We investigate the roles of identity and visual distinctiveness on contextual cueing using Chinese characters, which are meaningful to Chinese speakers, but whose square-like shapes are visually less distinctive. Experiment 1 confirmed that contextual cueing only occurred when both locations and identities were repeated during Chinese readers' character search. Experiment 2 reduced the importance of identity by having readers search for an identity-irrelevant dot on an array of Chinese characters. Here, we found that contextual cueing occurred with spatial repetition alone. Experiment 3 used the dot-search task, but against an array of objects. Contextual cueing was observed only when both location and identity were repeated, suggesting that identity-location binding was more automatic with objects than with Chinese characters. Our findings raise important questions about the nature of identity-location bindings in contextual cueing, suggesting that this binding is modulated by task requirements and visual distinctiveness.

However, previous studies have used black-and-white peripherally presented stimuli, leaving open the question of whether the relationship persists when targets differ in their color or eccentricity. Here, we addressed this question with three experiments that systematically varied the lighting conditions and target properties in a visual near-threshold detection task (data collected in 2022-2024). Light conditions ranged from dark to dim to bright, with the dark condition including a period of dark adaptation. Possible target colors were blue and red on a black background (dark condition), blue and red on a gray background (dim condition), or yellow and cyan on a white background (bright condition). Possible target eccentricities ranged from parafoveal to peripheral, in a continuous manner (Experiment 3) or as two predefined near and far eccentricities (Experiments 1 and 2). Across all experiments, we show that larger prestimulus pupil size is associated with improved performance. This large-pupil advantage is not systematically modulated by the color or eccentricity of the targets, the illumination of the testing room, or the retinal adaptation state. We conclude that the phenomenon is robust, indicating that pupil size affects vision in a behaviorally relevant manner, regardless of the exact conditions.

Such effects occur both in visual crowding and in flanker compatibility effects (FCEs). Whereas crowding is a visual phenomenon that reflects a breakdown of object recognition in clutter, the conflict in the Eriksen flanker task is generally thought to occur during decision-making. In two experiments, we investigated if and how these two seemingly independent phenomena are related. We employed an orientation categorization task that allowed us to concurrently quantify crowding and FCEs. Specifically, we examined whether the spatial arrangement of stimuli affects the FCE in a similar way as in crowding. Interestingly, even when flankers were outside the crowding range, larger FCEs were observed for radially placed flankers compared with tangentially placed ones and for two compared with one flanker, corresponding to established patterns in crowding. However, inner flankers produced larger FCEs than outer flankers-the opposite of what is observed in crowding. In Experiment 2, we further investigated this reversed inner-outer asymmetry while manipulating the magnitude of crowding through varying target-flanker spacings. As expected, the outer flankers produced stronger crowding than the inner ones. Crucially, the inner flankers produced a larger reaction time FCE, and this inner-flanker interference was highest at the largest spacing. These findings demonstrate that the spatial layout of visual stimuli modulates conflict at both visual and decision-making stages, but the opposite patterns of the inner-outer asymmetry in the two phenomena provide a clear demarcation between the processes underlying them.

What drives this Other Accent Effect (OAE)? Here, we explore two possible explanations: the Processing Load Hypothesis and the Sociolinguistic Attitudes Hypothesis. According to the former, the OAE results when the effort required to adapt to and comprehend other-accented talkers reduces the resources available to process talker details. According to the latter, the OAE results when talkers with socially marked accents are classified as out-group members, thus negatively affecting listeners' processing. To test these hypotheses, we examined Canadian English listeners' identification of same- and other-accented talkers from voice lineups. In Experiment 1 (N = 144), we manipulated the predictability of talkers' speech and presented accents of variable social prestige and intelligibility from the listener's own accent (i.e., Canadian, Australian, Southern U.S., Mandarin-accented English). In Experiment 2 (N = 72), we varied accent strength, expecting that heavier accents would be harder to understand and more socially marked. Surprisingly, although the accents we used varied in intelligibility and in social prestige, these factors did not influence identification performance. We close by summarizing what our study reveals about talker recognition, and by discussing how future work could probe the mechanisms underlying the OAE.

We tested the hypothesis that nonarbitrary stimulus-response (S-R) mappings are a key determinant of cue effectiveness, as vocal Stroop tasks (with nonarbitrary color-naming responses) have shown reliable cue benefits, whereas manual Stroop tasks (with arbitrary key press responses) typically have not. Across five experiments, using a spatial Stroop task with nonarbitrary S-R mappings, we consistently found no evidence that participants used predictive cues to proactively resolve conflict on incongruent trials. Despite providing optimal preparation conditions (100% valid cues, 2,000 ms preparation time), cue benefits only emerged on congruent trials when task difficulty was increased substantially (50 ms stimulus presentation, Experiment 4), likely reflecting a strategic shortcut rather than enhanced proactive control. These findings demonstrate that nonarbitrary S-R mappings are not a sufficient condition for ensuring cue-based engagement of proactive control and challenge the assumption that this form of control is a readily deployable, domain-general mechanism.

Recent work suggests that musicians exhibit domain-general advantages in multisensory spatial integration, which has implications for our understanding of plasticity in sensory processing. Yet, the cause of this effect of expertise is unclear. Here, a preregistered sample of 35 musicians and 35 nonmusicians localized brief flashes and noise bursts, unimodally and bimodally, along the azimuth. Via Bayesian causal inference, we modeled participants' sensory precision and their prior tendency to perceptually integrate the stimuli (pcommon). As hypothesized, musicians exhibited less ventriloquism (audition biased toward vision) than nonmusicians, and this was captured by a reduced pcommon rather than by differences in sensory precision. Furthermore, although pcommon (and ventriloquism) was reduced after we told participants how often the stimuli were colocated, this did not eliminate the group difference in pcommon. Our results suggest that musicians have reduced susceptibility to a famous multisensory illusion, as accounted for by a Bayesian prior, and we show that such a prior (and illusory perception) can be modulated by a simple instruction.

In congruent trials, both dimensions activate the same response, whereas they activate opposing ones in incongruent trials. Global interference, the reaction time difference between these trial types, confounds both the facilitation and interference effect from the task-irrelevant dimension. To better understand the underlying processes at play within these tasks, we introduced neutral trials. Distributional analyses examined the impact of reaction time on mere interference (incongruent - neutral) and mere facilitation (congruent - neutral). Our findings, replicated in Experiment 2, challenge established theories by suggesting that the classic negative-going Simon delta plot reflects a transient and automatic facilitation process, rather than slow-building inhibition. Moreover, we show that the Stroop, Simon, and Flanker tasks differ systematically in how mere interference and mere facilitation shape global interference, while also warning against misinterpreting automatic processes as controlled processes in accounts of conflict resolution.

Such changes are typically temporally autocorrelated, referred to here as smooth, meaning the features at one moment are correlated with those at previous and subsequent moments. The attentional drag theory (Callahan-Flintoft et al., 2020) instantiated a computational model of representational updating that is supported by empirical evidence. In the model, attentional engagement that has been allocated to an object is prolonged by smooth feature change, which in turn increases the likelihood of reporting feature values presented after a probe cue. In contrast, abrupt feature changes, or visual transients, trigger quicker disengagement, allowing subjects to report earlier feature values, nearly coincident with a probe. The current study extended this theory, examining how transients in one feature affected sampling in another feature of the same object. Experiments revealed that orientation transients affected color selection latency (even when orientation was task irrelevant), but color transients did not affect orientation sampling. Moreover, only transients in the attended object or location affected sampling. These findings suggest a nuanced form of spatial or object-based attention where certain features, such as orientation, may play a more significant role in defining object continuity over time. This asymmetry suggests that temporal attentional episodes do not parse continuous visual input in its totality but rather may be local to the object or even feature level depending on how attentional disengagement occurs.

In Experiment 1, participants rated the average attractiveness of group faces, revealing a recency effect where the last face had the greatest influence. In Experiments 2 and 3, participants compared the average attractiveness of groups (with members presented in ascending, random, or descending attractiveness order) against either the arithmetic-average face (AAF; where each member contributes equally) or the weighted-average face (WAF; using recency-based weights from Experiment 1; tested only in Experiment 3). Presentation order influenced judgments for AAFs but not for WAFs; furthermore, this confirms that rapid serial visual presentation-based group-attractiveness perception relies on weighted processing incorporating the recency effect. In Experiment 4, participants rated the average attractiveness of group faces, the attractiveness of group member faces, and AAF/WAFs, and completed a memory task. The results showed that participants estimate group-average attractiveness by combining individual members' attractiveness through a weighted average, rather than by matching it to the attractiveness of the WAF itself. The recency effect observed in the memory task suggests that the recency effect in ensemble perception of facial attractiveness may reflect broader principles of memory encoding that are based on postperceptual processing. These findings offer novel perspectives on the mechanisms of group-attractiveness perception and have potential implications for group impression formation.
