Despite considerable interest in both action perception and social attention over the last 2
decades, there has been surprisingly little investigation concerning how the manual actions …

Over the past 10 years, perception scientists have uncovered a surprising connection
between people's vision and their hands. There is now compelling evidence that how …

Observers experience affordance-specific biases in visual processing for objects within the
hands' grasping space, but the mechanism that tunes visual cognition to facilitate action …

Although previous work provides evidence that observers experience biases in visual
processing when they view stimuli in perihand space, a few recent investigations have …

Previous studies have revealed that humans prioritize attention to the space near their
hands (the so-called near-hand effect). This effect may also occur towards a human partner's …

Recent literature has demonstrated that hand position can affect visual processing, a set of
phenomena termed Near Hand Effects (NHEs). Across four studies we looked for single …

We investigated whether stimuli are integrated with responses that are merely observed, but
not executed by oneself, and examined the moderating role of mutual dependency between …

Recent research in monkeys and humans has shown that the presence of the hands near an
object enhances spatial processing for objects presented near the hand. This study aimed to …

Research on spatial attention traditionally focuses on how it is influenced by the location of
objects within the visual environment and by expectations about those objects. However, a …

Interacting with other people is a ubiquitous part of daily life. A complex set of processes
enable our successful interactions with others. The present research was conducted to …
