These age differences are consistent with the hypothesis that older adults sample diagnostic face information less efficiently, or have higher levels of internal noise, compared to younger adults. The current experiments assessed the relative contributions of efficiency and internal noise to age differences in face discrimination using the external noise masking and double-pass response consistency paradigms. Experiment 1 measured discrimination thresholds for faces embedded in several levels of static white noise, and the resulting threshold-vs.-noise curves were used to estimate calculation efficiency and equivalent input noise: older observers had lower efficiency and higher equivalent input noise than younger observers. Experiment 2 presented observers with two identical sequences of faces embedded in static white noise to measure the association between response accuracy and response consistency and estimate the internal:external (i/e) noise ratio for each observer. We found that i/e noise ratios did not differ significantly between groups. These results suggest that age differences in face discrimination are due to differences in calculation efficiency and additive internal noise, but not to age differences in multiplicative internal noise.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139092361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In one of the few studies of spatial working memory, <span>Schneegans and Bays (2016)</span> report that memory guided pointing responses show a monotonic decrease in precision as set size increases, consistent with resource models. Here we report two conceptual replications of this study that use mouse responses rather than pointing responses. Overall results are consistent with the resource model, as there was an exponential increase in localisation error and monotonic increases in the probability of misbinding and guessing with increases in set size. However, an unexpected result of Experiment One was that, unlike <span>Schneegans and Bays (2016)</span>, imprecision did not increase between set sizes of 2 and 8. Experiment Two replicated this effect and ruled out the possibility that the invariance of imprecision at set sizes greater than 2 was a product of oculomotor strategies during recall. We speculate that differences in imprecision are related to additional visuomotor transformations required for memory-guided mouse localisation compared to memory-guided manual pointing localisation.

The latter are much easier to detect when presented in phase with one another than when presented 180° out of phase, although out-of-phase modulations can also be detected given sufficient amplitude. This result supports the existence of two detection mechanisms: one that is excited by both density modulations and contrast modulations (quiescent when those modulations are presented 180° out of phase) and another that is relatively insensitive to either density modulations or contrast modulations (thus remaining stimulated regardless of phase angle). We investigate whether the mechanism responsible for detecting out-of-phase modulations depends on high-level computations (downstream from the confluence of monocular signals) or whether both mechanisms are situated at the monocular level of visual processing. Specifically, density-modulated and/or contrast-modulated stimuli were presented monocularly (i.e., to the same eye) or dichoptically (i.e., to opposite eyes). Out-of-phase modulations of density were much easier to detect when presented dichoptically. A dichoptic advantage was also found for out-of-phase density and contrast modulations. These dichoptic advantages imply conscious access to a mechanism at the monocular level of processing. When density modulations were presented dichoptically, 180° out of phase, detection thresholds were highest. Consequently, a mechanism with binocular input must also contribute to the detection of these modulations. We describe a minimal, image-based model for these results that contains one monocular computation and one binocular computation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0042698923001712/pdfft?md5=6c047cb46e1bf27dd66e8b51808a9552&pid=1-s2.0-S0042698923001712-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139033948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most investigations and theories are based on sparse displays consisting of a target and at most a handful of flanker objects. Recent findings suggest that the laws thought to govern crowding may not hold for densely cluttered displays, and that grouping and nearest neighbour effects may be more important. Here we present a computational model that accounts for crowding effects in both sparse and dense displays. The model is an adaptation and extension of an earlier model that has previously successfully accounted for spatial clustering, numerosity and object-based attention phenomena. Our model combines grouping by proximity and similarity with a nearest neighbour rule, and defines crowding as the extent to which target and flankers fail to segment. We show that when the model is optimized for explaining crowding phenomena in classic, sparse displays, it also does a good job in capturing novel crowding patterns in dense displays, in both existing and new data sets. The model thus ties together different principles governing crowding, specifically Bouma’s law, grouping, and nearest neighbour similarity effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0042698923001694/pdfft?md5=42f05d492b3fe1773dd3ba1ed592ec18&pid=1-s2.0-S0042698923001694-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139031236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In visual aging research, cross-sectional studies have repeatedly found that healthy older adults’ performance is strongly deteriorated in most visual tests compared to young adults. However, also within the healthy older population, there is no evidence for a visual common factor. To investigate whether the weak between-tests correlations are due to fluctuations in individual performance throughout time, we conducted a longitudinal study. Healthy older adults performed a battery of eight visual tests, with two re-tests after approximately four and seven years. Pearson’s, Spearman’s and intraclass correlations of most visual tests were significant across the three testing, indicating that the tests are reliable and individual differences are stable across years.

In each trial, a unisensory visual stimulus, unisensory sound, or bimodal audio-visual stimulus with a duration of 200–800 ms (probe stimulus) was presented at the saccade target location and temporally around the offset of the saccade, followed by a unisensory visual or auditory standard stimulus for a fixed 500 ms. Participants were required to identify which of the two stimuli (probe or standard) presented in the target modality (visual or auditory) was perceived as longer. The results showed that no saccadic chronostasis was observed in the auditory modality, regardless of whether the sound was presented alone or synchronously accompanied by a visual stimulus. Interestingly, the magnitude of the saccadic chronostasis illusion was reduced by the synchronously presented sound. Moreover, the combined effect of the saccade and sound on visual time perception fits well with the standard scalar model, and the weight of the cross-modal effect was higher than that of saccadic visual time dilation.
