hugo; Piuneu, Vadzim S.; Rieser, John J.; Pick, Herbert L., Jr. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
When turning without vision or audition, people tend to perceive their locomotion as a change in heading relative to objects in the remembered surroundings. Such perception of self-rotation depends on sensitivity to information for movement from biomechanical activity of the locomotor system or from inertial activation of the vestibular and…
