Seeing two as one: linking apparent motion and repetition blindness

Article Abstract:

A study on visual perception was conducted to examine the relations between two forms of tokens, the apparent motion and repetition blindness (RB). In RB, repeated items are more difficult to perceive than unrepeated items. Meanwhile, apparent motion tokens where used to link a sequence of alphanumeric characters in the displays used. Results reveal inconsistencies with refractory period or memory retrieval accounts of RB and support the role of object tokens in both apparent motion and RB.

Left-hemisphere advantage for click consonants is determined by linguistic significance and experience

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the left-hemisphere superiority for speech perception. The objective was to determine if language-specific phonological experience restricts perception of nonnative phonemic contrasts according to their degree of phonetic similarity to native phonemes. A sample of right-handed native speakers of American English, Xhosa or Zulu participated in the study. Results indicate that linguistic processing and experience are crucial in speech perception.
