Integration of syntactic and semantic information in predictive processing: cross-linguistic evidence from German and English.

Two visual-world eyetracking experiments were conducted to investigate whether, how, and when syntactic and semantic constraints are integrated and used to predict properties of subsequent input. Experiment 1 contrasted auditory German constructions such ...

Neural substrates of perceptual enhancement by cross-modal spatial attention.

Orienting attention involuntarily to the location of a sudden sound improves perception of subsequent visual stimuli that appear nearby. The neural substrates of this cross-modal attention effect were investigated by recording event-related potentials to ...

Multimodal visual-somatosensory integration in saccade generation.

Neurophysiological studies have demonstrated multisensory interaction effects in the neural structures involved in saccade generation when visual, auditory or somatosensory stimuli are presented bimodally. Visual-auditory interaction effects have been ...

A sideways look at configural encoding: two different effects of face rotation.

Inversion has a disproportionate disruptive effect on the recognition of faces. This may be due to the disruption of holistic or configural encoding employed to recognise upright faces. The paradigm developed by Tanaka and Farah (1993 Quarterly Journal ...

Effects of scene inversion on change detection of targets matched for visual salience.

This work examines how context may influence the detection of changes in flickering scenes. Each scene contained two changes that were matched for low-level visual salience. One of the changes was of high interest to the meaning of the scene, and the ...

Change detection in an attended face depends on the expectation of the observer.

Sensitivity to a scene change during a brief interruption depends critically on a match between what the observer expects to see and the kind of change that occurs (Austen & Enns, 2000). The present study tested the generality of this conclusion using ...

Pointing to body parts: a double dissociation study.

Since Picks seminal studies on autotopagnosia dating back to the beginning of last century, no agreement has been reached regarding the nature of the putative representations underlying the act of pointing to body parts. One influential account proposed ...

Does the bandpass linear filter response predict gradient lightness induction? A reply to Fred Kingdom.

It is argued that lightness illusions induced by luminance gradient cannot be accounted for by the response of a bandpass linear filter as recently claimed by Kingdom (Perception 28 ...

Effects of algebraic and absolute luminance differences on achromatic surface grouping.

The algebraic luminance difference corresponding to a uniform achromatic surface on a uniform achromatic background determines the dark or light quality and the extent of this quality in the achromatic colour of the surface, while the absolute value of ...

Effects of the Ebbinghaus illusion on different behaviors: one- and two-handed grasping; one- and two-handed manual estimation; metric and comparative judgment.

Many studies have suggested that visually-guided action is largely immune to the effects of several pictorial illusions that strongly influence perceptual judgments. The judgments in these experiments, however, have usually involved comparisons of ...
