A Bayesian model of capacity across trials Open

Elizabeth Fox, Joseph W. Houpt · 2021

In nearly all situations, a person's performance varies across time (i.e., trials), for example due to vigilance decrements or training. When the performance depends on multiple sources of information, the variation could be either due to …

Configural sensitivity to inter-letter spacing in visual word perception Open

Hanshu Zhang, Joseph W. Houpt, Peter Enneson · 2021

The word superiority effect refers to the phenomenon that people have better recognition of letters presented within words as compared to recognition of isolated letters. Although many previous research on how the spatial relations between…
