Working memory capacity for biological motion: a virtual reality examination
Biological motion (BM), the movements of animate entities, contains rich social information and has been extensively explored in visual science. Consistent with a fixed-capacity view of working memory (WM), pr...

Does the presence of more features in a bound representation in working memory require extra object-based attention?
Recent studies have examined the role of attention in retaining bound representations in working memory (WM) and found that object-based attention plays a pivotal role. However, no study has investigated wheth...

Visual working-memory capacity load does not modulate distractor processing
Over the last decade, researchers have explored the influence of visual working-memory (WM) load on selective attention in general, by focusing on the modulation of visual WM load on distractor processing in p...

Object-based attention in retaining binding in working memory: Influence of activation states of working memory
It has been suggested that retaining bindings in working memory (WM) requires more object-based attention than retaining constituent features. Recent studies have found that when memorized stimuli are presente...

Open AccessPersonality Openness Predicts Driver Trust in Automated Driving
Maintaining an appropriate level of trust in automated driving (AD) is critical to safe driving. However, few studies have explored factors affecting trust in AD in general, and no study, as far as is known, h...

Using a Kinect sensor to acquire biological motion: Toolbox and evaluation
Biological motion (BM) is the movement of animate entities, which conveys rich social information. To obtain pure BM, researchers nowadays predominantly use point-light displays (PLDs), which depict BM through...

Bindings in working memory: The role of object-based attention
Over the past decade, it has been debated whether retaining bindings in working memory (WM) requires more attention than retaining constituent features, focusing on domain-general attention and space-based att...

Working memory capacity of biological movements predicts empathy traits
Working memory (WM) and empathy are core issues in cognitive and social science, respectively. However, no study so far has explored the relationship between these two constructs. Considering that empathy take...

Open AccessObject-based Encoding in Visual Working Memory: Evidence from Memory-driven Attentional Capture
Visual working memory (VWM) adopts a specific manner of object-based encoding (OBE) to extract perceptual information: Whenever one feature-dimension is selected for entry into VWM, the others are also extract...

Does high memory load kick task-irrelevant information out of visual working memory?
The limited capacity of visual working memory (VWM) requires the existence of an efficient information selection mechanism. While it has been shown that under low VWM load, an irrelevant simple feature can be ...

Open AccessPriming global and local processing of composite faces: revisiting the processing-bias effect on face perception
We used the composite-face illusion and Navon stimuli to determine the consequences of priming local or global processing on subsequent face recognition. The composite-face illusion reflects the difficulty of ...

The reconfiguration of task set has no effect on the efficiency of feature search
In this study, we investigated whether or not the reconfiguration of a set task could modulate the efficiency of feature search. In Experiment 1, target set size was manipulated. The results revealed that enum...
