Abstract Four experiments investigate the hypothesis that cues to direction of another's social attention produce a reflexive orienting an observer's visual attention. Participants were asked make simple detection response target letter which could appear at one four locations on display. Before presentation target, these possible was cued by orientation digitized head stimulus, appeared fixation in centre Uninformative and to-be-ignored cueing stimuli produced faster latencies relative...
Trying to remember something now typically improves your ability it later. However, after watching a video of simulated bank robbery, participants who verbally described the robber were 25% worse at identifying in lineup than instead listed U.S. states and capitals—this has been termed “verbal overshadowing” effect (Schooler & Engstler-Schooler, 1990). More recent studies suggested that this might be substantially smaller first reported. Given uncertainty about size, influence finding...
This article examined communication and task performance in face-to-face, copresent, video-mediated (VMC). Study 1 showed that when participants a collaborative problem-solving could both see hear each other, the structure of their dialogues differed compared with obtained they only heard other. The audio-only conversations had more words, these extra utterances often provided elicited verbal feedback functions, which visual signals can deliver available. 2, however, high-quality VMC did not...
Three experiments are reported that investigate the hypothesis head orientation and gaze direction interact in processing of another individual's social attention. A Stroop-type interference paradigm was adopted, which cues were placed into conflict. In separate blocks trials, participants asked to make speeded keypress responses contingent on either gaze, or displayed a digitized photograph male face. Experiments 1 2, showed symmetrical effects. Compared with congruent arrangements,...
An investigation of what can be learned about representational processes in face recognition from the independent and combined effects inverting negating facial images is reported. In experiment 1, inversion negation were observed a task identifying famous faces. experiments 2 through 4 question whether still obtained when due to reversal pigmentation negative eliminated was examined. By use 3-D surfaces faces measured by laser, displays as smooth devoid pigmentation, only reliably,...
Four experiments are reported that explore the processing of pointing gestures comprising hand, head and gaze cues to direction.The cross-modal interference effect exerted by hand on spoken directional words, first noted Langton et al. (1996), was found be moderated orientation gesturer's head/gaze (Experiment 1).Hand also produced bi-directional effects in a within-modality version task 2).These findings suggest both direction processed automatically parallel up stage where decision is...
We describe a set of face processing tests suitable for use with children aged from 4 to 10 years, which include expression, lipreading and gaze as well identification. The can be administered on paper or using computer, comparisons between the performance computer‐ paper‐based versions suggest that format administration makes little difference. present results obtained small samples at four different age groups (Study 1, computer‐based tests), larger three 2, tests) preschool years age....

The effectiveness of a cultivar evaluation system largely depends on the genetic correlation between genotype performance in multienvironment trials (MET) and target population environments (TPE). Previous classifications maize ( Zea mays L.) basis climate soil did not quantify their impact correlations among environments. Consequently, plant breeders have favored based similarity discrimination trials. However, these efforts frequently fail to provide adequate assessments TPE, since they...
Previous research has demonstrated an interaction between eye gaze and selected facial emotional expressions, whereby the perception of anger happiness is impaired when eyes are horizontally averted within a face, but fear sadness enhanced under same conditions. The current study reexamined these claims over six experiments. In first three experiments, categorization happy sad expressions (Experiments 1 2) angry fearful (Experiment 3) was averted, in comparison to direct Experiment 4...
Humans attend to faces. This study examines the extent which attention biases faces are under top-down control. In a visual cueing paradigm, observers responded faster target probe appearing in location of face cue than competing object ( Experiments 1a and 2a). effect could be reversed when were negatively predictive likely location, making it beneficial cues 1b 2b). It was easier still strategically shift Experiment 2c), indicating that endogenous allocation augmented here by an additional...
Artificial lighting is a particular problem for animals active at night. Approximately 69% of mammal species are nocturnal, and one-third these bats. Due to their extensive movements-both on nightly basis exploit ephemeral food supplies, during migration between roosts-bats have an unusually high probability encountering artificial light in the landscape. This paper reviews impacts bats prey, exploring direct indirect consequences intensity spectral composition. In addition, new data from...
The attentional spatial-numerical association of response codes (Att-SNARC) effect (Fischer, Castel, Dodd, & Pratt, 2003)—the finding that participants are quicker to detect left-side targets when the preceded by small numbers and right-side they large numbers—has been used as evidence for embodied number representations support strong claims about link between space (e.g., a mental line). We attempted replicate Experiment 2 Fischer et al. collecting data from 1,105 at 17 labs. Across...
A robust and cost-efficient method for monitoring some of Ireland's more common bat species was devised in 2003 has been carried out yearly since then. The objective the scheme is to provide information on population trends distributions Ireland. Night-time surveys are conducted July August, whereby vocalizations recorded from a time expansion detector minidisc while driving known route by car at constant speed. Bat subsequently analysed using sound analysis software. In Ireland, roadside...

Traditional accounts of gaze perception emphasise the geometric or configural cues present in eye; position iris relation to corner eye, for example. This kind account has been supported, part, by findings that judgments are impaired faces rotated through 180°, a manipulation known disrupt processing relations between facial elements. However, studies involving this have confounded inversion face context with eye region. The effects might therefore caused disruption computation direction...
