Keeping it real: Looking beyond capacity limits in visual cognition
Á Kristjánsson, D Draschkow - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2021 - Springer
Research within visual cognition has made tremendous strides in uncovering the basic
operating characteristics of the visual system by reducing the complexity of natural vision to …

Dissociating implicit and explicit ensemble representations reveals the limits of visual perception and the richness of behavior
Our senses provide us with a rich experience of a detailed visual world, yet the empirical
results seem to suggest severe limitations on our ability to perceive and remember. In recent …

Conscious and unconscious processing of ensemble statistics oppositely modulate perceptual decision-making.
Our visual system possesses a remarkable ability to extract summary statistical information
from groups of similar objects, known as ensemble perception. It remains elusive whether …

You see what you look for: Targets and distractors in visual search can cause opposing serial dependencies
Visual perception is, at any given moment, strongly influenced by its temporal context—what
stimuli have recently been perceived and in what surroundings. We have previously shown …

[HTML][HTML] Extracting statistical information about shapes in the visual environment
It is well known that observers can use so-called summary statistics of visual ensembles to
simplify perceptual processing. The assumption has been that instead of representing …

[HTML][HTML] Testing temporal integration of feature probability distributions using role-reversal effects in visual search
The visual system is sensitive to statistical properties of complex scenes and can encode
feature probability distributions in detail. But does the brain use these statistics to build …

What kind of empirical evidence is needed for probabilistic mental representations? An example from visual perception
Recent accounts of perception and cognition propose that the brain represents information
probabilistically. While this assumption is common, empirical support for such probabilistic …

The influence of the tested item on serial dependence in perceptual decisions
Serial dependence in vision reflects how perceptual decisions can be biased by what we
have recently perceived. Serial dependence studies test single items' effects on perceptual …

Priming effect of individual similarity and ensemble perception in visual search and working memory
W Lin, J Qian - Psychological Research, 2024 - Springer
Perceptual priming is a well-known phenomenon showing that the repetition of an object's
feature can facilitate subsequent detection of that item. Although the priming effect has been …
