If features of an event file repeat in a later episode, the whole previous event file is assumed to be retrieved and to affect the current action (so-called 'binding effects'). Feature binding and retrieval are considered to be fundamental processes in human action control. However, to date, it is not clear whether the concept of a reinitiating retrieval process, as opposed to the additional involvement of residual activity (as suggested by recent neurophysiological studies), provides a more accurate description of how previous formed bindings can influence current action. In this study, we investigated the short time window immediately following integration and its modulation on binding effects in three experiments. We measured response-response binding effects after 0, 100, 300, and 500 ms in an adapted response-response binding paradigm and measured distractor-response binding effects 0 and 500 ms after integration in an adapted distractor-response binding paradigm. We found evidence for binding effects even at response-stimulus intervals as short as 0 ms, both for response-response binding and distractor-response binding. Our findings suggest that the concept of residual activation seems to play an additional role next to the process of retrieval.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218251362823"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144699299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous studies have demonstrated an apparent ability to allocate attention in an uneven way to objects/regions in MOT, how such differential prioritisation comes about is still an open question. In this study, we investigated the role of eye movements in a MOT task where two targets varied in their likelihood of being queried for a motion direction estimate. As the priority of a target increased, participants fixated on or near the object more frequently and longer, and their direction estimates were more accurate. We explored the role of different tracking strategies (centroid vs target-switching), investigating how these are differentially employed depending on target priority. Our findings support the flexible deployment of attention in a graded manner and demonstrate that differential prioritisation primarily involves differential looking between targets.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218251362833"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144668148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that, if morphological structure is accessed after letter-position coding, then the orthographic disruption caused by letter transposition would affect priming more severely when transposed letters straddle morphemic boundaries than when they belong to the same morpheme. Results showed that Greek readers were able to recognise morphologically complex Greek target words when morphemes were disrupted by letter transpositions regardless of the position of transpositions (morpheme-internal, at morpheme edge, or across morphemic boundaries). Priming from the TL primes was significantly less than priming from intact morphological primes observed previously. The equal magnitude of processing costs incurred by transpositions in all positions indicates that any alteration of the internal structure of morphologically complex words is similarly detrimental, consistent with the important role of morphemes in a morphologically rich language. Results suggest that morphologically complex Greek words undergo a morphological decomposition process that interacts with orthographic TL effects, indicating that access to the internal structure of these words takes place early in visual word recognition, before letter position coding.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218251359787"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144626998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While physical fatigue is known to alter body weight perception, it remains unclear whether mental fatigue has a similar effect. This study tested the hypothesis that mental fatigue, like physical fatigue, would influence the recently identified perceptual bias of hand weight underestimation, where individuals perceive their hand as lighter than its actual weight. Twenty-four participants completed a validated mental fatigue induction task, followed by pre- and post-fatigue assessments of hand weight perception using a weight judgment paradigm. As expected, the fatigue task significantly increased subjective ratings of mental fatigue. However, contrary to the hypothesis, the degree of hand weight underestimation remained unchanged between pre- and post-fatigue sessions, a Bayesian analysis strongly supported the null hypothesis. These results suggest that mental fatigue, unlike physical fatigue, does not significantly alter sensory mechanisms underlying hand weight perception. This study underscores the distinct pathways through which physical and mental fatigue interact with perceptual processes.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218251361426"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144626997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence in support of AEIs for instructions that specify more complex rules is less consistent. Here, we investigated whether instructions communicating context-specific strategic control routines designed to reduce evidence accumulation from the target stimulus can affect AEIs in the NEXT paradigm (Meiran et al., 2015). In each mini-block, participants were first instructed on the S-R mappings that should be implemented in the two GO trials at the end of the mini-block. In the intervening NEXT trials (0-3 trials), participants responded to each stimulus with the same (e.g., left) NEXT response. Importantly, the instructions also indicated the probability that each stimulus would be presented during the critical GO trials (e.g., 90% versus 10%). We reasoned that this would strategically reduce the amount of information accumulated from the target stimulus prior to selecting a response, thereby reducing the magnitude of AEIs. GO performance was modulated by the context suggesting that the strategic aspects of the instructions had been implemented. However, AEIs were broadly consistent across contexts suggesting that the adopted strategy did not affect automatic behaviour. This pattern of results was consistent across three experiments (one preregistered) suggesting that complex instructions do not automatically trigger strategic control in dynamic environments.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218251360669"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144601318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this assumption neglects the importance of psychological processes that contribute to coalition formation, which is especially problematic in scenarios where economic motives of potential partners are (initially) indistinguishable. This research investigates the impact of one psychological process, visuo-spatial perspective-taking (VPT), on coalition formation. We hypothesized that adopting the perspective of a potential coalition partner increases the likelihood of forming a coalition with them, compared to partners viewed from an egocentric standpoint. Importantly, this is not because this person is economically more advantageous, but because perspective-taking increases liking for and similarity to others. These effects, however, stem from an embodied simulation of physical closeness that only some participants (embodiers) but not others (disembodiers) engage in, suggesting a moderation of this preference by perspective-taking strategy. Across five experiments (N = 2340), participants completed a VPT task before engaging in a hypothetical coalition formation negotiation with the targets presented during the VPT task. Meta-analytically, our data suggests that embodiers indeed showed increased liking and similarity after perspective-taking, while disembodiers did not. However, unexpectedly not only embodiers, but also disembodiers selected partners whose perspective they took more often as a coalition partner. We discuss potential explanations for this preference in disembodiers, implications of our work for theories of coalition formation, and for research on different strategies for perspective-taking.","PeriodicalId":20869,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"17470218251358231"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144584677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the first time, the Garner speeded classification paradigm was applied to assess the independence of age and facial identity processing. Across three experiments, participants made either age or facial identity judgements while both dimensions vary (Filtering) or only one dimension varies while the other remains constant (Baseline). Garner interferences, represented by slower response times for the Filtering condition compared to the Baseline condition, were recorded for both Experiments 1 (familiar, cropped, single-image stimuli) and 2 (unfamiliar, cropped, single-image stimuli). A weaker Garner interference was recorded for Experiment 3 (familiar, naturalistic, multi-image stimuli). Garner interference for the first two experiments is indicative of the shared route hypothesis for identity and age perception.

Across all three experiments (total n = 554) we did not observe any evidence of cueing enhanced attentional suppression. In Experiment 1 and Experiment 3, participant responses were slightly slower in the informative cue condition, suggesting that the cue itself captured attention when cue-type was interleaved and thus unpredictable trial-to-trial.

In this study, we tested a set of Chinese EM and EL words. Both conditions included positive and negative words. The study involved two tasks, an implicit task, in which emotional content was not relevant (lexical decision task, LDT), and an explicit task, in which the emotional content was relevant (affective categorisation task, ACT).
