An Electrophysiological Dual-Task Study of Visual Word Processing without Task Switching

Creator:: Khoja, Nadia, Lien, Mei-Ching, and Ruthruff, Eric
Abstract:: A previous dual-task study (Lien, Ruthruff, Cornett, Goodin, & Allen, 2008) provided evidence that people have difficulty identifying words while central attention is devoted to another non-word task. In that study, participants performed an auditory Task 1 regarding tone pitch and a visual word Task 2. However, it’s possible that...

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...

Electrophysiological Evidence for the Failure of Salient Stimuli to Capture Attention, Even When Presented Rarely

Creator:: Lien, Mei-Ching, Noesen, Birken, and Ruthruff, Eric
Abstract:: Some studies suggest that attention can be captured by irrelevant, salient objects when they appear rarely. We addressed this issue using the N2pc effect, a lateralized, negative voltage spike in the brain potentials in parietal cortex, thought to reflect attentional allocation. A cue display was followed by a target display...

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...

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 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...
