Many models of cognition and of neural computations posit the use and estimation of prior
stimulus statistics,,,: it has long been known that working memory and perception are …

Categorization with basic color terms is an intuitive and universal aspect of color perception.
Yet research on visual working memory capacity has largely assumed that only continuous …

The central tendency bias is a robust finding in data from experiments using Likert scales to
elicit responses. The present paper offers a Bayesian perspective on this bias, explaining it …

This Element outlines the recent understanding of ensemble representations in perception
in a holistic way aimed to engage the general audience, novel and expert alike. The …

The origin of colour categories and their relationship to colour perception have been the
prime example for testing the influence of language on perception and thought (Sapir-Whorf …

This chapter surveys rational models of memory, which posit that memory is optimized to
store information that will be needed in the future, subject to the constraint that information …

Serial dependence, how immediately preceding experiences bias our current estimations,
has been described experimentally during delayed-estimation of many different visual …

Perceptual biases are widely regarded as offering a window into the neural computations
underlying perception. To understand these biases, previous work has proposed a number …

The ability to extract the mean of features from a rapidly viewed, heterogeneous array of
objects has been demonstrated for a number of different visual properties. Few studies have …

Previous work demonstrates that memory for simple stimuli can be biased by information
about the distribution of which the stimulus is a member. Specifically, people underestimate …
