Within the auditory modality, contrastive adaptation effects have been observed within a number of categories, including voice and musical instrument type. A recent study found contrastive perceptual shifts between voice and instrument categories following repetitive presentation of adaptors consisting of either vowels or instrument tones. The current study tested the generalizability of adaptation along a voice–instrument continuum, using more ecologically valid adaptors. Participants were presented with an adaptor followed by an ambiguous voice–instrument target, created by generating a 10-step morphed continuum between pairs of vowel and instrument sounds. Listeners’ categorization of the target sounds was shifted contrastively by a spoken sentence or instrumental melody adaptor, regardless of whether the adaptor and the target shared the same speaker gender or similar pitch range (Experiment 1). However, no significant contrastive adaptation was observed when nonspeech vocalizations or nonpitched percussion sounds were used as the adaptors (Experiment 2). The results suggest that adaptation between voice and nonvoice categories does not rely on exact repetition of simple stimuli, nor does it solely reflect the result of a sound being categorized as being human or nonhuman sourced. The outcomes suggest future directions for determining the precise spectro-temporal properties of sounds that induce these voice–instrument contrastive adaptation effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"1022 - 1032"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143506064","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}

Here, we addressed the reverse question of the influence of food preference on the perception of its quantity. Does a portion of a loved food appear different than the same portion of a hated food? We probed this question by employing state-of-the-art tools of psychophysics, which allowed us the parallel examination of several long-standing issues of psychophysics. The latter included the difference between symbolic and non-symbolic number, the difference between the methods of Magnitude Estimation and Magnitude Production, the difference between under- or over-estimation and rate of growth measured by the (slope of) psychophysical function as well as the derivation of the Difference Threshold by the method of Constant Stimuli. We addressed the question of an effect on perception of food valence with four distinct experiments. Presenting real food items, we found that perceived quantity is a compressive function of objective quantity regardless of valence; both loved- and hated-food dynamics are governed by Stevens’ power function with an exponent of 0.8. In absolute terms, applying Magnitude Estimation, we witnessed a gross underestimation for loved and hated food alike. In contrast, applying Magnitude Production, participants underproduced loved food, but overproduced hated food. For discrimination of food quantity, we found better resolving power for hated food. Collectively, our results show that, across diverse psychophysical evaluations, food valence affects its perception, especially when people actively regulate the to-be-consumed portion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"1060 - 1080"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143473183","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 present study extended this hypothesis by combining a change-detection task and measurement of the P300 event-related potential, which was thought to index the amount of processing resources available to detecting onsets and offsets. In an experiment, while brain activity was monitored by electroencephalography, participants indicated the locations of onsets and offsets under the condition in which they occurred equally often in the same locations across trials. Although there was no reason to prioritise detecting one type of change over the other, onsets were detected more quickly, and they evoked a larger P300 than offsets. These results suggest that processing resources are preferentially allocated to onset detection. This biased allocation may be a basis on which the attentional system defaults to the ‘onset detection’ mode.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 4","pages":"1219 - 1229"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.3758/s13414-025-03027-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143473175","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}

That both internal goals and external salience modulate the allocation of attention is well established. However, recent empirical work has found instances of experience-driven attention, wherein task-irrelevant, physically non-salient stimuli reflexively capture attention in ways that are contingent on an observer’s unique history. The prototypical example of experience-driven attention relies on a history of reward associations, with evidence attributing the phenomenon to reward-prediction errors. However, a mechanistic account, differing from the reward-prediction error hypothesis, is needed to explain how, in the absence of monetary reward, a history of target-seeking leads to attentional capture. Here we propose that what drives attentional capture in such cases is not target-seeking, but an association with instrumental information. To test this hypothesis, we used pre-cues to render the information provided by a search target either instrumental or redundant. We found that task-irrelevant, physically non-salient distractors associated with instrumental information were more likely to draw eye movements (a sensitive metric of information sampling) than were distractors associated with redundant information. Furthermore, saccading to an instrumental-information-associated distractor led to a greater behavioral cost: response times were slowed more severely. Crucially, the distractors had equivalent histories as sought targets, so any attentional differences between them must be due to different information histories resulting from our experimental manipulation. These findings provide strong evidence for the information history hypothesis and offer a method for exploring the neural signature of information-driven attentional capture.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"721 - 727"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.3758/s13414-024-03008-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460794","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}

Recent studies have shown that when the feature of an irrelevant salient item is known, it can be suppressed below baseline leading to facilitated search. Wang and Theeuwes (<i>Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance</i>, <i>46</i>(10), 1051–1057, 2020) criticised previous inhibition studies by claiming that the sparse displays attenuated the salience of the distractors. In their study they increased the number of display items (i.e., set size), and found that an irrelevant salient distractor captured attention. The current paper argues that the displays used by Wang and Theeuwes encouraged participants to use a singleton search mode, in which participants actively look for salient regions to find the target and consequently do not inhibit salient items. Specifically, their displays included multiple repeated non-target shapes, so that the target became a singleton. We used two search displays with ten items, one with repeated non-targets (R-NT displays), allowing a singleton search mode, and one with heterogeneous non-targets, encouraging a feature search mode. In Experiment 1 the singleton distractor was inhibited in the heterogeneous condition, but not in the R-NT condition. Experiment 2 intermixed the two display types in unbalanced blocks. When the majority of trials had heterogeneous non-targets, inhibition was observed for both the heterogeneous displays and the R-NT displays. Conversely, when R-NT displays were the majority, inhibition was attenuated for both display types. These results show that distractor features can be suppressed at large set sizes dependant on the search strategy promoted by the displays.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":"87 3","pages":"874 - 883"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460800","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 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}
