Abstract
ABSTRACT According to action control theories, response and stimulus’ features are integrated into event files. Repeating any of an event file’s components retrieves the previously bound information, causing benefits for full repetition, but interference for partial repetition. Yet, such “binding effects” are absent in localization performance. By assuming sequential processing steps until response execution as assumed in visual search, we hypothesized that, for localization, participants can execute their response without the need to process target features. Hence, post-selective processing might be crucial for binding effects to emerge. Here, participants localized coloured targets appearing on one of four corners of a touchpad in two response conditions, namely, directly tapping on the target (direct response mapping), and tapping on the corner diagonal opposite to the target (translational response mapping). Only the translational response mapping yielded binding effects between localization response and colour. The direct response mapping instead showed an effect that is better explained by (non-spatial) Inhibition of Return or related change benefit effects. We conclude that an arbitrary response mapping – based on a translation of a spatial feature into a non-direct spatial response – can lead to binding effects even in localization tasks.
期刊介绍:
Visual Cognition publishes new empirical research that increases theoretical understanding of human visual cognition. Studies may be concerned with any aspect of visual cognition such as object, face, and scene recognition; visual attention and search; short-term and long-term visual memory; visual word recognition and reading; eye movement control and active vision; and visual imagery. The journal is devoted to research at the interface of visual perception and cognition and does not typically publish papers in areas of perception or psychophysics that are covered by the many publication outlets for those topics.
