When choosing between two different boxes endorsed by groups of equal sizes, both children (Experiments 1-3) and adults (Experiment 6) tend to choose boxes endorsed by informants with visual access to the boxes over informants with hearsay. However, children's choices were biased toward the larger group when the size of the group conflicted with the quality of the source of the groups' information (Experiments 4 and 5), while adults more often chose the option endorsed by the group with the higher quality information (Experiment 6). Children were more likely to conform to a majority opinion when compared with both adults and to a normative computational model that endorses a group proportional to the number of independent, direct observations made by that group's informants. These findings suggest that, while adults balance the size of a majority with the quality of the informants' information source, preschoolers can evaluate when groups differ in the source of their information but may assume that the presence of a majority endorsing an option is inherently informative over and above the information source group members' testimony relied on.

However, the underlying cognitive mechanisms of this effect of overall value (OV) on response times (RT) remains controversial, partially due to inconsistent findings of OV effects on accuracy but also due to the lack of process-tracing studies testing this effect. Here, we set out to fill this gap by testing and modeling the influence of OV on choices, RT, and eye movements in both perceptual and preferential decisions in a preregistered eye-tracking experiment (N = 61). Across perceptual and preferential tasks, we observed significant and consistently negative correlations between OV and RT, replicating previous work. Accuracy tended to increase with OV, reaching significance in preferential choices only. Eye-tracking analyses revealed a reduction of different gaze-related effects under high OV: a reduced tendency to choose the longer fixated option in perceptual choice and a reduced tendency to choose the last fixated option in preferential choice. Modeling these data with the attentional drift-diffusion model showed that the nonfixated option value was discounted least in the high-OV condition, confirming that higher OV might mitigate the impact of gaze on choices. Our results suggest that OV jointly affects behavior and gaze influences and offer a mechanistic account for the puzzling phenomenon that decisions between options of higher OV tend to be faster, but not less accurate.

Yet, it is unclear how exposure refines internal perceptual representations of faces to give rise to such behavioral effects. To address this issue, we investigated short- and long-term experienced stimulus history on face processing. Participants performed same-different judgments in a serial discrimination task where two consecutive faces were drawn from a distribution of morphed faces. The use of stimulus statistics was measured by testing the gravitation of representations toward the experienced mean (regression-to-the-mean), and the dynamic of the biases was tested by investigating trial-by-trial performance. Own-race and own-age faces were tested alongside other-race and other-age faces employing a within-subject design. Results demonstrated greater regression biases in other-race and other-age faces than in own-race and own-age faces. Perceptual narrowing, measured by the ability to form and use the representation of the overall mean of the nonnative faces, varied with proficiency levels, with only those with low proficiency in face recognition showing the use of overall stimulus history for other-race faces. In contrast, the use of stimulus history for other-age faces was similarly affected by statistics in the low- and high-proficiency groups. The results demonstrate that narrowing is associated with specialization levels occurring more robustly for other-race faces, for which exposure is limited during sensitive periods in development.

One aspect of appearance that impacts perceptions of attractiveness is facial femininity/masculinity (sexual dimorphism). However, extant research has focused primarily on White, Western, heterosexual participants' preferences for femininity/masculinity in White faces, limiting generalizability. Indeed, recent research indicates that these preferences vary by culture, and other work finds differences between gay/lesbian and heterosexual individuals. Aspects of identity, such as culture and sexual orientation, do not exist in isolation from one another but rather intersect, leaving a critical gap in understanding. Our research therefore bridged across these hitherto separate areas of inquiry to provide a more comprehensive understanding of facial femininity/masculinity preferences. We tested how White British and East Asian Japanese individuals' culture and sexual orientation (including, crucially, bisexual individuals) predict their femininity/masculinity preferences for White and East Asian women's and men's faces, using two experimental tasks (forced-choice, interactive). Results show that individuals' culture and sexual orientation consistently interact to predict their preferences for femininity/masculinity in women's and men's faces, and we furthermore reveal bisexual individuals' preferences to differ from those of other sexual orientations. We also find differences between experimental tasks, with greater preferences for femininity emerging in the interactive task compared to the forced-choice task. Altogether, our findings highlight the importance of considering intersecting identities, consequences of methods of measurement, and shortcomings of extant explanations for preferences for facial femininity/masculinity.

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.

These experiences could be due in part to a perceived disconnect between their own and White people's views on race. In the current research (N = 1,470 Black Americans), we developed and tested a new scale to capture this potential mechanism-racial shared reality (RSR)-which we conceptualize as Black Americans' perceived consensus with White Americans about race and racism. First, we demonstrated the RSR scale's validity and reliability (Studies 1 and 2a), including its consistency across time (Study 2b). We also showed the scale's predictive validity. Specifically, RSR uniquely predicted Black Americans' general interaction experiences with White people (e.g., identity-safety; Study 2b) as well as their expectations for feeling understood when disclosing a personal experience of racial bias (Study 3). These patterns held even when controlling for established predictors of interaction quality, including perceptions of White individuals' prejudice, similarity, and general shared reality. Finally, in the context of an anticipated live interaction with a White person about racial profiling, we found that a cue intended to promote identity-safety-a White person's racially diverse (vs. all White) friendship network-was effective in part because it boosted Black individuals' felt RSR with their White partner (Study 4). Together, this work demonstrates that RSR is critical for understanding Black individuals' experiences discussing race with White people and provides a new tool for assessing RSR in future research.

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. However, the Evaluative Priming Task and single-target measures of implicit bias like the Single-Target Implicit Association Test were much less sensitive to change.
