Such learning supports item-specific control, the reactive triggering of control settings associated with predictive cues (e.g., high level of focus triggered by a cue predicting high attentional demands). Item-specific control is assumed to operate with a degree of automaticity that allows for efficient processing even in the presence of competing demands. In three experiments, we investigated whether the unpredictable appearance of another salient stimulus (external distractor) presented along with the predictive cue would interfere with the triggering of item-specific control settings. The first two blocks of each experiment (i.e., acquisition phase) allowed participants to learn associations between different pictures and their likelihood of conflict in a picture-word Stroop task without external distraction. In the last two blocks (i.e., test phase), we introduced a random visual distractor (Experiments 1 and 2) or a combined visual and auditory distractor (i.e., multisensory; Experiment 3), with Experiment 2 additionally manipulating the timing of the distractor onset. Overall, the item-specific proportion congruence effect remained intact in both distractor-present and distractor-absent trials in all experiments, suggesting that item-specific control is robust to the presence of external distraction. We consider the theoretical implications of the results, with a focus on the automaticity of item-specific control and future investigations of potential boundary conditions.

Given that size perception of body parts is computed with the highest accuracy for biological reasons, it is currently uncertain whether these are differently susceptible to illusory size misperceptions, such as those induced by adaptation paradigms. We induced the Uznadze illusion (i.e., a size-contrast adaptation aftereffect) to investigate its effect over stimuli depicting body parts (hands) or nonbody stimuli (i.e., abstract shapes). In three experiments, pairs of hands or nonhands were presented in separate sessions. After repeated exposure to two stimuli with different sizes, one larger and one smaller, participants judged the size of two new stimuli. In Experiments 1 and 2, we found a stronger effect for hands than nonhands. In Experiment 3, we enhanced the similarity between hand and nonhand stimuli, and we confirmed a stronger adaptation for hands, but only when participants performed the task with nonhand stimuli in the first session. These results indicate that visual hand stimuli would be more susceptible to size adaptation, suggesting that the identity and meaning attributed to the stimulus can influence the perceptual aftereffect.

In this study, we studied illusory faces in a rapid serial visual presentation paradigm over three experiments to explore the detectability of illusory faces under various task conditions and presentation speeds. The first experiment revealed the rapid and reliable detection of illusory faces even with only a glimpse, suggesting that face pareidolia arises from an error in rapidly detecting faces. Experiment 2 demonstrated that illusory facial structures within food items did not interfere with the recognition of the object's veridical identity, affirming that examples of face pareidolia maintain their objecthood. Experiment 3 directly compared behavioral responses to illusory faces under different task conditions. The data indicate that, with extended viewing time, the object identity dominates perception. From a behavioral perspective, the findings revealed that illusory faces have two distinct identities as both faces and objects that may be processed in parallel. Future research could explore the neural representation of these unique stimuli under varying circumstances and attentional demands, providing deeper insights into the encoding of visual stimuli for detection and recognition.

Even when irrelevant or uninformative, location information can influence object identity judgments. When two sequential stationary objects occupy the same location, people are faster and more accurate to respond (sensitivity effects) and are more likely to judge the objects as identical (spatial congruency bias [SCB]). Other paradigms using moving objects highlight spatiotemporal contiguity's role in object processing. To bridge these gaps, we conducted two preregistered experiments asking how moving objects' locations (trajectories) affect identity judgments, both at fixation and across eye movements. In Experiment 1, subjects fixated a constant location and judged whether two sequentially presented moving stimuli were the same or different object identities. The first stimulus moved linearly from behind one occluder to another. The second stimulus reappeared (still moving) continuing along the same spatiotemporal trajectory (Predictable trajectory), or from the same initial location (Same Exact trajectory), or a different location (Different trajectory). We found the strongest sensitivity and SCB for Same Exact trajectory, with a smaller but significant SCB for Predictable trajectory. In Experiment 2, subjects performed a saccade during occlusion, revealing a robust SCB for Same Exact trajectory in retinotopic coordinates, with a smaller SCB for Predictable trajectory in both retinotopic and spatiotopic coordinates. Our findings strengthen prior reports that object-location binding is primarily retinotopic after both object and eye movements, but the presence of concurrent weak SCB effects along predictable and spatiotopic trajectories suggests more ecologically relevant information may also be incorporated when objects are moving more continuously.

We investigated how people searched for interacting people in a crowd, and how the eccentricity of the target affected this search (Experiments 1-3). Participants briefly viewed crowded arrays and had to search for an interacting dyad (two bodies face-to-face) among noninteracting dyads (back-to-back distractors), or vice versa, with the target presented in the attended central location or at a peripheral location. With central targets, we found a search asymmetry, whereby interacting people among noninteracting people were detected better than noninteracting people among interacting people. With peripheral targets, the advantage disappeared, or even tended to reverse in favor of noninteracting dyads. In Experiments 4-5, we asked whether the search asymmetry generalized to object pairs whose spatial relations did or did not form a functionally interacting set (a computer screen above a keyboard vs. a computer screen below a keyboard). We found no advantage for interacting over noninteracting sets either in central or peripheral locations for objects, but, if anything, evidence for the opposite effect. Thus, the effect of relational information on visual search is contingent on both stimulus category and attentional focus: The presentation of social interaction-but not of nonsocial interaction-at the attended (central) location readily captures an individual's attention.

A total of 138 participants completed nine psychoacoustic tasks, as well as the Musical Ear Test (melody and rhythm subtests) and the Goldsmiths Musical Sophistication Index. We also measured and controlled for demographics, general cognitive abilities, and personality traits. The psychoacoustic tasks assessed discrimination thresholds for pitch and temporal perception (both assessed with three tasks), and for timbre, intensity, and backward masking (each assessed with one task). Both music training and melody perception predicted better performance on the pitch-discrimination tasks. Rhythm perception was associated with better performance on several temporal and nontemporal tasks, although none had unique associations when the others were held constant. Self-reported musical abilities and behaviors were associated with performance on one of the temporal tasks: duration discrimination.

However, unlike naming studies, categorization studies have shown inconsistent results. Recently, Wöhner, Luckow, et al. (2024) replicated the inconsistent pattern in blocked categorization in a within-participant and within-item design. Pictures were presented in a semantically homogeneous or heterogeneous context. In the homogeneous context, there was interference for naming and facilitation for naturalness categorization, but no context effect for size categorization. The authors concluded that the inconsistent categorization findings in their own and previous studies could be due either to the use of tasks based on different kinds of features (stored in semantic memory [natural vs. man-made] vs. ad hoc [smaller vs. larger than a standard]) or to a difference in the response mapping for the exemplars from the semantic categories creating the context (convergent vs. divergent). The present study again contrasted the Wöhner, Luckow et al. tasks, but used materials that resulted in convergent response mapping for both categorization tasks. There was semantic interference in naming and semantic facilitation in both naturalness and size categorization. This pattern suggests that convergent response mapping, not the use of a task based on a stored semantic feature, is critical for obtaining facilitation in blocked semantic categorization. Our result provides further support for the notion that semantic interference in blocked word production has its locus at the lexical level and its origin at the semantic level. This conclusion does not depend any longer on data from only a single categorization task.

Some studies found that an item in the focus of attention is better protected from interference than other items in working memory. Others have found that a prioritized item is particularly vulnerable to interference. These two groups of studies have used different ways to study information in the focus of attention in working memory. Protection for the prioritized item has been found when a retro-cue has been used to direct attention to this item, whereas particular vulnerability has been observed for the last-presented item of a serially presented list, which is often assumed to remain in the focus of attention during the retention interval. As these two methods might represent distinct forms of prioritization, we examined whether these two prioritization modes result in opposing results. To do so, we sequentially presented four to-be-memorized colored shapes and probed memory with a recall task. We varied the presentation of interfering visual stimuli following the last list item. In half of the trials, we indicated which item was most likely to be probed using a retro-cue (Experiments 1 and 5) or a precue (Experiments 2-4). We observed some evidence for the last-presented item being particularly vulnerable to visual interference but only in specific task situations. Generally, we observed that memory items were equally vulnerable to visual interference regardless of their priority state in working memory and regardless of the prioritization mode used.

The probe stimulus was either preceded by a valid or neutral central arrow cue (Experiment 1) or valid or invalid central arrow cue (Experiment 2) to manipulate endogenous attention. Eye movements were monitored with an eye tracker. In both experiments, subjective duration decreased with increasing stimulus eccentricity, consistent with earlier findings. Reaction times were lower for valid cues in both experiments, indicating that the cue was successful in shifting attention. While there was no significant difference in perceived duration between valid and neutral cues (Experiment 1), perceived duration was lower for invalid cues compared to valid cues (Experiment 2). In both experiments, there was no interaction between eccentricity and cue. The results are discussed in the context of the underlying processes involved in temporal processing and the notion that perceived duration does not differ between attention distributed over the screen or directed toward the peripheral stimulus, but directing attention away from the stimulus shortens perceived duration.
