Ishida et al. (Frontiers in Psychology, 9, 1749, 2018) reported that native English speakers could comprehend English sentences using two types of temporal distortions: (1) speech signals divided into equally timed segments, with each segment reversed in time (locally time-reversed speech), and (2) speech signals with reduced modulation-frequency components shaping the amplitude envelope (modulation-filtered speech). While the results showed a similar pattern of intelligibility decline across these two conditions in English (a syllable-oriented language with consonant clusters) when degradation increased in six steps, it remained unclear whether this pattern holds in a linguistically distinct language like Japanese (a mora-oriented language with CV and V as basic linguistic units). The current study investigates how native Japanese speakers comprehend Japanese sentences under the same temporal distortions. In Experiment 1, participants listened to locally time-reversed Japanese sentences with segment intervals reversed at 10 ms, 30 ms, 50 ms, 70 ms, 90 ms, and 110 ms. In Experiment 2, the same participants listened to modulation-filtered Japanese sentences, where the modulation frequency components were low-pass filtered at cut-off frequencies of 32 Hz, 16 Hz, 8 Hz, 4 Hz, 2 Hz, and 1 Hz. Results showed that the intelligibility of locally time-reversed and modulation-filtered Japanese sentences decreased as distortion increased, with longer reversed segment lengths and lower cut-off frequencies. However, the patterns of intelligibility degradation in Japanese differed significantly from those in English. Thus, perceptual restoration may function differently depending on the basic linguistic units (mora vs. syllable).","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144786013","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 explored their respective contributions to the perceptual organization of motion using a bistable stimulus of eight moving dots, perceived either as rotating in local pairs (local motion percept) or as forming two illusory squares translating around fixation (global motion percept). To disrupt the velocity-based motion system, we varied interstimulus intervals (ISIs) stroboscopically from 0 to 116.6 ms - selectively impairing early direction-selective cells with short temporal integration windows ( <math><mrow><mo><</mo> <mn>100</mn></mrow> </math> ms). Additionally, we manipulated contrast polarity to bias perceptual grouping (local-group, global-group, or no-group).

For ISIs <math><mrow><mo><</mo> <mn>33</mn></mrow> </math> ms, the global motion percept dominated even in the presence of strong static grouping cues (i.e., contrast and proximity), suggesting that the velocity-based motion system introduces a perceptual bias that can override or counteract static grouping cues. These findings reveal distinct, and at times opposing, contributions of velocity- and position-based motion systems to the perceptual organization of motion.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144765823","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}

However, it remains poorly understood whether there are, next to state influences, also stable differences in the sharpness of the spotlight between individuals: trait differences. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the validity of a cueing paradigm to assess group and individual differences. In an online experiment, we presented a cue to covertly direct attention to one side of the screen. This was followed by a target (gapped circle) appearing at varying distances from the cue, in either the valid or the invalid hemifield. The accuracy of reporting the gap direction was used to map the size of the attentional spotlight. First, results indicated that our task elicited the standard exogeneous cueing effects. Then, we fitted linear slopes to index the spatial gradient of the spotlight and demonstrated performance decline as a function of increasing target distance, showing that attention modulates the sharpness of the spotlight. Test-retest analyses revealed that while the patterns observed at the group level are robust, performance on the individual level was not reliably stable over a 2-week period, limiting the validity of the cueing paradigm for individual differences research. Whereas not suitable to detect variance in the homogeneous neurotypical population, we discuss potential use of the task for future research in clinical populations where altered attentional functioning are hallmarks in the clinical diagnosis (e.g., autism spectrum conditions), and in reassessing previously reported group level differences.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144746053","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}

Older adults, meanwhile, have never been found to attain such parallel central processing (i.e., dual-task automaticity), even with highly practiced or extremely easy tasks. Here we asked whether older adults do not bypass the central bottleneck because they apply extra attention to one or both tasks as a strategy to compensate for cognitive deficits. In Experiment 1, we used the traditional psychological refractory period (PRP) procedure and replicated the typical finding: even though Task 2 was extremely easy, it suffered from large dual-task interference (353 ms) due to a central bottleneck. Because the PRP paradigm prioritizes Task 1, we hypothesized that this central bottleneck is strategic: older adults strategically over-prepare Task 1 at the expense of Task 2. So, in Experiment 2, we induced older adults to more evenly balance preparation between the two tasks. We did so by randomly intermixing single-task trials of each task amongst the dual-task PRP trials. This rebalancing of preparation allowed most older adults (20 out of 24) to consistently select the two responses in parallel, as evidenced by a close match between the observed distribution of inter-response intervals and that predicted by bottleneck bypassing, as well as by surprisingly little dual-task interference on Task 2 (85 ms). We conclude that older adults' processing mode is governed by the preparatory state, which can be modified to enable dual-task automaticity.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144709994","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}

For example, previous research has demonstrated that when 12 repeated stimuli are organized into four color-based clusters, probing only the repeated cluster containing the target alongside nine randomly generated stimuli can elicit similar contextual cueing as probing all the stimuli. This suggests that feature-based attention, when directed by color, strengthens the associations between the target and distractors within the same cluster, making it the primary contributor to contextual cueing. However, the influence of location-based organization on contextual cueing is less clear. We hypothesized that when 12 repeated stimuli are evenly divided into four quadrants, location-based attention similarly strengthens the associations between the target and distractors within the same quadrant. Consequently, probing only the target-containing quadrant may produce similar contextual cueing to probing the entire configuration, whereas probing only three repeated stimuli without quadrant organization would not. Experiments 1 and 2 confirmed this hypothesis. To further investigate the effect of location-based attention, Experiment 3 manipulated the number of stimuli attended to simultaneously (i.e., the attentional scope). We hypothesized that a larger attentional scope enhances the associations between stimuli, thereby facilitating contextual cueing. The results support this hypothesis, indicating that a broader attentional scope led to more pronounced contextual cueing. In summary, the present study demonstrates that the extent of contextual cueing depends on location-based organization.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144709992","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 study uses the feature pairings of elevation/pitch, lightness/pitch, and size/pitch to influence the perceived intonation of a spoken utterance. Participants listened to a range of auditory stimuli, varying in their intent, and attempted to classify them as questions or statements. We found that change in the irrelevant visual features of elevation or lightness could bias their judgements in a manner consistent with an actual change in the pitch of the auditory stimulus. Size/pitch does not appear to affect language judgements, and we confirm this in a series of follow-up experiments. This suggests that simple crossmodal correspondences can influence high-level ambiguity resolution, at least in some cases.

The present study examines the effects of prosodic prominence, signaled by F0, and multi-talker babble noise as methods of boosting and decrementing listeners' attention, respectively. Listeners categorized four English vowel contrasts, including two high vowel contrasts and two non-high vowel contrasts, with both formant cues and vowel duration varying along a continuum. In Experiment 1, results showed that prominence boosted formant cue usage, whereas babble noise was detrimental to formant cue usage, aligning with predicted roles in modulating listener attention. Listeners' use of vowel duration, a secondary cue to the contrasts, was also impacted by prominence or babble noise. In Experiment 2, two methods of eliciting F0-based prominence, off-target (contextual) and on-target (target-internal), were investigated. Results showed that off-target prominence showed a very limited effect in boosting formant cue usage.

In addition, Ishida (Attention, Perception & Psychophysics, 83(6), 2675-2693, 2021) reported that Japanese words - composed of consonant-vowel (CV) units - were significantly more intelligible than English words when locally time-reversed. The current study investigates how tolerant and robust Japanese words are under more severe temporal distortions. In Experiment 1, native Japanese speakers listened to Japanese words and pseudowords that were locally time-reversed at intervals of 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, and 200 ms, which had not been previously examined. These lexical items contained either many fricatives or stops. Results showed that Japanese words were highly tolerant of local time reversal, even at these extreme durations. Perceptual restoration was sustained by dominant phoneme type (fricative-dominant > stop-dominant) and lexicality (words > pseudowords). In Experiment 2, participants listened to stop-dominant Japanese words and pseudowords, which were more susceptible to temporal distortion in Experiment 1. Temporal distortion was further increased by introducing extreme speech rates (fast vs. slow) while reversing the signal at 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, and 110 ms, commonly used intervals with normal speech rates. Results showed that stop-dominant Japanese words remained intelligible with increasing distortions, while pseudowords remained intelligible only up to 50 ms in the slow condition and became unintelligible in the fast condition. Overall, recognition of Japanese CV-based words was highly tolerant of severe temporal distortion, with perceptual restoration supported by dominant phoneme type, slower speech rate, and lexicality.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144683577","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}
