For instance, spatial attention is found to modulate temporal judgments when resources are allocated to a specific stimulus location in vision and audition. However, it is unclear to what extent the attentional effects observed in vision and audition can be generalized to the tactile modality. Here, we study the effects of attentional cues on the time perception of tactile stimuli presented on the human torso. Across four experiments, we examined (1) the impact of visual versus tactile spatial cues, (2) the modulation of time perception by dynamic versus static tactile cues, (3) the role of spatial congruency between cue and target locations (front vs. back of the torso), and (4) the influence of cue-target intervals. Participants performed temporal bisection tasks, judging whether the vibrations following the cues were closer to short or long anchor durations. Tactile cues expanded the perceived duration of subsequent stimuli, with dynamic cues having a greater effect than static ones. While no congruency effects were observed for left and right torso locations, front-back congruency enhanced time expansion. The attentional effect peaked at a 100-ms cue-target interval. We conclude that the time-expanding effects of spatial attention extend to tactile stimuli on the human torso given that time expansion follows principles known from spatial attention.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"779 - 793"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.3758/s13414-025-03025-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need for attention to selectively process perceptual information is a ubiquitous part of mental life, but how mentally effortful is the process of finding the target of a visual search, and how much mental effort is required to focus attention in the face of potentially distracting stimuli? Does learning from demands on physical effort shape the control of attention, much like rewards and punishments? In this tutorial review, we provide an overview of a novel approach to probing the mental effort involved in visual search and the control of attention more generally. Situations are created in which exerting physical effort, via a hand dynamometer, can modify the demands of a visual search task. More specifically, participants can exert physical effort to reduce the putative mental effort required to find a target. When comparing across search conditions, this approach can reveal the conditions that participants are willing to physically work to achieve, with implications for the mental effort associated with these conditions. We also introduce a reciprocal approach in which demands on physical effort, and their association with the visual search task, are manipulated, providing an opportunity to examine how the control of attention is shaped by these effort demands. Some practical considerations for the implementation of these novel approaches are discussed, as are potential new research directions for which these approaches are well suited.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 2","pages":"670 - 684"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143392245","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}

Replicating previous studies, we found processing advantages for direct (vs. averted) face/gaze and motion onset (vs. static stimuli). Critically, while the motion-onset advantage increased with increasing distance to the center, the face/gaze direction advantage was not significantly modulated by target eccentricity. Results from a control experiment with eye tracking indicate that face/gaze direction could be accurately discriminated even at the largest eccentricity.

Expectancy was assessed by examining the change in search performance between trials with accurate expectations and easier-than-expected or harder-than-expected trials, matched for search difficulty. Observers searched for Landolt-C targets (Exp-1) or real-world objects (Exp-2). Increased difficulty resulted in reduced accuracy, increased RT and object dwell times (targets and distractors; both experiments), and reduced guidance (Exp-2). Relative to the same level of search difficulty and when expectations were accurate, harder-than-expected search reduced accuracy, RT, and target object dwell times (Exp-1). Whereas easier-than-expected search increased RT and target dwell times (Exp-1). While Experiment 2 showed somewhat muted expectancy effects, easier-than-expected search replicated the increased RT observed in Exp-1, with an additional guidance decrement and increased distractor dwell time. These results demonstrate that expectations shift search performance toward the expected difficulty level.

Auditory interference was observed, though it was relatively weak and varied across conditions rather than being simply present or absent. The observed variability in interference effects may align with the established view that observers typically ignore semantic distractor information in goal-directed searches, except in cases where the strength of target designation is compromised.

To address these gaps, we implemented two search tasks, where participants responded based on a separate feature from the one defining the target. We kept the target dimension consistent across trials while varying the color and shape of the distractor. Moreover, we either repeated or randomized the target position in different sessions. Our results revealed a pronounced response priming, a difference between trials where the response changed versus repeated, and importantly this response priming was stronger when distractor features or the target position were repeated than when they changed. These insights affirm the presence of DRB during visual search and support the framework of binding and retrieval in action control as a basis for observed intertrial priming effects related to distractor features.

However, these representations are flexible, as their intensity and direction can be modulated by various contextual cues and task demands. In four experiments, we investigated the spatial representation of visual speed. Visual speed is inherently connected to physical space and spatial directions, making it distinct from other magnitudes. With this in mind, we explored whether the spatial representation of visual speed aligns with the typical left-to-right orientation or is influenced dynamically by the movement direction of the stimuli. Participants compared the speed of random dot kinematograms to a reference speed using lateralised response keys. On each trial, all dots moved consistently in one single direction, which varied across the experiments and could also vary from trial to trial in Experiments 2 and 4. The dot movements were left-to-right (Experiment 1), random across a 360° spectrum (Experiment 2), right-to-left (Experiment 3), and random left-to-right or right-to-left (Experiment 4). The results supported a relatively stable left-to-right spatial representation of speed (Experiments 1–3), which was compromised by mutable motion directions along the horizontal axis (Experiment 4). We suggest that representing stimuli as belonging to a single set rather than different sets, may be crucial for the emergence of spatial representations of quantities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"1042 - 1059"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.3758/s13414-025-03012-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
