(The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2025-50561-001.) Demonstrations of spontaneous perspective-taking are thought to provide some of the best evidence to date for \"implicit mentalizing\"-the ability to track simple mental states in a fast and efficient manner. However, this evidence has been challenged by a \"submentalizing\" account proposing that these findings are merely attention-orienting effects. The present research aimed to clarify the cognitive processes responsible by measuring spontaneous perspective-taking while controlling for attention orienting. Four experiments employed the widely used dot perspective task, modified by changing the order that stimuli were presented so that responses would be less influenced by attention orienting. This modification had different effects on speed and accuracy of responding. For response times, it attenuated spontaneous perspective-taking effects for avatars as well as attention-orienting effects for arrows. For error rates, robust spontaneous perspective-taking effects remained that were unaffected by manipulations targeting attention orienting, but contingent upon there being two competing active task sets (self- and other perspectives). These results confirm that attention orienting explains response time effects revealed by the original version of the dot perspective task. Error rate results also reveal the crucial role played by domain-general executive processes in enabling selection between perspectives. The absence of independent evidence for implicit mentalizing lends support to a revised submentalizing account that incorporates executive functions alongside attention orienting.

Temporal binding, the subjective compression of the perceived time interval between an action and its outcome, has previously been assumed to be an implicit measure of the sense of agency. Here, we investigate whether the characteristic directionality of the temporal binding effect is consistently present at the individual level. We first deaggregated the data from three temporal binding data sets and systematically reanalyzed and revisualized these effects at the individual level. This analysis revealed consistent differences in the directionality of the temporal binding effect at the individual level. We next implemented a validated Bayes factor mixed-method modeling approach (Rouder & Haaf, 2021), which simulated individual true effects in two additional data sets and determined that the observed differences in directionality remained after accounting for sampling noise. Model comparison determined that the least constrained model, that is, the one that allowed for individual differences in the magnitude and directionality of the effect, was the best fitting model. These results provide strong support for the presence of qualitative differences in the temporal binding effect. Implications for both the theoretical and applied future of this literature are discussed.

However, little is known as to whether this learned suppression operates in retinotopic (relative to the eyes) or spatiotopic (relative to the world) coordinates. In the current study, two circular search arrays were presented side by side. Participants learned the HP location from a learning array presented on one side of the display (e.g., left). After several trials, participants shifted their gaze to the center of the test array (e.g., located on the right side) in which all locations were equally likely to contain the distractor. Due to the saccade, the test array contained both a spatiotopic and a retinotopic matching location relative to the original HP location. The current findings show that, following saccadic eye movements, the learned suppression remained in retinotopic coordinates only, with no measurable transfer to spatiotopic coordinates. Even in a rich environment, attentional suppression still operated exclusively in retinotopic coordinates. We speculate that learned suppression may be resolved by changing synaptic weights in early visual areas.

In a series of experiments (minimum sample size = 30), participants held in working memory (WM) a sequence of two hand actions, both of which involved a particular hand (left or right) and orientation of the wrist (horizontal or vertical). While under this load, participants named objects that had a horizontal or vertical handle aligned to the left or right. Naming time was elevated when the WM load and the object's handle were congruent on one dimension (hand or orientation) but incongruent on the other, relative to when both dimensions were congruent or incongruent. We assumed that features of the action sequence in WM, including the laterality and wrist orientation of the hand postures, are bound together. If just one of these features (say, hand laterality) is recapitulated in the object presented for naming, a mismatching feature (in this instance, wrist orientation) would automatically be retrieved from WM. The resulting conflict induces a delay in the naming response (partial-repetition cost). No such effect was observed when the task required a decision about the upright/inverted status or the semantic category of an object (i.e., whether the tool/utensil is typically found in a kitchen or garage). Furthermore, no partial-repetition cost occurred on a speeded reach-and-grasp action afforded by the handle of a depicted object. We infer that the effect of action features in WM occurred because motor representations were directly consulted for name retrieval.

The current study investigated whether the features of the objects maintained in WM are represented in a dependent or independent manner. Across five experiments, we presented multifeature objects (color and shape) and investigated whether remembering one feature is correlated with remembering the other feature. To answer this question, we divided the continuous response distribution into five quintiles according to the accuracy performance, then computed the area under the curve of the continuous response of the other feature, thus calculating the area under the curve for a given feature for each quintile of the other feature. A dependent object representation predicts a correlation between these measures, indicating that remembering one feature is correlated with remembering the other feature. In all five experiments, in which we used different stimuli (triangles or polygons), different memory exposure intervals (1,200 or 300 ms), and different response procedures (sequential or simultaneous responses), we found strong evidence for a dependency between the object's features. We conclude that this current analysis was able to reveal strong feature dependency in WM. These findings support the conclusion that visual WM relies on object-based representations and that all the objects' features are represented in a dependent manner.

For example, switch costs are reduced when switching between visual-manual and auditory-vocal tasks compared to switching between visual-vocal and auditory-manual tasks. These modality pairing effects are generally interpreted as reflecting increased crosstalk between the stimuli and response-related action effects for the two tasks. However, the exact mechanism by which this crosstalk operates-stimulus-effect priming or conflict between central operations-is unclear. In four experiments, I manipulated the modality compatibility between stimuli and experimentally induced action effects, such that tasks overlapped in the stimulus modalities, effect modalities, both, or neither. Experiment 1 conceptually replicated prior reports of modality pairing effects in task switching in which switch costs were reduced when similar stimulus and effect modalities were encapsulated within tasks. In Experiments 2a, 2b, and 3, symmetrical switch costs across tasks provided evidence against the stimulus-effect priming account, instead suggesting that modality pairing effects stem from interference between the representations engaged by central operations. These results help to characterize the mechanism underlying modality pairing effects in task switching and add to a growing body of work illustrating how relationships between stimuli and response-related action effects influence response selection processes.

Many systematic patterns of error exist that are thought to be telling of the underlying mechanisms that process and maintain information in memory. Here, we suggest that the processes governing some of these patterns of errors are interrelated and highly individual. Specifically, we look at how perceptual structure relates to stimulus-specific biases in color and further explore the possible implication of this connection for contextual biases like serial dependence and repulsion between concurrently presented items. In Experiment 1, using a novel within-participant serial reproduction method, we reveal reliable attractors in color space across individuals, as well as individual differences that significantly influence these stimulus-specific biases. Simulations based on an independently measured perceptual structure of the stimulus space reproduce the group-level differences but do not capture the observed individual variation. In Experiment 3, we investigate how contextual biases-serial dependence when remembering one item and repulsion when remembering two items-interact with stimulus-specific properties. We identify color-specific properties of these contextual biases, as well as individual differences in the magnitude, direction, and stimulus-specific nature of these biases. We argue that because stimulus-specific biases are connected to perceptual structure, this same latent structure may impact contextual biases. Overall, we show a strong connection between stimulus-specific biases, contextual biases, and perceptual structure, as well as rich individual differences in these biases.
