Visual perception changes as a function of hand proximity. While various theoretical
accounts have been offered for this alteration (attentional prioritisation, bimodal cell …

Object substitution masking (OSM) occurs when a sparse (eg, four-dot), temporally trailing
mask obscures the visibility of a briefly presented target. Here, we review theories of OSM …

Visual masking is a technique used in cognitive research to understand pre-conscious
processes (priming, for example), consciousness, visual limits, and perception issues …

The visual search paradigm has had an enormous impact in many fields. A theme running
through this literature has been the distinction between preattentive and attentive …

Object-substitution masking (OSM) refers to when the delayed disappearance of a sparse
mask that spatially surrounds but does not overlap the target impairs target perception. Two …

A central assumption of models proposed to explain object substitution masking (OSM) is
that the phenomenon arises only when attention is distributed across several possible target …

To investigate whether language rules the visual features that can be discriminated (a
radical assumption of linguistic relativity), we examined crosslinguistic differences between …

Visual perception is altered near the hands, and several mechanisms have been proposed
to account for this, including differences in attention and a bias toward magnocellular …

Conscious detection and discrimination of a visual target stimulus can be prevented by the
presentation a spatially nonoverlapping, but temporally trailing, visual masking stimulus …

Visual masking and attention have been known to control the transfer of information from
sensory memory to visual short-term memory. A natural question is whether these processes …
