Judgments of Synchrony Between Auditory and Moving or Still Visual Stimuli

Dec 01, 2007; Fouriezos, George; Capstick, Gary; Monette, François; Bellemare, Christine; Parkinson, Matthew; Dumoulin, Angela ... Abstract The flash-lag effect is a visual illusion wherein intermittently flashed, stationary stimuli seem to trail after a moving visual stimulus despite being flashed synchronously. We tested hypotheses that the flash-lag effect is due to spatial extrapolation, shortened perceptual ...

On the Uniqueness of Attentional Capture by Uninformative Gaze Cues: Facilitation Interacts With the Simon Effect and is Rarely Followed by IOR

Dec 01, 2007; McKee, Darren; Christie, John; Klein, Raymond ... Abstract Orienting to an uninformative peripheral cue is characterized by a brief facilitation followed by a long-lasting inhibition once attention is removed from the cued location. Although central gaze cues cause reflexive orienting, the inhibitory effect that is relatively ubiquitous ...

Familiarization Effects for Bilingual Letter Detection Involving Translation or Exact Text Repetition

Dec 01, 2007; Thomas, Holly Krech; Healy, Alice F; Greenberg, Seth N ... Abstract In two experiments, English-Spanish bilinguals read passages, performing letter detection on some passages by circling target letters as they read. Detection passages were sometimes familiarized (primed) by prior reading of the same passage or a translation of it. Participants ...

L'influence de la taille typique des objets dans une tâche de catégorisation

Dec 01, 2007; Ferrier, Laurent; Staudt, Arnaud; Reilhac, Gilles; Jiménez, Manuel; Brouillet, Denis ... Résumé Cet article porte sur l'influence de la taille typique dans une tâche de catégorisation. L'originalité de notre travail repose sur l'homogénéité de la taille graphique des stimuli. Nous avons commencé par construire une norme de taille typique des stimuli, celle-ci porte sur la taille ...

Homophone Effects in Visual Word Recognition Depend on Homophone Type and Task Demands

Dec 01, 2007; Kerswell, Linda; Siakaluk, Paul D; Pexman, Penny M; Sears, Christopher R; Owen, William J ... Abstract This experiment examined how the characteristics of homophones and their mates influence homophone effects, as a function of task demands. Two types of homophones were presented: 1) low-frequency homophones with higher-frequency mates that are not animal names (e.g., maid - ...

Behavioural Phenotyping of Transgenic Mice

Dec 01, 2007; Brown, Richard E ... Abstract This paper reviews the current work on mouse genetics, brain, and behaviour in my laboratory. It starts with an historical account of our research and shows how certain research themes, such as olfaction, learning, social behaviour, and environmental effects in rodents have led ...
