Retrospective cue benefits in visual working memory are limited to a single location at a time
Working memory (WM) performance can be improved by an informative cue presented during storage. This effect, termed a retrocue benefit , can be used...

Evidence of target enhancement and distractor suppression in early visual areas
Although the mechanisms of target enhancement and distractor suppression have been investigated along the visual processing hierarchy, there remains...

Awareness-independent gradual spread of object-based attention
Although attention can be directed at certain objects, how object-based attention spreads within an object and whether this spread interacts with...

The effects of rhythmic structure on tapping accuracy
Prior investigations of simple rhythms in familiar time signatures have shown the importance of several mechanisms; notably, those related to...

Evidence from partially valid cueing that words are processed serially
There has been a longstanding debate about whether lexical and semantic processing of words is serial or parallel. We addressed this debate using...

Location- and object-based attention enhance number estimation
Humans and non-humans can extract an estimate of the number of items in a collection very rapidly, raising the question of whether attention is...

Are irrelevant items actively deleted from visual working memory?: No evidence from repulsion and attraction effects in dual-retrocue tasks
Some theories propose that working memory (WM) involves the active deletion of irrelevant information, including items that were retained in WM, but...

Effects of item distinctiveness on the retrieval of objects and object-location bindings from visual working memory
Visual working memory (VWM) is prone to interference from stored items competing for its limited capacity. Distinctiveness or similarity of the items...

Focused attention: its key role in gaze and arrow cues for determining where attention is directed
Others’ gaze direction and traffic arrow signal lights play significant roles in guiding observers’ attention in daily life. Previous studies have...

Mirror symmetry and aging: The role of stimulus figurality and attention to colour
Symmetry perception studies have generally used two stimulus types: figural and dot patterns. Here, we designed a novel figural stimulus—a wedge...

Reward makes the rhythmic sampling of spatial attention emerge earlier
A growing body of evidence demonstrates a rhythmic characteristic of spatial attention, with the corresponding behavioral performance fluctuating...

The missing piece in block design tasks: Resolving performance differences elicited by designs with identical stimulus parameters
Block design stimulus variables (perceptual cohesiveness, response uncertainty, partial components) have been previously shown to impact test...

Are you paying attention to me? The effect of social presence on spatial attention to gaze and arrows
Prior research has shown that the presence of another individual and type of attention cue (social gaze vs. nonsocial arrow) can modulate attention,...

Object-based selection in visual working memory
Attentional mechanisms in perception can operate over locations, features, or objects. However, people direct attention not only towards information...

TAT-HUM: Trajectory analysis toolkit for human movements in Python
Human movement trajectories can reveal useful insights regarding the underlying mechanisms of human behaviors. Extracting information from movement...

Awake targeted memory reactivation doesn’t work
Memories are pliable and can be biased by post-encoding information. In targeted memory reactivation (TMR) studies, participants encode information...

Internet use, users, and cognition: on the cognitive relationships between Internet-based technology and Internet users
BackgroundThis study aims to investigate growing Internet use in relation to memory and cognition. Though literature reveals human capability to...

A dynamic 1/f noise protocol to assess visual attention without biasing perceptual processing
Psychophysical paradigms measure visual attention via localized test items to which observers must react or whose features have to be discriminated....

Why does the probe value effect emerge in working memory? Examining the biased attentional refreshing account
People are able to prioritize more valuable information in working memory. The current study examined whether this value effect is due to the items...

No evidence for rhythmic sampling in inhibition of return
When exogenously cued, attention reflexively reorients towards the cued position. After a brief dwelling time, attention is released and then...
