Wiggett, Alison J.; Hudson, Matt; Tipper, Steve P.; Downing, Paul E. – Brain and Cognition, 2011
Observation of another person executing an action primes the same action in the observer's motor system. Recent evidence has shown that these priming effects are flexible, where training of new associations, such as making a foot response when viewing a moving hand, can reduce standard action priming effects (Gillmeister, Catmur, Liepelt, Brass,…

Yu, Chen; Smith, Linda B. – Developmental Science, 2011
Recent studies show that both adults and young children possess powerful statistical learning capabilities to solve the word-to-world mapping problem. However, the underlying mechanisms that make statistical learning possible and powerful are not yet known. With the goal of providing new insights into this issue, the research reported in this…

Kruschke, John K.; Kappenman, Emily S.; Hetrick, William P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
The associative learning effects called blocking and highlighting have previously been explained by covert learned attention, but evidence for learned attention has been indirect, via models of response choice. The present research reports results from eye tracking consistent with the attentional hypothesis: Gaze duration is diminished for blocked…
