Much evidence has shown that perception is biased towards previously presented similar
stimuli, an effect recently termed serial dependence. Serial dependence affects nearly every …

Visual processing varies dramatically across the visual field. These differences start in the
retina and continue all the way to the visual cortex. Despite these differences in processing …

Recent studies claim that visual perception of stimulus features, such as orientation,
numerosity, and faces, is systematically biased toward visual input from the immediate past …

Visual input often arrives in a noisy and discontinuous stream, owing to head and eye
movements, occlusion, lighting changes, and many other factors. Yet the physical world is …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

James J. Gibson's numerous theoretical and empirical contributions to the understanding of
how people perceive were innovative, controversial, often radical, and always profound …

This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

Measured changes in the mental representation of a visually presented pattern induced by a
prior sequence of static displays. In Exp I, 16 undergraduates were shown a static rectangle …

Recent experiments have shown that visual cognition blends current input with that from the
recent past to guide ongoing decision making. This serial dependence appears to exploit …

Human perceptual decisions can be repelled away from (repulsive adaptation) or attracted
towards recent visual experience (attractive serial dependence). It is currently unclear …
