You said you would! The predictability of other’s behavior from their intentions determines predictive biases in action perception

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 320-335 Abstract “The perception of an action is shifted farther along the observed trajectory if the observer has prior knowledge of the actor’s intention. This intention-action prediction effect is explained by predictive perception models, wherein sensory input is interpreted in light of

The average facial expression of a crowd influences impressions of individual expressions

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 311-319 Abstract “People can accurately assess the “mood of a crowd” by rapidly extracting the average intensity of all the individual expressions, when the crowd consists of a set of faces comprising different expressions of the same individual. Here, we investigate the

Working memory load and the retro-cue effect: A diffusion model account

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 286-310 Abstract “Retro-cues (i.e., cues presented between the offset of a memory array and the onset of a probe) have consistently been found to enhance performance in working memory tasks, sometimes ameliorating the deleterious effects of increased memory load. However, the mechanism

Combined effects of form- and meaning-based predictability on perceived clarity of speech

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 277-285 Abstract “The perceptual clarity of speech is influenced by more than just the acoustic quality of the sound; it also depends on contextual support. For example, a degraded sentence is perceived to be clearer when the content of the speech signal

Identifying the locus of compatibility-based backward crosstalk: Evidence from an extended PRP paradigm

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 261-276 Abstract “The backward crosstalk effect (BCE) in dual tasking means that characteristics of Task 2 of 2 subsequently performed tasks influence Task 1 performance. This observation indicates that certain features of the second response are already activated to some degree before

Beyond opponent coding of facial identity: Evidence for an additional channel tuned to the average face

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 243-260 Abstract “Face identity can be represented in a multidimensional space centered on the average. It has been argued that the average acts as a perceptual norm, with the norm coded implicitly by balanced activation in pairs of channels that respond to

Are goal states represented during kinematic imitation?

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 226-242 Abstract “A number of studies have shown that observation of another person’s actions can modulate one’s own actions, such as when 2 individuals cooperate in order to complete a joint task. However, little is known about whether or not direct matching

Decision-making training reduces the attentional blink

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 195-205 Abstract “Practice or training on a particular task often yields gains for the trained task; however, the extent to which these benefits generalize to other stimuli/tasks is contentious. It has been suggested that behavioral decision-making/response selection training may enhance temporal visual

Introspection of subjective feelings is sensitive and specific

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 215-225 Abstract “Conversely to behaviorist ideas, recent studies suggest that introspection can be accurate and reliable. However, an unresolved question is whether people are able to report specific aspects of their phenomenal experience, or whether they report more general nonspecific experiences. To
