Abstract
Perceiving and reacting to multidimensional objects creates so-called event files via feature binding. Bogon, Thomaschke, and Dreisbach (2017) provided the first evidence for the integration of the feature stimulus duration into such event files. However, their paradigm did not allow for differentiation between stimulus-stimulus and stimulus-response binding. The present study used a classification task with many-to-one mappings to examine the integration of stimulus and response features independently. Experiment 1 used a pitch classification task. Participants had to respond with a left keypress to a low and a very low sine tone and with a right keypress to a high and very high sine tone. The four sine tones were presented for either a short or long duration, resulting in a total of eight stimuli. As an indicator of binding, we used partial repetition costs (better performance when both pitch/response and duration repeat or shift relative to partial repetitions). Results of Experiment 1 indicate stimulus-response binding and no stimulus-stimulus binding. In Experiment 2, instead of classifying the pitch of artificial sine tones, participants had to classify the type of musical instruments that produced the stimulus tones. Results replicated evidence for stimulus-response binding but also provided indications for stimulus-stimulus binding. Potential reasons for this result pattern and the relevance of duration in a musical context as one potential moderator of stimulus-stimulus bindings are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Promoting the interests of scientific psychology and its researchers, QJEP, the journal of the Experimental Psychology Society, is a leading journal with a long-standing tradition of publishing cutting-edge research. Several articles have become classic papers in the fields of attention, perception, learning, memory, language, and reasoning. The journal publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology (including comparative research). These include substantial experimental reports, review papers, rapid communications (reporting novel techniques or ground breaking results), comments (on articles previously published in QJEP or on issues of general interest to experimental psychologists), and book reviews. Experimental results are welcomed from all relevant techniques, including behavioural testing, brain imaging and computational modelling.
QJEP offers a competitive publication time-scale. Accepted Rapid Communications have priority in the publication cycle and usually appear in print within three months. We aim to publish all accepted (but uncorrected) articles online within seven days. Our Latest Articles page offers immediate publication of articles upon reaching their final form.
The journal offers an open access option called Open Select, enabling authors to meet funder requirements to make their article free to read online for all in perpetuity. Authors also benefit from a broad and diverse subscription base that delivers the journal contents to a world-wide readership. Together these features ensure that the journal offers authors the opportunity to raise the visibility of their work to a global audience.
