Representational gravity: Empirical findings and theoretical implications

TL Hubbard - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2020 - Springer
Judgment of the location of a previously viewed moving or stationary target is often
displaced in the direction of implied gravitational attraction, and this has been referred to as …

The possibility of an impetus heuristic

TL Hubbard - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2022 - Springer
Evidence consistent with a belief in impetus is drawn from studies of naïve physics,
perception of causality, perception of force, and representational momentum, and the …

Accounting for long-term motivation and sustained motivated learning: Motivational currents, self-concordant vision, and persistence in language learning

Z Dörnyei, A Henry - Advances in motivation science, 2022 - Elsevier
Although temporal conceptualizations of motivational processes have not held center stage
in motivation science, the situation is currently changing. Drawing on work in the subfield of …

Constructing expertise: Surmounting performance plateaus by tasks, by tools, and by techniques

WD Gray, S Banerjee - Topics in Cognitive Science, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Acquiring expertise in a task is often thought of as an automatic process that follows
inevitably with practice according to the log‐log law (aka: power law) of learning. However …

Melting ice with your mind: Representational momentum for physical states

A Hafri, T Boger, C Firestone - Psychological Science, 2022 - journals.sagepub.com
When a log burns, it transforms from a block of wood into a pile of ash. Such state changes
are among the most dramatic ways objects change, going beyond mere changes of position …

The speed prior account: A new theory to explain multiple phenomena regarding dynamic information.

S Merz, P Soballa, C Spence… - Journal of Experimental …, 2022 - psycnet.apa.org
Our perception of moving stimuli is prone to systematic biases. Different biases, for example
concerning the perceived speed, or spatial location, of a dynamic, moving stimulus, have …

Newtonian predictions are integrated with sensory information in 3D motion perception

AR Deeb, E Cesanek, F Domini - Psychological Science, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com
Because the motions of everyday objects obey Newtonian mechanics, perhaps these laws
or approximations thereof are internalized by the brain to facilitate motion perception …

Acceleration neglect in trend extrapolations.

M Ostinelli, D Luna - Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Many decisions rely on intuitive predictions based on time series data showing a trend. For
instance, the current upward trend in global temperatures might lead to specific predictions …

Rotating objects cue spatial attention via the perception of frictive surface contact

HB Nguyen, B van Buren - Cognition, 2024 - Elsevier
We report a new attentional cueing effect, which shows how attention models the physical
force of friction. Most objects we see are in frictive contact with a 'floor', such that clockwise …

Does a concurrent motor process influence representational momentum?

S Merz, J Weiten, TL Hubbard - Perception, 2023 - journals.sagepub.com
Whether the direction of a hand motion that is congruent or incongruent with a concurrent
target motion can influence representational momentum for that target was examined …
