Previous research has demonstrated that external and internal attention interact with each other. However, Lim and Pratt, <i>Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics</i>, <i>85</i>, 52-63, (2023) reported that the breadth of the internal attentional window does not affect the processing of external perceptual stimuli. In that previous study, internal attention was manipulated by presenting a broad or narrow working memory array. While maintaining this array, participants performed a flanker task in which a distractor was presented at either far or near distances from the target. The results revealed no significant effect of the overlap between the internal attentional window and the external stimuli on participants' performance in the flanker task. However, the previous study varied the internal attentional window size and the flanker distance on a trial-to-trial basis, which may have prevented participants from maintaining the breadth of the internal attentional window. To investigate whether the breadth of the internal attentional window affects the processing of external stimuli under predictable attentional window breadth and flanker distance, we adopted the experimental paradigm of Lim and Pratt while keeping the internal attentional window breadth and the flanker distance consistent within a block. Our findings demonstrated that flanker processing was disrupted when the flanker fell within the breadth of the internal attentional window but only when the attentional window breadth was predictable. These findings suggest that internal attention affects processing of external stimuli when top-down knowledge of the task context is available.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"768 - 778"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665433","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}

We investigated whether storing related background images in chunks would spread memory enhancement across related images, potentially reducing the ABE. In three experiments, participants monitored an RSVP stream of blue and red colors, responding to a target color while ignoring distractors. Experiment 1 used 100 backpack images as background stimuli. Experiment 2 presented still photos of two natural events in chronological order, while Experiment 3 scrambled their temporal order. Results showed a significant ABE in Experiment 1, indicating that semantic relatedness alone does not disrupt the ABE. However, the ABE was eliminated in Experiments 2 and 3, suggesting that when participants form event models from related images, the ABE becomes temporally diffused. These findings identify a rare boundary condition for the typically robust ABE, suggesting that transient orienting to targets may not always produce a temporally specific boost to the memory of concurrent stimuli.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"752 - 767"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665356","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}

Judging by a theoretical tradition based on selective attention tasks, there might be encoding of perceived items into working memory limited to a single coherent stream of information at a time. However, this notion of a single stream seems to conflict with another tradition in which several items can be absorbed into working memory and retained at once. In three large-scale experiments (N ~ 120 per experiment), we examined working memory for series of colors and tones that were presented either successively, with all of one modality before the other, or concurrently, with one tone accompanying each color but uncorrelated with it. The single-stream account would suggest considerable difficulty for the concurrent presentation method. However, no such effect was obtained. There was no effect of the presentation method in the recognition of items (Experiments 1 and 2) and only a small modifying effect in memory for the serial position of items (Experiment 3). All experiments replicated earlier findings of a detrimental effect of having to retain two sets compared to one, and of an asymmetry in which the dual-set effect was larger for the visual modality. The extant evidence supports a theory in which multiple, separate episodic streams can be encoded into working memory concurrently, provided that the rate of information input does not exceed a rate of processing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"884 - 898"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659952","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}

The results of both experiments consistently demonstrated that inverted faces are processed not only locally but also holistically, and that misalignment disrupts the holistic processing of inverted faces.

For example, adults can easily determine whether two objects are the same, regardless of what these objects are. It remains unclear which cognitive resources and strategies underlie human ability to acquire and use generalizable relational concepts. Here, in a set of three experiments (N = 40, N = 40, N = 155; data collected in 2021), we investigate the strategies that human adults use to determine whether two compound items are visually identical. We found that people compare the items by revealing perceptual information in the order that minimizes memory involvement and errors. When participants are prevented from using the perceptual offloading strategy, they switch to a naming strategy-either internally or through explicit verbalization-to maintain accuracy in relational judgment. When the items lack easily nameable features and perceptual offloading is restricted, participants are slower, less accurate, and less efficient in their comparisons. Thus, humans adaptively offload the memory requirements of the relational comparison onto active perceptual interactions with the stimuli and naming. We suggest that cognitive models of visual relational reasoning should consider these perceptual and language-based resources when formalizing mechanisms underlying human relational judgments.</p>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143652015","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}

Classic theories assume that individual objects are the units involved in refreshing. Considering that features and locations can be represented as Boolean maps, here we investigated whether Boolean maps can also serve as the units of refreshing in multiple identity tracking (MIT). We used an adapted MIT paradigm, in which every two targets shared the same identity and thus could be represented in one Boolean map. We examined whether only the cued target was refreshed (i.e., object-based refreshing) or the other target sharing the same identity was also refreshed (i.e., Boolean map-based refreshing). In Experiment 1, where objects moved randomly, results showed that while the cued target was tracked better than uncued targets, no significant advantage was observed for the same-identity target, indicating no Boolean map-based refreshing. In Experiment 2, same-identity targets moved in parallel, maintaining a stable spatial relationship within each Boolean map. Both same-identity and cued targets were tracked better than other targets, demonstrating a same-Boolean-map advantage. In Experiment 3, where different-identities targets moved in parallel, no significant advantage was found for either the target moved parallel to or sharing the same identity as the cued target. Taken together, the results indicate that a Boolean map can serve as the unit for attentional refreshing in MIT, but only when targets with the same identity are moving in parallel, so that the spatial relationship within each Boolean map remains the same while the objects are moving; otherwise the refreshing is based on individual objects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"862 - 873"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143574697","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}
