Peer reviewedCarr, Thomas H.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1982
The encoding mechanism involved in perceptual recognition of words and pictures was investigated. Latencies in naming targets were analyzed as a function of several characteristics of a preceding prime. Results indicated that a common semantic code is available that can represent the meaning of either a word or a picture. (Author/RD)

Peer reviewedCourchesne, Eric; And Others – Child Development, 1981
Differences in response of four- to seven-month-old infants to tachistoscopically presented photographs of two human faces suggest infants were able to remember a frequently presented face from trial to trial and discriminate it from a discrepant, infrequently presented face. Findings suggest event-related brain potential (ERP) responses could…

The efficacy of gating in the processing of simple, multidimensional stimuli was investigated. In Experiment 1, a continuous classification task was used, with subjects sorting cards according to binary dimensions of line orientation and location. Results suggested that orientation and location are integral dimensions, facilitation occurring with…

Peer reviewedEgeth, Howard E.; Santee, Jeffrey L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
Effects of target-noise similarity on the ability to discriminate between two target letters were investigated. Performance was low when the noise letter shared the same name as the target. Thus, interletter interference effects cannot be explained in terms of inhibition between visual features. A "cognitive masking" hypothesis is proposed.…

Peer reviewedSchvaneveldt, Roger W.; McDonald, James E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
Earlier research with the lexical decision task led to the hypothesis that semantic context facilitates the encoding of words related to the context. Six experiments which employed different tasks (e.g., making a lexical decision) and different experimental paradigms (e.g., tachistoscopic exposures with masking stimuli) further investigated this…

Peer reviewedHatae, Tereza Iochico; Hatta, Takeshi – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
The effect of parafoveal noise information on a Hirakana target-recognition task was investigated in good and poor readers from first and second grades. A differential effect of parafoveal noise produced a longer or shorter variation in reaction time depending on kind of surrounding material. Filtering mechanism efficiency differences are…
