V1 neurons signal acquisition of an internal representation of stimulus location.

A fundamental aspect of visuomotor behavior is deciding where to look or move next. Under certain conditions, the brain constructs an internal representation of stimulus location on the basis of previous knowledge and uses it to move the eyes or to make ...

ERPs evoked by different matrix sizes: implications for a brain computer interface (BCI) system.

A brain-computer interface (BCI) system may allow a user to communicate by selecting one of many options. These options may be presented in a matrix. Larger matrices allow a larger vocabulary, but require more time for each selection. In this study, ...

Garment sizes in perception of body size.

This paper reports an experimental investigation of the effect of garment size on perceived body size. The perceived body sizes of three Chinese men (thin, medium, and obese build) wearing different sizes of white T-shirts were assessed using Thompson ...

The Snodgrass and Vanderwart set revisited: norms for object manipulability and for pictorial ambiguity of objects, chimeric objects, and nonobjects.

In this paper, we propose a standardized set of 480 black-and-white line drawings, half meaningful and half meaningless. Meaningful pictures represent a common object, and were selected from the Snodgrass and Vanderwart set (1980). Meaningless pictures ...

On the interaction between perceptual and response selection: neuropsychological evidence.

We examined the relations between selection for perception and selection for action in a patient FK, with bilateral damage to his temporal and medial frontal cortices. The task required a simple grasp response to a common object (a cup) in the presence ...

Is color "categorical perception" really perceptual?

Roberson and Davidoff (2000) found that color categorical perception (CP; better cross-category than within-category discrimination) was eliminated by verbal, but not by visual, interference presented during the interstimulus interval (ISI) of a ...

Is a picture worth a thousand words? Preference for auditory modality in young children.

Linguistic labels play an important role in young childrens conceptual organization: When 2 entities share a label, people expect these entities to share many other properties. Two classes of explanations of the importance of labels seem plausible: a ...

Working memory and language: an overview.

Working memory involves the temporary storage and manipulation of information that is assumed to be necessary for a wide range of complex cognitive activities. In 1974, Baddeley and Hitch proposed that it could be divided into three subsystems, one ...

Validation of a driving simulator by measuring the visual attention skill of older adult drivers.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to validate a laboratory-based driving simulator as an off-road screening tool for older adult drivers by measuring their visual attention skill, and to determine how the visual attention skill changes across time ...

Early representational insight: twenty-four-month-olds can use a photo to find an object in the world.

The research reported here shows that under certain circumstances even 24-month-old children can display representational insight. Seventy-nine children participated in 3 studies in which a photo or video presentation could be used to guide their search ...
