Effects of cell phone presence on the control of visual attention during the Navon task
BackgroundAlthough cell phones can provide great convenience to our lives, research has shown that they can also affect our behavior, even when not...

Forests or trees? The effect of generating solutions to distant analogies on global–local processing
The present research was designed to examine the effect of solving distant analogies on global–local processing. In two experiments, participants...

Brief Report: Local–Global Processing and Co-occurrence of Anxiety, Autistic and Obsessive–Compulsive Traits in a Non-clinical Sample
PurposeIncreased local-to-global interference has been found in those with ASD, AD and OCD, and as such, may represent a transdiagnostic marker. As a...

Different deployments of attentional breadth selectively predict UFOV task performance in older adults
The Useful Field of View task (UFOV) is a strong and reliable predictor of crash risk in older drivers. However, while the functional domain of...

An updating-based working memory load alters the dynamics of eye movements but not their spatial extent during free viewing of natural scenes
The relationship between spatial deployments of attention and working memory load is an important topic of study, with clear implications for...

Both cute and threatening images drive narrowing of attention in men and women
Appraisal theories of emotion sustain that stimuli containing high biological relevance preferentially capture our attention, regardless of their...

A comparison between different variants of the spatial Stroop task: The influence of analytic flexibility on Stroop effect estimates and reliability
The spatial Stroop task measures the ability to resolve interference between relevant and irrelevant spatial information. We recently proposed a...

Holistic thinkers process divided-attention tasks faster: from the global/local perspective
Does cognitive style have influence functions? In this study, we build on the existing literature (e.g., McKone et al.,
2010 ; Hakim et al.,2016 ) in...

Factors Influencing the Accurate Identification of Written Minimal Pairs with Graphemic Similarity: Evidence from Persian-Speaking Children and Adults
In this study, we compared children’s and adults’ ability to accurately identify target words in written minimal pairs (WMPs) with graphemically...

Face and word composite effects are similarly affected by priming of local and global processing
Holistic processing has been shown with both faces and words, but it is unclear how similar their underlying mechanisms are. In this study attention...

Global or local processing: relationship between multicultural experiences and information processing of minority group members
This study explores whether minority group members with multicultural experiences tend to process information locally. To Experiment 1 and Experiment...

Local perception impairs the lexical reading route
Human perception of a visual scene is hierarchically organized. Such rapid, albeit coarse, global processing allows people to create a useful context...

Some like it “local”: A review of hierarchical processing in non-human animals
When seeing a visual image, humans prioritize the perception of global features, which is followed by the assessment of the local ones. This global...

Overlap** neurocognitive inefficiencies associated with higher disordered eating psychopathology in college women
Prior research has supported associations between neurocognitive inefficiencies, including set-shifting and central coherence, and disordered eating...

The detail is more pleasant than the whole: Global and local prime affect esthetic appreciation of artworks showing whole-part ambiguity
Esthetic experience is the result of the coordination of different cognitive processes. It has been widely reported that top-down processes of...

Can Performance in Navon Letters among People with Autism be Affected by Saliency? Reexamination of the Literature
Findings from Navon letters paradigm studies among individuals with autism spectrum disorder are inconsistent. The different results are often being...

Hierarchical Processing in ASD is Driven by Exaggerated Salience Effects, not Local Bias
The role of relative salience in processing of hierarchical stimuli in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was examined in this study....

Autism Traits and Cognitive Performance: Mediating Roles of Sleep Disturbance, Anxiety and Depression
Theories about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have addressed cognitive deficits however few have examined how comorbid diagnoses, including sleep...

Global and local interference effects in ensemble encoding are best explained by interactions between summary representations of the mean and the range
Through ensemble encoding, the visual system compresses redundant statistical properties from multiple items into a single summary metric (e.g.,...

No evidence for superior distractor filtering amongst individuals high in autistic-like traits
Autistic individuals and individuals with high levels of autistic-like traits often show better visual search performance than their neurotypical...
