Here, we investigated whether saccade target status affects the reference frame of trans-saccadic object-location binding. Previous studies examining the reference frame of object-location binding showed that peripheral, nonsaccade target objects are naturally bound to retinotopic, not spatiotopic, coordinates. But real-world saccades are generally directed toward objects of interest: Might trans-saccadic object-location binding occur in more ecologically relevant spatiotopic coordinates for saccade target objects? We adopted a modified spatial congruency bias paradigm, in which participants were asked to judge if two objects have the same or different identity. A saccade between object presentations was directed either toward the first object's location (saccade target condition) or to another location (saccade-elsewhere and saccade-away conditions). Across three preregistered experiments, we found primarily retinotopic object-location binding in the saccade-elsewhere and saccade-away conditions, but coexisting spatiotopic and retinotopic binding in the saccade target condition. The results indicate that saccade target objects can be additionally bound to spatiotopic coordinates across saccades and that it is the saccade target status specifically that allows an object to be additionally bound to spatiotopic coordinates. Overall, these findings highlight the importance of saccade target objects in maintaining stability across saccades, allowing for object-location binding to be encoded and/or remapped in stable spatiotopic coordinates.

Many people in the general population experience similar conflicts, albeit to a lesser extent-including during déjà vu, in which one is struck by the feeling that they have lived through the present moment before, despite not being able to pinpoint why or knowing that this cannot be true. The cognitive processes underlying these conflicts between reality and experience in psychosis and the general population remain poorly understood. Identifying shared cognitive correlates of psychosis-like symptoms and déjà vu is a compelling starting place for better understanding how such conflicts arise. Here, we hypothesized that psychosis-like symptoms and déjà vu might be related to breakdowns in memory for when events happened. Across two preregistered experiments (N = 500), we found that members of the general population endorsing higher levels of psychoticism (i.e., paranoia, positive, and disorganized symptoms) judged correctly recognized stimuli to have occurred more recently in time relative to ground truth. A similar illusion of recency was apparent for falsely recognized stimuli. These same participants were less sensitive to actual stimulus recency when making recognition memory judgments, exhibiting reduced differentiation between recently presented and novel stimuli. Similar patterns were found in association with déjà vu, but not negative (i.e., mood-related) symptoms, suggesting specificity to uncanny subjective experiences. These findings suggest that a \"hyper-recency\" bias in memory-wherein remotely encountered events are perceived as having happened recently-might represent one salient source of conflict between experience and reality.

Although many objects provide multisensory information, it remains unknown how humans use multisensory information to localize moving objects, and how this depends on expected sensory interference (e.g., occlusion). In four experiments, we systematically investigated localization for auditory, visual, and audiovisual targets (AV). Performance for audiovisual targets was compared to performance predicted by maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). In Experiment 1A, moving targets were occluded by an audiovisual occluder, and their final locations had to be inferred from target speed and occlusion duration. Participants relied exclusively on the visual component of the audiovisual target, even though the auditory component demonstrably provided useful location information when presented in isolation. In contrast, when a visual-only occluder was used in Experiment 1B, participants relied exclusively on the auditory component of the audiovisual target, even though the visual component demonstrably provided useful location information when presented in isolation. In Experiment 2, although localization estimates were in line with MLE predictions, no multisensory precision benefits were found when participants localized moving audiovisual target. In Experiment 3, a substantial multisensory benefit was found when participants localized static audiovisual target, showing near-MLE integration. In sum, observers use both hearing and vision when localizing static objects, but use only unisensory input when localizing moving objects and predicting motion under occlusion. Moreover, observers can flexibly prioritize one sense over the other, in anticipation of modality-specific interference.

Changes in behavior over time often take a similar form: monotonically decreasing or increasing toward an asymptote. Whether these behavioral dynamics are the object of study or a nuisance variable, their inclusion in models of data makes conclusions more complete, robust, and well-specified, and can contribute to theory development. Here, we demonstrate that asymptotic regression is a relatively simple tool that can be applied to repeated-measures data to estimate three parameters: starting point, rate of change, and asymptote. Each of these parameters has a meaningful interpretation in terms of ecological validity, behavioral dynamics, and performance limits, respectively. They can also be used to help decide how many trials to include in an experiment and as a principled approach to reducing noise in data. We demonstrate the broad utility of asymptotic regression for modeling the effect of the passage of time within a single trial and for changes over trials of an experiment, using two existing data sets and a set of new visual search data. An important limit of asymptotic regression is that it cannot be applied to data that are stationary or change nonmonotonically. But for data that have performance changes that progress steadily toward an asymptote, as many behavioral measures do, it is a simple and powerful tool for describing those changes.

We found that interventions were most effective at reducing implicit weight biases when they instructed people to practice an explicit rule linking fat people with good things and thin people with bad things. Interventions that were more indirect or relied on associative learning tended to be ineffective. We also found that change in implicit bias on one implicit measure often generalized to other implicit measures.

We investigated double standards in judging collective action-that is, whether observers judge the same protest actions to be more acceptable depending on who the protesters are and what they are protesting. In two studies, we used item response theory to develop an instrument of 25 controversial protest actions to measure where people draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable forms of collective action. In three preregistered experiments (N = 2,776), we found no consistent evidence for ingroup bias in terms of social class when judging protests for workers' rights (Experiment 1), in terms of race when judging protests for and against defunding the police (Experiment 2), and in terms of gender when judging protests for and against restricting abortion (Experiment 3). Instead, we found that progressive participants (Experiments 1-3) who rejected system-justifying beliefs (Experiments 1 and 2) considered the same protest actions more acceptable when a cause aligned with their ideological orientation (for workers' rights, for defunding the police, against restricting abortion) than when it did not (against defunding the police, for restricting abortion). Conservative participants considered the same actions somewhat more acceptable when protesters supported, rather than opposed, restricting abortion (Experiment 3) but considered all protest actions, for and against defunding the police, equally unacceptable (Experiment 2). Our findings have theoretical and practical implications for understanding the often-divided response to social movements.

In contrast, parallel models assume that by default planning of the next text unit is performed in parallel with previous execution. We instantiated these two views as Bayesian mixed-effects models across six sets of keystroke data from child and adult writers composing different types of multisentence text. We modeled interkey intervals with a single distribution, hypothesized by the serial processing account, and with a two-distribution mixture model that is hypothesized by the parallel processing account. We analyzed intervals occurring before sentence, before word, and within word. Model comparisons demonstrated strong evidence in favor of the parallel view across all data sets. When pausing occurred, sentence-initial interkeystroke intervals were longer than word-initial pauses. This is consistent with the idea that edges of larger linguistic units are associated with higher level planning. However, we found-across populations-that interkey intervals at word and even at sentence boundaries were often too brief to plausibly represent time to plan what was written next. Our results cannot be explained by the serial processing but are in line with the parallel view of multisentence text composition.

This study sought to understand the effects of two common IER strategies (corumination, codistraction) by comparing them with each other and their intrapersonal counterparts (rumination, distraction) on negative and positive affect, relationship quality and closeness, and biological stress responses (i.e., cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase [sAA]). Participants completed the Fast Friends paradigm and then privately recalled a stressful event. Participants were then randomized into one of four ER groups: rumination, distraction, corumination, or codistraction. Affect, relationship quality, closeness, cortisol, and sAA were measured throughout the study session and during a 40-min post-ER recovery period. Interestingly, the ER groups differed in affect and biological recovery from stress, but not in relationship quality or closeness. Specifically, distraction facilitated the greatest decline in negative affect during the ER induction, but negative affect decline was greater in rumination and corumination than in distraction during the recovery period. Additionally, both IER groups showed increased sAA levels during the ER induction, but sAA levels showed a greater decline in the IER than in intrapersonal ER groups during the recovery period. This study highlights the nuanced effects of intrapersonal versus IER strategies and thus informs approaches to modulate negative affect and biological markers of stress when facing stressful events.

Of particular note, many studies (along with national polls) have shown that the threat of Islamist fundamentalism increases the appeal of conservativism. However, there are some important-and unresolved-questions regarding these threat-driven \"shifts to the right.\" Our primary focus was on the role of emotion. Are these conservative shifts due to the activation of fear, as long assumed by researchers in this area? Or might other emotions, such as anger, play the more central role? We also sought additional clarity on the relative breadth of these ideological shifts. When such threats are salient, is their impact relatively narrow, that is, constrained to political preferences specifically linked to terrorism? Or do these effects generalize to relatively distal political preferences, such as those related to abortion or affirmative action? This article proposes and tests an integrative model stipulating that (a) anger plays the primary role in driving these shifts and that (b) these anger-driven shifts are relatively narrow. Across three experiments, two of which were preregistered (total N = 2,395), we found strong support for both predictions. We discuss the implications of these findings for several well-known models in the social and political psychology literature. Our work also considers contrasts between the dynamics triggered by these acts of terrorism and their relation to other threats, including environmental disasters as well as mass shootings.
