We also examined beauty as a control dimension. Although the rating task revealed no inversion effect, the 2AFC task showed poorer discrimination performance with inverted faces than with upright faces in both evaluations.

In particular, distances are perceived as farther apart when the time interval between them is longer, than when it is shorter. Such effects have been interpreted as a form of 'psychological relativity', analogous to Einstein's conception of a four-dimensional space-time. We investigated whether similar effects occur for stimulus features other than time, specifically stimulus intensity. We hypothesised that perceived distance would be increased when the two stimuli differed in intensity, since they would then be farther apart in a multi-dimensional feature space. Participants made verbal estimates of the perceived distance between two touches on their left hand. Intensity was manipulated such that both stimuli could be intense, both could be light, or one could be intense and the other light. We found no evidence for change in perceived tactile distance when stimuli intensity mis-matched. In contrast, there were clear effects of average stimulus intensity on perceived distance. Intense stimuli were judged as farther apart than light stimuli, and mixed stimuli were intermediate. These results are consistent with theories of general magnitude representation, which argue that multiple dimensions of magnitude are dependent on a shared underlying representation of domain-general magnitude.</p>","PeriodicalId":49708,"journal":{"name":"Perception","volume":" ","pages":"774-781"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10570415","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 the free comparison, participants can freely view two horizontally presented stimuli until they judge whether the two stimuli are the same or not. In the single sequential comparison, participants can only view the left-side stimuli one time, and when their eyes cross the invisible boundary at the center of the screen, the left-side stimuli disappear and the right-side stimuli appear. Participants need to judge whether the right-side stimuli are the same as the disappeared left-side stimuli. Eye movement data showed significant differences between the single sequential comparison and free comparison tasks that suggests the use of minimal working memory in free comparison.

We also examined whether this negative influence could be alleviated by using a transparent face mask instead of an opaque one (surgical mask). The performance on reading emotions was measured using emotion categorization and emotion intensity rating tasks for adult faces. As per the findings, the accuracy of emotion recognition in children was impaired for various facial expressions (disgust, fear, happy, neutral, sad, and surprise faces), except for angry faces. Conversely, in adults, it was impaired for a few facial expressions. The perceived intensity for happy faces with a surgical mask was weaker in both children and adults than in those without the mask. A negative influence of wearing surgical masks was generally not observed for faces wearing a transparent mask in both children and adults.

His departure leaves a void in the scientific community, and we will deeply miss his intellectual brilliance, eclectic personality, profound humility, and legendary laughter. Vincent was a haptician, captivated by our ability to perceive the world through the sense of touch. His research was a unique blend of engineering, psychology, psychophysics, neuroscience, and philosophy, focused in large part on the perceptual skin and human behavior. Vincent’s academic journey began as an undergraduate at Ecole Centrale of Nantes in France, where he earned his engineering degree in 1978. Subsequently, he pursued his PhD at LIMSI (“Laboratoire d’informatique pour la mécanique et les sciences de l’ingénieur” in Orsay, France) in 1981, focusing on real-time optimization computer programs for robotics control. Afterward, he secured two positions at Purdue University in the United States, first as a Postdoctoral Fellow and later as a Visiting Assistant Professor (1981–1983), collaborating with Professor Richard P. Paul on developing the first control library for advanced industrial robots and exploring force feedback integration. In 1983, he returned to France as a Research Officer (Chargé de Recherches) at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, working on trajectory planning and spatial reasoning. In 1987, Vincent joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University in Canada as an assistant, associate (1994), and then full professor (2006). From 2001 to 2004, he served as the Director of the McGill Center for Intelligent Machines. During his early years at McGill, his research centered on robot programming and control, 3-D imaging, computational geometry, spatial reasoning, computational architectures, and space and remote applications of robotics and telerobotics. His interests shifted, between 1992 and 1999, from robotics to the sense of touch, leading him to delve deeply into multidisciplinary research by integrating biology, psychophysics, neuroscience, philosophy, and design. At McGill University, Vincent earned international recognition for his groundbreaking work in robotics and haptics. In 2008, Vincent returned to France, where he held an international chair at ISIR (“Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique” in Paris) linked to the Pierre and Marie Curie University. He became one of the first French recipients of the European Research Council (ERC) advanced grant in 2009, followed by the prestigious ERC Proof of Concept Grant in 2014. Supported by a Leverhulme Trust fellowship, Vincent took a leave of absence between 2017 and 2018 to serve as a Professor of Tactile Perception and Technology at the School of Advanced Studies, University of London, UK. Simultaneously, Vincent cofounded Actronika, a Paris-based start-up dedicated to haptic technology. From 2016, he was passionately investing his time i","PeriodicalId":49708,"journal":{"name":"Perception","volume":"52 10","pages":"752-756"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10305797","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}

The present study verified the three-factor model in the discrimination task under the cue-target paradigm by manipulating the spatial location and nonspatial feature consistency of the cue and the target as well as the promotion or hindrance of attentional disengagement from the cued location with a central reorienting cue. The results indicated that the three factors of the three-factor model contributed to the measured IOR effect in the discrimination task. Interestingly, the IOR effect was stable when the cue and target were perfectly repeated and attention was maintained at the cued location, implying that detection cost was not a negligible factor.

These questions were examined in two eye-tracking experiments by systematically manipulating expression ambiguity and image quality in fear- and sad-happiness faces (Experiment 1) and by directly comparing anger-, fear-, sadness-, and disgust-happiness expressions (Experiment 2). We found that increasing expression ambiguity and degrading image quality induced a general negativity versus positivity bias in expression categorization. The degree of negativity bias, the associated reaction time and face-viewing gaze allocation were further manipulated by different expression combinations.
