Attention Capture in Visual Search: The Effects of Individual Visual Working Memory Capacity and Gaming Experience

Creator:: Hauck, Christopher
Abstract:: Prior research has demonstrated that unique and salient objects in a visual display may capture an individual’s attention. However, researchers have shown that some individuals, such as those with video game experience, are better at resisting salient-driven capture compared to others (Chisholm et al., 2010). The first manuscript presented in...

Visual Hindsight Bias and Emotion Perception

Creator:: Burgess, Emily
Abstract:: Visual hindsight bias, also known as the “saw-it-all-along” effect, is the tendency to overestimate one’s perceptual abilities with the aid of outcome knowledge. The present study investigated visual hindsight bias for facial stimuli. Experiment 1 adopted the visual hindsight bias paradigm from Harley et al. (2004) and replicated their findings...

The Temporal Dynamics of Visual Attention in Processing Facial Emotion

Creator:: Wiebke, Ashley, Weber, Emily, Griswold, Sarah, Markovics, Alyssia, and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: In rapid serial visual presentation, identification of the second of two targets is impaired when it closely follows the first target. This phenomenon is known as the attentional blink (AB) effect. Awh and his colleagues (2004) found that face discrimination was immune to AB when performed together with a digit...

Locus of Case Mixing in Visual Word Recognition: What Do Priming Effects Tell Us?

Creator:: Briggs, Holly, Thody, Andrea, and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Perea, Vergara-Martínez, and Gomez (2015) claimed a late locus of case mixing in visual word recognition. In their masking priming study, participants performed a lexical-decision task on an uppercase target, which was preceded by an identity or unrelated prime (e.g., “plane” or “music” followed by “PLANE”, respectively) in lowercase or...

Memory capacity in switching search strategies: Are low-capacity individuals more susceptible to capture by distractors?

Creator:: Thompson, Lane and Naylor, Jamie
Abstract:: Lien, Ruthruff, and Naylor (2014) recently reported that switching target search strategies (e.g., from identifying the letter that is uniquely colored [singleton search] to the letter that has a specific color [feature search] or vice versa) made the attentional system more vulnerable to capture by salient-but-irrelevant objects. In the present...

Visual Attention and Working Memory: Are Low Memory Capacity Individuals More Easily Distracted?

Creator:: Naylor, Jamie, Williams, Reginald, and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Visual working memory (VWM) allows us temporarily hold images in our minds and manipulate them. As an example, you can remember a face you just saw, or try to imagine how a room would look with a different arrangement of furniture. Previous studies have shown that individuals with low VWM...

Without words for emotions: Is the emotional processing deficit in alexithymia caused by dissociation or suppression?

Creator:: Sinnott, Christian B. and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Alexithymia is a trait where individuals have difficulty identifying feeling and finding a word to express emotion. Some studies have suggested that this deficit is due to dissociation (repression), or an inability to perceive emotions, whereas others argued that the deficit is due to suppression of emotional information after it...

R34D1NG W0RD5 W1TH NUMB3R5: Is lexical activation triggered by holistic processing or analytical processing?

Creator:: Burros, Alison, Sokoloff, Emily, Kunigel, Jody, and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Previous studies have suggested that LEET words can automatically activate lexical information because of their physical similarity to real words (e.g., Perea, Duñabeitia, & Carreiras, 2008). Lien, Allen, and Martin (in press) recently used electrophysiological measures (event-related brain potentials; ERPs) to show similar lexical/semantic activation (based on the N400 effect,...

Memory for emotional faces: Are angry faces more memorable than happy faces?

Creator:: Burros, Alison, Herdener, Nathan, and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Previous studies have suggested that negatively valenced faces (e.g., angry faces) automatically capture attention away from faces with other emotional valences (e.g., happy faces and neutral faces). The present study evaluated whether this attentional bias enhances memory of the negative emotional faces. Participants first performed a gender discrimination task on...

R34D1NG W0RD5 W1TH NUMB3R5 Electrophysiological Evidence that Semantic Activation Occurs

Creator:: Martin, Nicole, Hanlon, Austin, and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: The present study examined whether semantic activation for words occurs by encoding whole word shape in addition to individual letters. We used LEET stimuli, where digits were used as parts of words, such as “R34DING” instead of “READING”. Previous studies have suggested that LEET stimuli are encoded in a letter-like...
