Research in the allied domains of selective attention and perceptual independence has
made great advances over the past 5 decades ensuing from the foundational ideas and …

Face matching consists of the ability to decide whether two face images (or more) belong to
the same person or to different identities. Face matching is crucial for efficient face …

Composite faces fuse the top half of one face with the bottom half of another. These stimuli
inflict a strong illusion of a novel face on their viewers, and are often considered to be …

Little is known about the mental representation of large multidigit numbers that are usually
beyond our personal experience. The present study explored the processing mechanisms of …

Physical size modulates the efficiency of digit comparison, depending on whether the
relation of numerical magnitude and physical size is congruent or incongruent (Besner & …

Composite faces combine the top half of one face with the bottom half of another to create a
compelling illusion of a new face. Evidence for holistic processing with composite faces …

Composite faces fuse the top and bottom halves from two different faces to create a powerful
illusion of a novel face. It has been argued that composite faces are processed holistically …

We applied the methodology known as the system factorial technology (SFT) to diagnose
the information-processing architecture underlying the size-congruity effect (SCE) in …

In early studies employing the SFT, the stimuli were simple visual signals, mainly dots, lines,
or letters of the alphabet. Although this feature facilitated focusing on theory development, it …

Classic theories of attention assume that the processing of a target's featural dimension (eg,
color) is contingent on the processing of its spatial location. The present study challenges …
