The impact of hand dominance on haptic and visual size comparisons
The present study investigated the impact of handedness on haptic and visual size comparisons. Moreover, we sought to determine whether strength differences between the hands are correlated with lateral differences between judged sizes. Therefore, 80 left-handed and 80 right-handed young adults (without additional constraints on individual characteristics except for those required by the experimental tasks) completed a bimanual haptic size-compar…
Response Requirements Shape the Spatial Coding of Location-Specific Adjustments to Conflict Frequency
Humans adjust to the frequency of conflicting stimuli so that the detrimental behavioral effects of frequent conflicts become smaller than those of rare conflicts. These adjustments become contingent on the locations where frequent and infrequent conflicts have been encountered. Experimentally such phenomena are studied by means of conflict tasks, a prominent one being the Simon task of the present experiments. Our Simon task involved four stimul…
The impact of visuomotor skills on two pen-and-paper tests of sustained attention (d2-R, Fair)
We investigated the impact of motor skills on performance in two pen-and-paper tests of selective attention, the d2-R and the FAIR-2. Both tests require a visual search for target stimuli presented in a random order with distractor stimuli. In the d2-R, participants have to mark each target with a short stroke. In the FAIR-2, participants are required to draw a continuous line under each stimulus series that remains below the distractors, whereas…
Different grasping experiences affect mapping effects but not correspondence effects between stimulus size and response location
Spatial-numerical associations of manual response codes are strongly asymmetrical
Effects of repeated testing in a pen-and-paper test of selective attention (Fair-2)
The FAIR-2 (‘Frankfurter Aufmerksamkeitsinventar’) is a pen-and-paper test of visual attention in which participants have to search for targets among distractors. For similar pen-and-paper tests of attention (e.g., d2), the repetition of the test causes large improvements in performance that threaten both its (retest) reliability and validity. We investigated the size and possible sources of practice effects in the FAIR-2 in three experiments. In…
Automaticity of facial attractiveness perception and sex-specific mating strategies
A Stroop Effect for Spatial Orientation
The author investigated the conditions under which a congruent or incongruent orientation word affects processing of the orientation of visual objects. Participants named the orientation of a rectangle that partially occluded another rectangle. Congruent or incongruent orientation words appeared in the relevant object, in the irrelevant object, or in the background. There were two main results. First, congruent orientation words produced faster o…
