Jingling, Li; Tseng, Chia-Huei – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
In visual searches, stimuli following the law of good continuity attract attention to the global structure and receive attentional priority. Also, targets that have unique features are of high feature contrast and capture attention in visual search. We report on a salient global structure combined with a high orientation contrast to the…

Meiran, Nachshon; Dimov, Eduard; Ganel, Tzvi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
In the present experiments, the question being addressed was whether switching attention between perceptual dimensions and selective attention to dimensions are processes that compete over a common resource? Attention to perceptual dimensions is usually studied by requiring participants to ignore a never-relevant dimension. Selection failure…

Arita, Jason T.; Carlisle, Nancy B.; Woodman, Geoffrey F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Theories of attention are compatible with the idea that we can bias attention to avoid selecting objects that have known nontarget features. Although this may underlie several existing phenomena, the explicit guidance of attention away from known nontargets has yet to be demonstrated. Here we show that observers can use feature cues (i.e., color)…

Yamaguchi, Motonori; Crump, Matthew J. C.; Logan, Gordon D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Typing performance involves hierarchically structured control systems: At the higher level, an outer loop generates a word or a series of words to be typed; at the lower level, an inner loop activates the keystrokes comprising the word in parallel and executes them in the correct order. The present experiments examined contributions of the outer-…

Tapia, Evelina; Breitmeyer, Bruno G.; Jacob, Jane; Broyles, Elizabeth C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Flanker congruency effects were measured in a masked flanker task to assess the properties of spatial attention during conscious and nonconscious processing of form, color, and conjunctions of these features. We found that (1) consciously and nonconsciously processed colored shape distractors (i.e., flankers) produce flanker congruency effects;…

Seli, Paul; Cheyne, James Allan; Smilek, Daniel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Mind wandering is a pervasive feature of human cognition often associated with the withdrawal of task-related executive control processes. Here, we explore the possibility that, in tasks requiring executive control to sustain consistent responding, moments of mind wandering could be associated with moments of increased behavioral variability. To…

Mitra, Suvobrata; Knight, Alec; Munn, Alexandra – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Performing a cognitive task while maintaining upright stance can lead to increased or reduced body sway depending on tasks and experimental conditions. Because greater sway is commonly taken to indicate loosened postural control, and vice versa, the precise impact of cognitive load on postural stability has remained unclear. In much of the large…

Jiang, Yuhong V.; Swallow, Khena M.; Rosenbaum, Gail M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Our visual system is highly sensitive to regularities in the environment. Locations that were important in one's previous experience are often prioritized during search, even though observers may not be aware of the learning. In this study we characterized the guidance of spatial attention by incidental learning of a target's spatial probability,…

Stenzel, Anna; Chinellato, Eris; Bou, Maria A. Tirado; del Pobil, Angel P.; Lappe, Markus; Liepelt, Roman – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
In human-human interactions, corepresenting a partner's actions is crucial to successfully adjust and coordinate actions with others. Current research suggests that action corepresentation is restricted to interactions between human agents facilitating social interaction with conspecifics. In this study, we investigated whether action…

Bockler, Anne; Knoblich, Gunther; Sebanz, Natalie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Coactors take into account certain aspects of each other's tasks even when this is not required to perform their own task. The present experiments investigated whether the way a coactor allocates attention affects one's own attentional relation to stimuli that are attended jointly (Experiment 1), individually (Experiment 2), or in parallel…

Halvorson, Kimberly M.; Ebner, Herschel; Hazeltine, Eliot – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Why are dual-task costs reduced with ideomotor (IM) compatible tasks (Greenwald & Shulman, 1973; Lien, Proctor & Allen, 2002)? In the present experiments, we first examine three different measures of single-task performance (pure single-task blocks, mixed blocks, and long stimulus onset asynchrony [SOA] trials in dual-task blocks) and two…

Proctor, Robert W.; Yamaguchi, Motonori; Dutt, Varun; Gonzalez, Cleotilde – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Binary-choice reactions are typically faster when the stimulus location corresponds with that of the response than when it does not. This advantage of spatial correspondence is known as the "stimulus-response compatibility" (SRC) effect when the mapping of stimulus location, as the relevant stimulus dimension, is varied to be compatible or…

Moutsopoulou, Karolina; Waszak, Florian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
The differential effects of task and response conflict in priming paradigms where associations are strengthened between a stimulus, a task, and a response have been demonstrated in recent years with neuroimaging methods. However, such effects are not easily disentangled with only measurements of behavior, such as reaction times (RTs). Here, we…

Aksentijevic, Aleksandar; Barber, Paul J.; Elliott, Mark A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Advances in auditory research suggest that gamma-band synchronization of frequency-specific cortical loci could be responsible for the integration of pure tones (harmonics) into harmonic complex tones. Thus far, evidence for such a mechanism has been revealed in neurophysiological studies, with little corroborative psychophysical evidence. In six…

Crepaldi, Davide; Rastle, Kathleen; Davis, Colin J.; Lupker, Stephen J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
There is broad consensus that printed complex words are identified on the basis of their constituent morphemes. This fact raises the issue of how the word identification system codes for morpheme position, hence allowing it to distinguish between words like "overhang" and "hangover", and to recognize that "preheat" is…
