Perceptual averaging on relevant and irrelevant featural dimensions Open
Here we report four experiments that explore the nature of perceptual averaging. We examine the evidence that participants recover and store a representation of the mean value of a set of perceptual features that are distributed across the…

A critical appraisal of the Dual Process account of moral judgment Open
The Dual Process account asserts that moral judgments are the result of a competition between two independent decision processes: a utilitarian process and a deontological/affective process. We trace the development of the dual process acc…

In Vision It Is Groups, Rather Than Maps, That Determine How We Perceive the World Open
This paper presents the results of a study that used a speeded counting task to adjudicate between two competing theories of how perceptual representations of visual objects are derived. Boolean map (BM) theory assumes that there are stric…

A Novel Waveform-Tracking BLE Receiver Open
We present a first-ever waveform-tracking receiver (RX) with type-II phase-tracking loop. In this preprint, a novel nonlinear filter in the feedback path is proposed to obtain better interference rejection performance. This digital nonline…

Consciousness, motivation, and free will Open
It is argued that the exercise of free will plays a part in the production of behaviour, with the argument focusing primarily on the implied roles of the various contents of consciousness, including, in particular, motivational states. Som…

What is it like to be colour‐blind? A case study in experimental philosophy of experience Open
What is the experience of someone who is “colour‐blind” like? This paper presents the results of a study that uses qualitative research methods to better understand the lived experience of colour blindness. Participants were asked to descr…

A Mathematical Model of How People Solve Most Variants of the Number‐Line Task Open
Current understanding of the development of quantity representations is based primarily on performance in the number‐line task. We posit that the data from number‐line tasks reflect the observer's underlying representation of quantity, tog…

The nature of shape constancy mechanisms as revealed by shape priming Open
Five shape priming experiments are reported in which the target was either a five- or six-sided line-drawn figure and participants made a speeded two-alternative forced-choice judgment about the target's number of sides. On priming trials,…

The processing of images of biological threats in visual short-term memory Open
The idea that there is enhanced memory for negatively, emotionally charged pictures was examined. Performance was measured under rapid, serial visual presentation (RSVP) conditions in which, on every trial, a sequence of six photo-images w…

Appraising the role of visual threat in speeded detection and classification tasks Open
This research examines the speeded detection and, separately, classification of photographic images of animals. In the initial experiments each display contained various images of animals and, in the detection task, participants responded …
