In a seminal paper, Moher (Psychol Sci 31(1):31-42, 10.1177/0956797619886809, 2020) reported that a salient distractor induced observers to quit the search early when the target was absent and increased the error rate when the target was present. This early quitting effect (EQE) was considered to impact real-world target detection. We were…

Branch, Fallon; Lewis, Allison JoAnna; Santana, Isabella Noel; Hegdé, Jay – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Camouflage-breaking is a special case of visual search where an object of interest, or target, can be hard to distinguish from the background even when in plain view. We have previously shown that naive, non-professional subjects can be trained using a deep learning paradigm to accurately perform a camouflage-breaking task in which they report…

Luo, Tianrui; Huang, Liqiang; Tian, Mi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
The retro-cue effect (RCE) describes the finding that participants' working memory performance is enhanced when their attention is directed to the to-be-tested position by a spatial cue during the retention interval. Here, we explore the relationship between RCE and working memory consolidation. A sequential display retro-cue paradigm is used for…

Muffato, Veronica; Miola, Laura; Pellegrini, Marilina; Pazzaglia, Francesca; Meneghetti, Chiara – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
When learning an environment from virtual navigation people gain knowledge about landmarks, their locations, and the paths that connect them. The present study newly aimed to investigate all these domains of knowledge and how cognitive factors such as visuospatial abilities and wayfinding inclinations might support virtual passive navigation. A…

Thorley, Craig – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
There are many situations in which a person must accurately estimate a stranger's age. For example, a salesperson must accurately estimate the age of a stranger who wishes to purchase age-restricted goods. Information from a stranger's eyes and hair can indicate their likely age. Here, two experiments examined whether adult participants' accuracy…

Möhring, Wenke; Szubielska, Magdalena – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
The present study examined whether scaling direction and perceptual modality affect children's spatial scaling. Children aged 6-8 years (N = 201) were assigned to a visual, visuo-haptic, and haptic condition in which they were presented with colourful, embossed graphics. In the haptic condition, they were asked to wear a blindfold during the test…

Studies have shown that explicit strategies make a significant contribution to visuomotor adaptation. However, little attention has been given to potential unconscious cognitive biases in these strategies, despite that they involve a sequence of cognitive decision-making processes. To reveal the possible cultural biases involved in motor learning,…

Lawrence, Rebecca K.; Cochrane, B. A.; Eidels, A.; Howard, Z.; Lui, L.; Pratt, J. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
When a highly salient distractor is present in a search array, it speeds target absent visual search and increases errors during target present visual search, suggesting lowered quitting thresholds (Moher in Psychol Sci 31(1):31-42, 2020). Missing a critical target in the presence of a highly salient distractor can have dire consequences in…

Swain, Riley H.; O'Hare, Aminda J.; Brandley, Kamila; Gardner, A. Tye – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Facial expressions provide key information for successful social interactions. Recent research finds that accurate perception of emotion expressions decreases when faces are presented with face masks. What is unknown is how individual differences in social intelligence may influence perception of masked emotion expressions. In this study,…

Manley, Krista D.; Chan, Jason C. K.; Wells, Gary L. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Research has consistently shown that concealing facial features can hinder subsequent identification. The widespread adoption of face masks due to the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical and urgent need to discover techniques to improve identification of people wearing face coverings. Despite years of research on face recognition and…

In two studies, we used the Gottschaldt's Hidden Figure Test (GHFT) for assessing figure disembedding ability in children aged 7-11. Study 1 demonstrated in a large sample of typically developing children that GHFT accuracy and time scores differed across age groups, without sex and socioeconomic differences. Thus, we provided normative data only…

Lange-Küttner, Christiane; Collins, Chenelle L.; Ahmed, Rahima K.; Fisher, Lauren E. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The relation between perceptual and conceptual knowledge is a longstanding research question in developmental psychology. Here we tested children's dependence on figurative information with a reaction time/accuracy task. A sample of 151 children from 5 to 10 years were assessed from two multicultural and multiracial schools in the London (UK)…

Tom Mercer; Anna-Maria Markova – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
While visual working memory has a short lifetime, residual representations can persist and disrupt currently maintained information. This phenomenon is known as proactive interference (PI), and the present study investigated whether the representations underpinning item-specific PI lose details over time. This would be expected if the memories…

The purpose of this study is to gain a deep understanding of kindergarten children's drawings as a form of documentation of their work, of their ability to notice and depict substantial details, as well as their understanding of how objects in the world "work". In the study, we examined drawings created by kindergarten children for…

Zhang, Ziyao; Carlisle, Nancy B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Can we use attentional control to ignore known distractor features? Providing cues before a visual search trial about an upcoming distractor color (negative cue) can lead to reaction time benefits compared with no cue trials. This suggests top-down control may use negative templates to actively suppress distractor features, a notion that…
