However, electroencephalography studies have found that the process of mental rotation continues after response selection has been carried out, casting doubt on the interpretation of RT slopes as measures of the speed of mental rotation. This study made use of electroencephalography techniques to directly capture individual differences in the speed of mental rotation and assess their association with visual-spatial abilities.

(The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2023-76385-001.) Many claims have been made about links between musical expertise and language ability. Rhythm ability, in particular, has been shown to predict phonological, grammatical, and second-language (L2) abilities, whereas music training often predicts reading and speech-perception skills. Here, we asked whether musical expertise-musical ability and/or music training-relates to L2 (English) abilities of Portuguese native speakers. Participants (<i>N</i> = 154) rated their L2 ability on seven 7-point scales, one each for speaking, reading, writing, comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and accent. They also completed a test of general cognitive ability, an objective test of musical ability with melody and rhythm subtests, and a questionnaire that measured music training and other aspects of musical behaviors. L2 ability correlated positively with education and cognitive ability but not with music training. It also had no association with musical ability or with self-reports of musical behaviors. Moreover, Bayesian analyses provided evidence for the <i>null</i> hypotheses (i.e., no link between L2 and rhythm ability, no link between L2 and years of music lessons). In short, our findings-based on participants' self-reports of L2 ability-raise doubts about proposed associations between musical and second-language abilities, which may be limited to specific populations or measures.

Here, we investigated whether this learned suppression resulting from a spatial distractor imbalance transfers to a completely different search task that does not contain any distractors. Observers performed the additional singleton task and learned to suppress the location that was likely to contain a color singleton distractor. Within a block, the additional singleton task would randomly switch to a T-among-L task where observers searched in parallel (Experiment 1) or serially (Experiment 2) for a T among Ls. The upcoming search was either unpredictable (Experiment 1/2A) or cued (Experiment 1/2B). The results show that there was transfer of learning from one to the other task as the learned suppression stayed in place after the switch regardless of whether the T-among-L task was performed via parallel or serial search. Moreover, cueing that the task would switch had no effect on performance. The current findings indicate that implicit learned biases are rather inflexible and remain in place even when the task and the required search strategy are dramatically different and even when participants can anticipate that a change in the search required is imminent. This transfer of the suppression to a different task is consistent with the notion that suppression is proactively applied. Because the location is already suppressed proactively, that is, before display onset, regardless which display and task is presented, the suppressed location competes less for attention than all other locations.

Previous research found that the illusion's strength varies with the perceived objecthood of the display. We tested whether objecthood alone determines the strength of the visual illusion or if low-level factors separable from objecthood also play a role. In Experiments 1-2, we varied low-level features to assess their impact on the warping illusion. We found that the warping illusion is equally strong for a variety of shapes but varies with the elements by which shape is defined. Shapes composed of continuous edges produced larger warping effects than shapes defined by disconnected elements. In Experiment 3, we varied a display's objecthood while holding low-level features constant. Displays with matched low-level features produced warping effects of the same size even when the perceived unity of the elements in the display varied. In Experiments 4-6, we tested whether displays with low-level features predicted to be important in spatial warping produced the visual illusion even when the display weakly configured into a single object. Results showed that the presence of low-level features like contour solidity and convexity determined warping effect sizes over and above what could be accounted for by the display's perceived objecthood. Our findings challenge the view that the spatial warping illusion is solely object-based. Other factors like the solidity of contours and contours' position relative to reference dots appear to play separate and important roles in determining warping effect sizes.

These correspondences can be probed in the speeded classification task where they tend to produce congruency effects. This study aimed to replicate and extend previous work conducted by Marks (1987, Experiment 3, <i>Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance</i>, Vol. 13, No. 3, 384-394) which demonstrated a crossmodal correspondence between auditory and visual intensity attributes. Experiment 1 successfully replicates Marks' original finding that performance in a brightness classification task is affected by whether the loudness of a concurrently presented auditory distractor matches the brightness of the visual target. Furthermore, in line with the original study, we found that this effect was absent in a lightness classification task. In Experiment 2, we demonstrate that loudness-brightness correspondence is robust even when the exact stimulus input changes. This finding suggests that there is a context-dependent mapping between loudness and brightness levels, rather than an absolute mapping between any particular intensity levels. Finally, exploratory analysis using the diffusion model for conflict tasks indicated that evidence from the task-irrelevant modality generates a burst of weak, short-lived automatic activation that can bias decision-making in difficult tasks, but not in easy tasks. Our results provide further evidence for the existence of a flexible crossmodal correspondence between brightness and loudness, which might be helpful in determining one's distance to a stimulus source during the early stages of multisensory integration.

Specifically, reactive control, which is recruited in response to stimulus or contextual features, is theorized to be deployed automatically, and not depend on attentional resources. Here, we investigated whether people avoided implementing reactive control in three experiments. In all, participants performed a Stroop task in which certain items were mostly incongruent (MI), that is, associated with a high likelihood of conflict (triggering a focused control setting). Other items were mostly congruent, that is, associated with a low likelihood of conflict (triggering a relaxed control setting). Experiment 1 demonstrated that these control settings transfer to a subsequent unbiased transfer phase. In Experiments 2-3, we used a demand selection task to investigate whether people would avoid choice options that yielded items that were previously MI. In all, participants continued to retrieve focused control settings for previously MI items, but they did not avoid them in the demand selection task. Critically, we only found demand avoidance when there was an objective difference in demand between options.

In six experiments, we describe the relationship between social attributions (dominance and trustworthiness) and the motion and apparent intent of a perceived person. We first show strong correspondence between judgments of photos and avatars of the same people (Experiment 1). Avatars were rated as more dominant and trustworthy when walking toward the viewer than when stationary (Experiment 2). Furthermore, avatars approaching the viewer were rated as more dominant than those avoiding (walking past) the viewer, or remaining stationary (Experiment 3). Trustworthiness was increased by movement, but not affected by approaching/avoiding paths. Surprisingly, dominance ratings increased both when avatars were approaching and being approached (Experiments 4-6), independently of agency. However, diverging movement (moving backward) reduced dominance ratings-again independently of agency (Experiment 6). These results demonstrate the close link between dominance judgments and approach and show the updatable nature of first impressions-their formation depended on the immediate dynamic context in a more subtle manner than previously suggested.

A prompt cue indicated the to-be-ignored distractor color for each trial. Participants needed to use this cue to know which of two target shapes to respond to. To assess proactive suppression of the cued distractor color, we presented a probe letter recall task on a minority (25%) of the trials. A letter appeared inside each of the six shapes of the search array and participants recalled as many letters as they could. When the to-be-ignored color was fixed in Experiment 1, probe recall accuracy was lower for probe letters inside to-be-ignored-color distractors than target-color distractors, known as the probe suppression effect. However, when the prompted to-be-ignored color varied from trial to trial, the probe suppression effect disappeared, regardless of whether the prompt was a colored circle (Experiment 2) or a colored word (Experiment 3). Experiment 4 tested the search and destroy hypothesis by shortening the search display duration from 200 to 50 ms. No capture effect by the to-be-ignored color was evident, suggesting that participants did not first search for the to-be-ignored color, prior to suppressing it. We conclude that when rejection of a distractor color is required on demand, one cannot accomplish such suppression proactively but instead must deal with the distractor reactively, incurring a large cost in performance.

Despite some studies challenging the link between temporal compression and intentional action, intentional binding is still widely used as an implicit measure for the sense of agency. The debate remains unsettled primarily because the experimental conditions used in previous studies were confounded with various alternative causes for temporal compression, and action intention has not yet been tested comprehensively against all potential alternative causes in a single study. Here, we solve this puzzle by jointly comparing participants' estimates of the interval between three types of triggering events with comparable predictability-voluntary movement, passive movement, and external sensory event-and an external sensory outcome (auditory or visual across experiments). The results failed to show intentional binding, that is, no shorter interval estimation for the voluntary than the passive movement conditions. Instead, we observed temporal (but not intentional) binding when comparing both movement conditions with the external sensory condition. Thus, temporal binding appears to originate from sensory integration and temporal prediction, not from action intention. As such, these findings underscore the need to reconsider the use of \"intentional binding\" as a reliable proxy of the sense of agency.
