Natural environments convey information through multiple sensory modalities, all of which
contribute to people's percepts. Although it has been shown that visual or auditory content of …

Natural scenes deliver rich sensory information about the world. Decades of research has
shown that the scene-selective network in the visual cortex represents various aspects of …

A defining feature of children's cognition is the especially slow development of their attention.
Despite a rich behavioral literature characterizing the development of attention, little is …

Statistical learning allows us to discover myriad structures in our environment, which is
saturated with information at many different levels—from items to categories. How do children …

Decades of research have uncovered the neural basis of place (or “scene”) processing in
adulthood, revealing a set of three regions that respond selectively to visual scene information, …

One critical feature of children’s cognition is their relatively immature attention. Decades of
research have shown that children’s attentional abilities mature slowly over the course of …

A recent neuroimaging study in adults found that the occipital place area (OPA)—a cortical
region involved in “visually guided navigation” (ie moving about the immediately visible …

It has been shown that attention can modulate the processing of a stimulus, even when it is
invisible (Bahrami, Carmel, Walsh, Rees, & Lavie, 2008, Perception, 37, 1520–1528). …

Recent studies suggest that attention is necessary for perceptual alternations in binocular
rivalry. It has been shown that attention plays a role in not only accelerating but also even …

Verbally describing a previously seen face can impair subsequent recognition of the described
face. Although this phenomenon, known as the verbal overshadowing effect, has been …
