Absolute identification by relative judgment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In unidimensional absolute identification tasks, participants identify stimuli that vary along a single dimension. Performance is surprisingly poor compared with discrimination of the same stimuli.

Is social categorization spatially organized in a “Mental Line”? Empirical evidences for spatial bias in intergroup differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Social categorization is the differentiation between the self and others and between one’s own group and other groups and it is such a natural and spontaneous process that often we are not aware of it.

Pupillometry: Psychology, Physiology, and Function

open access: yesJournal of Cognition, 2018
Pupils respond to three distinct kinds of stimuli: they constrict in response to brightness (the pupil light response), constrict in response to near fixation (the pupil near response), and dilate in response to increases in arousal and mental effort ...

“Invariants” in Koffka’s Theory of Constancies in Vision: Highlighting Their Logical Structure and Lasting Value

open access: yesGestalt Theory, 2017
By introducing the concept of “invariants”, Koffka (1935) endowed perceptual psychology with a flexible theoretical tool, which is suitable for representing vision situations in which a definite part of the stimulus pattern is relevant but not sufficient

Signals of threat do not capture, but prioritize, attention: a conditioning approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Research suggests that threatening information captures attention more rapidly than neutral information. However, in most studies threat stimuli differ perceptually from neutral stimuli and are instrumental to perform the task, leaving the question ...

Subjectively interpreted shape dimensions as privileged and orthogonal axes in mental shape space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The shape of an object is fundamental in object recognition but it is still an open issue to what extent shape differences are perceived analytically (i.e., by the dimensional structure of the shapes) or holistically (i.e., by the overall similarity of ...

Bayesian inference underlies the contraction bias in delayed comparison tasks. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Delayed comparison tasks are widely used in the study of working memory and perception in psychology and neuroscience. It has long been known, however, that decisions in these tasks are biased. When the two stimuli in a delayed comparison trial are small

A toolbox and sample object perception data for equalization of natural images

open access: yesData in Brief, 2015
For psychologists and neuroscientists, careful selection of their stimuli is essential, so that low-level visual features such as color or spatial frequency do not serve as confounds between conditions of interest.

A Mixed-Methods Approach Using Self-Report, Observational Time Series Data, and Content Analysis for Process Analysis of a Media Reception Phenomenon

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Due to the complexityof research objects, theoretical concepts, and stimuli in media research, researchers in psychology and communications presumably need sophisticated measures beyond self-report scales to answer research questions on media use ...
