The relative weight assigned to each cue is frequency dependent, with ITDs dominating at low and ILDs at high frequencies. However, this weighting changes (e.g., depending on room reverberation or cue reliability). To achieve better spatial hearing in various listener populations, changing the weighting might be advantageous. Previous studies showed that such changes can be induced (e.g., using a lateralization training with visual reinforcement in virtual reality). Here, a new training procedure is introduced, based on a simple auditory-only discrimination task. An experiment evaluated the procedure, consisting of a pretest, three training sessions, and a posttest. Subjects were divided into three groups-one trained by reinforcing the ILDs, one by reinforcing the ITDs, and one no-training control. The training consisted of an adaptive staircase of relative discrimination trials. Stimuli were two consecutive narrow-band noise bursts (2-4 kHz), each presented with a different combination of ITD and ILD. Participants' task was to indicate the perceived location of the second noise burst versus the first. During training, feedback was provided requiring the subject to imagine the sound moving in the trained cue's direction. We observed an increase in reinforced-cue weight for both training groups, but not in the control group, that continued during all three training sessions. Thus, this training method is effective for reweighting in both directions. Moreover, it is individualized, and, since it does not rely on sophisticated equipment, it can be easily accessible for a range of listeners.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":"1788-1800"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12204945/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144082265","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}

When a feature repeats, the previous event file including this feature is retrieved and can then influence current performance. It is still unclear, however, what terminates an event file. A tacit assumption is that registering the distal (e.g., visual, or auditory) sensory consequences of an action (i.e., the \"action effect\") terminates the event file, thereby making it available for retrieval. Yet recently Frings et al. (2023) tested different distal action-effect conditions in standard stimulus-response (S-R) binding tasks and observed no modulation of S-R binding effects. It is conceivable though that the impact of distal action effects on feature binding hinges on the action mode of agents with intention-based mode (as compared to a stimulus-based mode) of action particularly emphasizing the possible impact of a meaningful distal action effect. Thus, we analyzed semantically meaningful distal action effects (participants switched simulated light bulbs on and off) in three experiments (Ntotal = 181). We found no clear impact of meaningful additional action effect presence or contingency on feature binding effects. The present study thus corroborates the notion that especially S-R binding tasks induce a stimulus-based action mode, in which proximal action effects are used for event file termination.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":"1650-1664"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12204946/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144112525","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}

However, the studied set of grouping principles does not consider the complexity of interactions between the local and global level. In this study, dot lattices were adjusted to have various oriented shapes as elements. In addition to proximity between the elements, the use of triangles as elements provided a direct (i.e., alignment of the shape's side and the global orientation promoting good continuation) as well as an indirect grouping cue (i.e., perceived pointing in local triangles as a result of its global reference frame) promoting global groupings. We replicated the well-studied proximity effect. In addition, the introduction of shapes as elements resulted in a dampening of the proximity effect, regardless of the nature of the shape. The grouping effect of triangles, however, was dependent on the grid characteristics and differed between individuals. In a grid with small elements, most participants adhered to grouping by pointing. When the size of the elements was increased, there was a shift towards grouping by base-alignment. In both grid types, a relatively large group of participants did not exhibit consistent grouping by alignment nor pointing. These results confirm that oriented shapes can function as grouping cues in both a direct (i.e., alignment) and an indirect (i.e., pointing) manner. Moreover, they emphasize the importance of studying individual differences in perceptual grouping.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":"1604-1629"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144000169","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}

Ensemble representations not only help the limited capacity of visual representations, but they also facilitate the detection and representation of items deviating from the group (i.e., the outlier). This study focuses on how attentional mechanisms modulate outlier processing. In three experiments, we presented participants with an ensemble that was formed by circle stimuli in varying sizes, and the outlier item was distinct in terms of its location. We measured outlier localization performance while manipulating attentional orienting via a spatial cueing paradigm. In Experiment 1, a valid, invalid, or neutral cue was presented before or after the display. Facilitation of outlier localization was most pronounced in the valid precue condition. Experiment 2 included a task to actively engage ensemble perception in addition to outlier localization, and cue validity effect was observed as in Experiment 1. Experiment 3A was carried to directly compare the top-down and bottom-up influences on outlier processing by presenting two spatial outliers-one target and another distractor outlier. The target outlier identity was previously determined and was identical across trials. In Experiment 3B, the target was in red, making it salient among the remaining items. In the invalid trials, where the distractor outlier was cued, responses were closer to the distractor item indicating that outlier processing is cue driven. These experiments overall demonstrate that automaticity of outlier processing can be overridden by cue-driven processes.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":"1530-1543"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295434","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}

Recent research shows that small interactive groups of two and three individuals (i.e., dyads and triads) are found faster in visual search tasks when group members are facing toward versus away from one another. This 'facing advantage' may reflect the involvement of perceptual grouping processes, with facing groups perceived as a unified whole. Here, we tested this grouping hypothesis by measuring search performance for individuals who were positioned within facing or non-facing groups of three. If facing triads were perceptually grouped, individuation of group members in those triads should be hindered. Participants searched for a target individual, a person raising a fist or a person raising a pointing finger, who was positioned in one of four or eight facing or non-facing triads. The data indicated that while the search for target individuals pointing a finger was overall facilitated, it was specifically hindered when this person was positioned within a facing compared to a non-facing group. These results suggest that the perception of social groups may be attuned to the overall configuration of the group, but also to more sophisticated social communicative signals of individual group members.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334440","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}

Human performance could be facilitated in processing stimuli appearing in locations congruent with the planned action and subsequently held in spatial working memory. This suggests that action planning has the capacity to endogenously orient attention, but this has yet to be formally investigated. In the current study, we examined whether the endogenous nature of action planning could affect exogenous attention capture. Using a virtual three-dimensional (3D) environment, participants underwent simulated driving while presented with a modified cue-target paradigm. Action planning was prompted before (Experiment 1) or during cue presentation (Experiment 2) by requiring participants to perform a lane change following their localization response at the peripheral target onset. The results showed that traditional exogenous cueing effects (inhibition of return; IOR) were revealed when action planning was not required. However, when action planning was required, the IOR effect was diminished at the action-relevant location but remained present at the action-irrelevant location. In addition, we tested that our results were not merely the effect of an induced working memory load before making the lane change (Experiment 3) and that action planning endogenously oriented attention in the absence of any exogenous cueing manipulations (Experiment 4). Collectively, these findings suggest that the endogenous shifting of attention that results from planned actions can impact the effect of exogenous orienting in dynamic stimulus interactions. Future research should continue to examine the interplay between endogenous and exogenous attention in ecologically valid settings.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144235989","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 examined whether prior expectations about object weight based on size cues, which affect the experience of real-world object interactions, are different in virtual reality (VR). Employing a highly realistic virtual environment with precisely matched visual size and haptic cues, we tested the hypothesis that VR, which may be experienced as uncertain, unfamiliar, or unpredictable, would induce a smaller SWI due to a diminished effect of prior expectations. Participants (N = 25) reported the felt heaviness of lifted objects that varied in both volume and mass in physical reality and a VR environment. Reach and lift kinematics, and self-reported presence, were also recorded. Our findings showed no differences between how participants perceived the SWI between real and virtual environments, although there was a trend towards a smaller illusion in VR. Contrary to our predictions, participants who experienced more presence in VR did not experience a larger SWI-instead, the inverse relationship was observed. Notably, differences in reach velocities between physical and virtual conditions suggested a more controlled approach in VR. These findings highlight the intricate relationship between immersion and sensorimotor processes in virtual environments, emphasising the need for deeper exploration into the underlying mechanisms that shape human interactions with immersive technologies, particularly the prior expectations associated with virtual environments.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144163981","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}

Volitional actions can only be elicited in the lab, however, when experimental paradigms allow sufficient expression of agential capacity. Unfortunately, the standard paradigm for eliciting voluntary attention control (VAC) does not appear to allow such expression. The present study therefore attempted to increase the elicitation of VAC by using a modified spatial cueing paradigm that granted participants greater freedom in choosing the direction of the cue. It also attempted to improve the detection of VAC by using statistical mediation analyses to examine the relations between measures of intention, agency, and performance, as well as how the magnitude of these relations might be moderated by three cue validity contexts (100%, 70%, and 25%). Based on a total sample of 720 participants, the present findings showed that the \"total effect\" of intention on agency can be decomposed into two paths. The \"direct effect\" of intention on agency generally reflects VAC in that increases in intention were associated with increases in agency, but only in the 100%-valid cue context. However, the \"indirect effect\" of intention on agency passes through performance, and it reflects a process that appears to be more experience based and less volitional. Altogether, the present study recommends new methods for eliciting and detecting VAC in the lab while also exposing some shortcomings in more traditional measures of VAC based on performance.","PeriodicalId":55433,"journal":{"name":"Attention Perception & Psychophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144112602","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}
