Oculomotor capture has been shown to extend to automatic, corrective saccades that can be biased towards distractors whose feature matches VWM content. We address the question of bi-directional influences between VWM and the oculomotor system, here with a focus on corrective saccade biases. Twenty participants had to memorize a color hue and later discriminate it from another hue from a different (Easy condition) or the same (Difficult condition) color category. Between encoding and test, they performed a gaze-contingent saccade task where, mid-saccade, the position of items shifted, introducing an artificial saccade error, and the color of a distractor neighboring the target changed to a color (mis)matching the memorized one. VWM performance was higher in the Easy compared to the Difficult experimental block, reflecting the successful manipulation of task demands. Corrective saccade biases towards the distractor occurred more frequently when it matched memory content compared to when it did not, replicating previous findings. Importantly, they also occurred more in the Difficult experimental block, which required more precise VWM representations than the Easy condition. VWM performance, however, was not affected by saccade corrections to memory (mis)matching distractors. Our results provided no evidence of saccade biases having a role in the updating of VWM content; however, they indicate an influence of task demands and VWM engagement on automatic oculomotor biases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"88 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13121585/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147790138","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}

We propose that self-face distractors function as an “attentional magnet.” They not only capture attention effectively but also disrupt the global processing required to encode the spatial layout of a scene.

Group 2 demonstrated significantly higher localization errors than Group 1 in the sitting condition (e.g., Head-Immobile Overall 3D Error: <i>p</i> = .021) and on the foam surface (e.g., Head-Immobile Overall 3D Error: <i>p</i> = .046). Conversely, no significant differences were found between the groups for any parameter on the firm surface. These findings indicate that head movements substantially enhance spatial hearing accuracy.

Commutativity here refers to the order independence of successive magnitude productions (e.g., adjusting the subjective intensity of a stimulus successively by factors of 2 and 3 should produce the same result regardless of which factor comes first [×2×3 = ×3×2]). In the present experiment, these operations were performed (1) within the same modality (here: loudness or brightness), and (2) across modalities—that is, making productions from light to sound (e.g., “make the sound twice as loud as the light is bright”) and back, or vice versa. In individual, within-subjects experiments involving repeated loudness and brightness productions, 13 participants made adjustments to evaluate both kinds of commutativity. In line with previous findings (Ellermeier, Kattner, & Raum, <i>Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 83</i>[7], 2955–2967, 2021), both intra-modal and cross-modal commutativity held for most participants, but the final results of corresponding sequences of cross-modal and intra-modal adjustments (e.g., of the type ×2×3) typically did not coincide. That inconsistency is interpreted as participants choosing different internal reference points when making cross-modal versus intra-modal magnitude productions, but it does not preclude their using a common internal yardstick.

In addition, the storage and maintenance of VWM and the processing of external visual stimuli may compete for the same attention resources. Similar information impacts existing VWM representations through integration and replacement; however, the regulatory effects of attentional resources on these processes remain poorly understood. This study used a dual-task paradigm in which participants were required to complete an additional search task during the maintenance phase of a working memory task. Under difficulty control, Experiment 1 examined how similarity and attentional engagement modulate integration and substitution. Experiment 2 employed peripheral cues to dissociate attentional demands between these mechanisms, while Experiment 3 further validated differential sensitivity by manipulating search difficulty to control attention resource allocation. Results demonstrate that integration is regulated by both similarity and attentional resources, whereas replacement is solely governed by similarity.

Stimuli preceded by a speech adaptor were rated as more song-like, while stimuli preceded by a song adaptor were rated as more speech-like. In Experiment 2, data from a previous study on transformation from speech to song with repetition were re-analyzed to examine contextual effects.
