Familiarity in Face Recognition : What Does Our Brain Tell us?

Creator:: Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Previous behavioral studies have suggested that the automaticity of face recognition depends on familiarity. We sought converging evidence for this claim using electrophysiological measures. In Experiment 1, participants first rated their familiarity with 6 male celebrities. They then performed dual tasks in which Task 1 required a tone/noise discrimination. For...

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...

The Temporal Dynamics of Visual Attention in Processing Facial Emotion

Creator:: Wiebke, Ashley, Weber, Emily, Markovics, Alyssia, Griswold, Sarah, 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 attentional blink (AB) effect suggests limited capacity in processing successive visual stimuli in working memory. Awh et al. (2004) found that face identity Target 2 was immune to...

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...

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...

Stimulus-response correspondence effect: Is our action altered by the presence of salient objects?

Creator:: Pedersen, Logan and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Our responses are faster when the response key location is compatible with target location than when it is incompatible, even when target location was irrelevant to the task (the Simon effect). This effect is observed even when two people shared the task (e.g., one pressing the left key and the...

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...

An Electrophysiological Study of Object-Based Correspondence Effects: Is Visual Processing Modulated by the Intended Action?

Creator:: Jardin, Elliott, Lien, Mei-Ching, and Proctor, Robert W.
Abstract:: Some studies have found that responses are faster when the orientation of an object’s graspable part corresponds with the response location than when it does not (i.e., the object-based correspondence effect). We examined Goslin et al.’s (2012) claim that the effect is the result of object-based attention (visual-action binding). As...

Attention Capture by Distractors Following a Switch in Search Strategy: Evidence for a Break Down of Top-Down Control

Creator:: Naylor, Jamie, Schuck, Sarah, and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Lien, Ruthruff, and Johnston (2010) reported that the attentional control system is able to rapidly and fully switch between different search settings (e.g., red to green), with no carryover. The present study examined whether such impressive flexibility is possible even with more complicated switches, namely singleton search and the feature...

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...

Do Fearful Facial Expressions Capture Attention Involuntarily?

Creator:: Taylor, Robinson and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: It has been claimed that stimuli signaling threat are processed rapidly and draw our attention (e.g., Fox, Russo, & Dutton, 2002). Similarly, it has been argued that expressions of fear have a strong pull on our attention because they signal threat (e.g., Phelps, Ling, & Carrasco, 2006; Vuilleumier & Schwartz,...

On the Control of Spatial Attention: Is There an Attentional Bias Toward Threatening Objects?

Creator:: Taylor, Robinson and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Stimuli signaling threat are often processed especially rapidly (e.g., Fox, Russo, & Dutton, 2002). Similarly, some studies have suggested that expressions of fear have a strong pull on our attention because they signal threat (e.g., Phelps, Ling, & Carrasco, 2006; Shaw, Lien, Ruthruff, & Allen, in press; Vuilleumier & Schwartz,...
