Processing Facial Attractiveness Without Central Attention: Evidence from Electrophysiological Measures

Creator:: Robison, Bianca R.
Abstract:: Jung, Ruthruff, Tybur, Gaspelin, and Miller (2012) reported behavioral evidence that the perception of facial attractiveness requires central attentional resources. We evaluated this conclusion using more sensitive electrophysiological measures. Participants first made an attractiveness rating on faces to validate the assigned level of attractiveness (low vs. high). They then performed...

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...

Beyond the attentional blink : An electrophysiological study of processing facial emotional expression

Creator:: Stewart, Alicia V.
Abstract:: Behavioral studies have observed facial recognition bypass attentional limitations when performed with non-facial recognition tasks (e.g., a digit task). Awh et al. (2004) proposed this was due to multi-channel processing, where non-facial objects utilize a feature-based channel leaving the configural-based channel available for facial processing. We tested this hypothesis using...

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,...

Learning to attend: the influence of gain vs. loss on attention capture for younger and older adults

Creator:: Araujo, Derek S., Naylor, Jamie S., and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Previous studies have shown that both younger and older adults exhibit similar brain activity while anticipating monetary gain but older adults exhibit less brain activity comparing to younger adults while anticipating monetary loss. In Anderson et al.’s (2011) study, they found that visual search was slower with a salient, task-irrelevant...

Age- related memory change for emotional faces: are older adults more prone to forget angry faces?

Creator:: Hwee, Jennifer, Burros, Alison, MacKay, Kallie, 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 two experiments with age-related differences: the first assessed recognition memory for pictures of faces and how it is modulated...
