Auditory spatial cues’ influence on Simon Effect

Effect of Auditory Sensory Deprivation on the Visual Simon Effect:

Influence of Correlated Visual Cues on Auditory Signal Detection

Two experiments investigated the effects on aUditory signal detection of introducing visual cues that were partially correlated with the signal events. The results were analyzed in terms of a detection model that assumes that such cue-signal correlations will not affect sensitivity, but will instead cause the subject to develop separate response biases for each cue. The model specifies a functi...

The differential effect of vibrotactile and auditory cues on visual spatial attention.

Previous research has shown that the presentation of spatially predictive auditory and vibrotactile warning signals can facilitate driver responses to driving events seen through the windscreen or rearview mirror. The present study investigated whether this facilitation reflects the priming of the appropriate response (i.e. braking vs. accelerating) or an attentional cuing effect (i.e. a percep...

The effect of hair on auditory localization cues.

Previous empirical and analytical investigations into human sound localization have illustrated that the head-related transfer function (HRTF) and interaural cues are affected by the acoustic material properties of the head. This study utilizes a recent analytical treatment of the sphere scattering problem (which accounts for a hemispherically divided surface boundary) to investigate the contri...

The Influence of Spatial Distance Cues on Affect and Evaluation

Current conceptualizations of psychological distance (e.g., construal-level theory) refer to the degree of overlap between the self and some other person, place, or point in time. We propose a complementary view in which perceptual and motor representations of physical distance influence people’s thoughts and feelings without reference to the self, extending research and theory on the effects o...
