However, odours are rarely encountered in isolation and thus, the brain must also separate distinct odour objects from complex backgrounds. While in vision, individual differences in scene analysis have been widely reported, to date, little attention has been paid to the cognitive processes underlying this olfactory ability. The aim of the present study was to determine whether local processing performance in visual tasks predicts participants' ability to identify component odours in multicomponent mixtures. Fifty-nine participants (F = 39), aged 16-55, completed two visual perception tasks, (Navon and Block Design), an odour-mixture task designed to test participants' ability to identify multi-component odour objects in binary/ternary mixtures and the Autism Quotient (AQ) Questionnaire, which measures autistic traits in the general population. While performance indices on neither visual task, nor scores on the AQ, were associated with odour mixture task performance, there was moderate evidence to support an association between reaction time on the Navon task and binary odour mixture task performance. These results provide insight into the cognitive processes underpinning olfactory scene analysis and support previous reports that faster processing speed is associated with superior selective attention.","PeriodicalId":49708,"journal":{"name":"Perception","volume":" ","pages":"408-430"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12086288/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143755525","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}

Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is a brain-based visual disorder caused by early neurological injury and maldevelopment of central visual processing pathways and areas. Individuals with CVI often present with a complex visual profile, including deficits related to higher-order visual processing. However, the impact of visual maldevelopment on imagery abilities in this population has not been extensively characterized. We used the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ) to investigate visual imagery abilities in a cohort of CVI participants (n = 25, mean age = 22.48 years ± 12.31 SD) compared to controls with neurotypical vision and development (n = 25, mean age = 22.88 years ± 4.94 SD). We found that individuals with CVI had significantly lower VVIQ scores (mean = 41.84 ± 18.61 SD) than controls (mean = 62.48 ± 13.07 SD), after controlling for age and verbal IQ level. Within the CVI group, visual imagery abilities were not significantly different when separated by baseline visual acuity, gestational status, or co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorder. These results suggest that impaired visual imagery may represent an important feature characterizing the complex visual profile of CVI.","PeriodicalId":49708,"journal":{"name":"Perception","volume":" ","pages":"441-452"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144041751","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}

Older adults rely on visual information for balance control, and those with a history of falls have been reported to exhibit higher visual dependence. Additionally, high visual dependence may affect velocity-related parameters, such as gait speed. However, whether visual dependence is related to specific measures of postural control in older adults remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between visual dependence and balance in older adults. This was a single-center, cross-sectional, observational study involving 50 healthy older adults with a mean age of 72.0 ± 4.6 years. Visual dependence was assessed by measuring the static and dynamic subjective visual vertical (SVV) using a smartphone-based virtual reality method. Balance function was assessed using stabilometry and the mini-balance evaluation systems test (Mini-BESTest). The main outcome was medial-lateral sway velocity. Multivariate analysis was performed with each balance function (Mini-BESTest score, sway path, amplitude, and mean sway velocity) as the dependent variable and age, height, static SVV, and visual dependence as the independent variables. The results indicated that visual dependence was significantly associated with medial-lateral mean sway velocity in the eyes-closed foam surface condition (β = 0.41, p = .011, R2 = 0.19). This suggests that older adults with high visual dependence may experience reduced static balance under conditions of limited visual and somatosensory inputs. These findings highlight the importance of considering visual dependence in balance assessment and rehabilitation programs for older adults with balance disorders.","PeriodicalId":49708,"journal":{"name":"Perception","volume":" ","pages":"3010066251342006"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144175507","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}

Theories in social and evolutionary psychology propose that the primary function of these practices is to create an appearance perceived more positively by others, ultimately resulting in more favorable outcomes in social, romantic, or professional relations. In two preregistered studies that improved upon and extended prior work, we tested the effect of popular types of minimally invasive facial aesthetic treatment on how people are perceived by others. Study 1 (2,720 raters, 114 targets) showed that treatment significantly increased perceived attractiveness (a 0.09-point change on a seven-point scale), but not perceived approachability (e.g., trustworthiness) or capability (e.g., competence). Study 2 (481 raters, 81 targets) showed that treatment significantly increased targets' desirability as a short-term romantic partner (a 0.10-point change on a seven-point scale) and as a platonic friend (a 0.08-point change on a seven-point scale), but not their desirability as a long-term romantic partner. Thus, our results suggest that a single session of minimally invasive facial aesthetic treatment leads to more positive perceptions on dimensions related to attractiveness, but these effects are relatively small.","PeriodicalId":49708,"journal":{"name":"Perception","volume":" ","pages":"3010066251337353"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144144187","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}

Crossmodal stimuli that fall within rather than outside an individual temporal binding window (TBW) are more likely to be bound into a multisensory percept. A number of studies have shown that a short perceptual training in which participants receive feedback on their responses in an audiovisual simultaneity judgment (SJ) task can substantially decrease the size of the TBW and hence increase crossmodal temporal acuity. Here we tested whether multisensory perceptual learning in the SJ task is specific for the spatial locations at which the audiovisual stimuli are presented during training. Participants received feedback about the correctness of their SJ responses for audiovisual stimuli which were presented in one hemifield only. The TBW was assessed separately for audiovisual stimuli in each hemifield before and one day after the training. In line with previous findings, the size of the TBW was significantly reduced after the training phase. Importantly, an equally strong reduction of TBW size was observed in both the trained and the untrained hemifield. Thus, multisensory temporal learning completely generalized to the untrained hemifield, suggesting that the improvement in crossmodal temporal acuity was mediated by higher, location-invariant processing stages. These findings have implications for the design of multisensory training protocols in applied settings such as clinical interventions by showing that training at multiple spatial locations might not be necessary to achieve robust improvements in crossmodal temporal acuity.","PeriodicalId":49708,"journal":{"name":"Perception","volume":" ","pages":"3010066251342010"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144112542","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}

However, if the face halves are misaligned, the component identities become easier to recognise. While the horizontal CFE - wherein the top and bottom halves of the face are aligned - has been extensively studied, the existence of a vertical CFE - involving the combination of left-right face halves - remains unclear. This study investigated the vertical CFE using composite stimuli created by pairing familiar and unfamiliar faces. Participants made familiarity judgements for aligned and misaligned vertical and horizontal composites. Familiarity judgements were made more accurately and with faster response times with misaligned compared to aligned composites. The magnitude of the vertical CFE was comparable to the horizontal CFE and was unaffected by identity priming or which half of the face was attended. However, the size of the CFE was reduced when attention was not directed to a specific face half. These findings suggest that both the vertical and horizontal CFE reflect a common mechanism for integrating facial information across the visual field, underscoring holistic processing as a fundamental process in face recognition.","PeriodicalId":49708,"journal":{"name":"Perception","volume":" ","pages":"3010066251340292"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144081649","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}
