Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science (2022)
Journal Article
Clark, K., Birch-Hurst, K., Pennington, C. R., Petrie, A. C. P., Lee, J. T., & Hedge, C. (2022). Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science. Journal of Vision, 22(8), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.22.8.18

Research in perception and attention has typically sought to evaluate cognitive mechanisms according to the average response to a manipulation. Recently, there has been a shift toward appreciating the value of individual differences and the insight g... Read More about Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science.

The predictability of a target’s motion influences gaze, head, and hand movements when trying to intercept it (2019)
Journal Article

Does the predictability of a target’s movement and of the interception location influence how the target is intercepted? In a first experiment, we manipulated the predictability of the interception location. A target moved along a haphazardly curved...

Who should be searching? Differences in personality can affect visual search accuracy (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Visual search is an everyday task conducted in a wide variety of contexts. Some searches are mundane, such as finding a beverage in the refrigerator, and some have life-or-death consequences, such as finding improvised explosives at a security...

Visual search performance is predicted by both prestimulus and poststimulus electrical brain activity (2016)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2016. An individual's performance on cognitive and perceptual tasks varies considerably across time and circumstances. We investigated neural mechanisms underlying such performance variability using regression-based analyses to examin...

What can 1 billion trials tell us about visual search? (2015)
Journal Article

Mobile technology (e.g., smartphones and tablets) has provided psychologists with a wonderful opportunity: through careful design and implementation, mobile applications can be used to crowd source data collection. By garnering massive amounts of dat... Read More about What can 1 billion trials tell us about visual search?.

Improvement in visual search with practice: Mapping learning-related changes in neurocognitive stages of processing (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 the authors. Practice can improve performance on visual search tasks; the neural mechanisms underlying such improvements, however, are not clear. Response time typically shortens with practice, but which components of the stimulus–response pro...

Face symmetry assessment abilities: Clinical implications for diagnosing asymmetry (2013)
Journal Article

Introduction An accurate assessment of face symmetry is necessary for the development of a dentofacial diagnosis in orthodontics, and an understanding of individual differences in perception of face symmetry between patients and providers is needed t...

Context matters: The structure of task goals affects accuracy in multiple-target visual search (2013)
Journal Article

Career visual searchers such as radiologists and airport security screeners strive to conduct accurate visual searches, but despite extensive training, errors still occur. A key difference between searches in radiology and airport security is the str... Read More about Context matters: The structure of task goals affects accuracy in multiple-target visual search.

Enhanced facial symmetry assessment in orthodontists (2013)
Journal Article

Assessing facial symmetry is an evolutionarily important process, which suggests that individual differences in this ability should exist. As existing data are inconclusive, the current study explored whether a group trained in facial symmetry assess... Read More about Enhanced facial symmetry assessment in orthodontists.

Assessing visual search performance differences between Transportation Security Administration Officers and nonprofessional visual searchers (2013)
Journal Article

Some visual searches depend upon accuracy (e.g., radiology, airport security screening), and it is important for both theoretical and applied reasons to understand what factors best predict performance. The current study administered a visual search...

A Bayesian Optimal Foraging Model of Human Visual Search (2012)
Journal Article

Real-world visual searches often contain a variable and unknown number of targets. Such searches present difficult metacognitive challenges, as searchers must decide when to stop looking for additional targets, which results in high miss rates in mul...

Enhanced change detection performance reveals improved strategy use in avid action video game players (2010)
Journal Article

Recent research has shown that avid action video game players (VGPs) outperform non-video game players (NVGPs) on a variety of attentional and perceptual tasks. However, it remains unknown exactly why and how such differences arise; while some prior...

See an object, hear an object file: Object correspondence transcends sensory modality (2010)
Journal Article

An important task of perceptual processing is to parse incoming information into distinct units and to keep track of those units over time as the same, persisting representations. Within the study of visual perception, maintaining such persisting obj... Read More about See an object, hear an object file: Object correspondence transcends sensory modality.
