Spatial asymmetries in viewing and remembering scenes: consequences of an attentional bias?

30 Jul 2009 Given a single fixation, memory for scenes containing salient objects near both the left and right view boundaries exhibited a rightward bias in boundary extension (Experiment 1). On each trial, a 500-msec picture and 2.5-sec mask were followed by a ...

Inhibitory tagging in an interrupted visual search.

30 Jul 2009 Inhibition of return facilitates visual search, biasing attention away from previously examined locations. Prior research has shown that, as a result of inhibitory tags associated with rejected distractor items, observers are slower to detect small ...

Estimating the difference limen in 2AFC tasks: pitfalls and improved estimators.

30 Jul 2009 Discrimination performance is often assessed by measuring the difference limen (DL; or just noticeable difference) in a two-alternative forced choice (2AFC) task. Here, we show that the DL estimated from 2AFC percentage-correct data is likely to ...

The effect of a carbohydrate-caffeine sports drink on simulated golf performance.

30 Jul 2009 A round of golf lasts approximately 4 h, during which time homeostasis could be challenged through either hypoglycemia or hypohydration. This might result in impaired motor skill or cognitive performance. Given the high cognitive demand of putting ...

Sleep deprivation affects multiple distinct cognitive processes.

30 Jul 2009 Sleep deprivation adversely affects the ability to perform cognitive tasks, but theories range from predicting an overall decline in cognitive functioning (because of reduced stability in attentional networks) to claiming specific deficits in ...

Extracommunicative functions of language: verbal interference causes selective categorization impairments.

30 Jul 2009 In addition to its communicative functions, language has been argued to have a variety of extracommunicative functions, as assessed by its causal involvement in putatively nonlinguistic tasks. In the present work, I argue that language may be ...

Aging and recognition memory for emotional words: a bias account.

30 Jul 2009 The present study investigated age-related differences in the locus of the emotional enhancement effect in recognition memory. Younger and older adults studied an emotion-heterogeneous list followed by a forced choice recognition memory test. Luce's ...

Pathway control in visual word processing: converging evidence from recognition memory.

30 Jul 2009 The extent to which readers can exert strategic control over oral reading processes is a matter of debate. According to the pathway control hypothesis, the relative contributions of the lexical and nonlexical pathways can be modulated by the ...

Early morphological processing is morphosemantic and not simply morpho-orthographic: a violation of form-then-meaning accounts of word recognition.

30 Jul 2009 Many studies have suggested that a word's orthographic form must be processed before its meaning becomes available. Some interpret the (null) finding of equal facilitation after semantically transparent and opaque morphologically related primes in ...

The influence of only and even on online semantic interpretation.

30 Jul 2009 Focus particles such as only and even indicate that the focused element(s) in a sentence should be contrasted with a set of contextually defined alternatives. Only indicates that properties assigned to the focus set are not shared by elements of the ...
