New paper out in @PsychScience with @chrispaffen, @SvanderStigchel, & @SuryaGayet. We used three distinct paradigms and consistently found that statistical learning influences the prioritization of visual objects in accessing consciousness. OA: doi.org/10.1177/095679…

Once you eventually select those other times for your next round of search, they are encoded more efficiently thanks to these memory traces.

In sum, when you are repeatedly checking your shopping list for the next two/three items to search for, through visual exposure, you build up latent memory traces for the other items on your list as well!

🚨New paper out in JEP:HPP with @AndreSahakian @SuryaGayet Chris Paffen @SvanderStigchel！In this study, we asked whether memory traces are formed for items that have not yet been selected for immediate action, while we are actively sampling targets for imminent action.

🚨My first paper with @SamsonChota @LUZIXU1 @SvanderStigchel @SuryaGayet accepted in Consciousness and Cognition (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) We asked whether the impact of VWM content on early visual processing depends on the priority state of memory items

New paper accepted in JEP-General (preprint: osf.io/preprints/soca…) with @SuryaGayet & @NathanvdStoep. We show that observers use both hearing & vision for localizing static objects, but rely on a single modality to report & predict the location of moving objects. 1/9

@PsychScience @chrispaffen @SvanderStigchel @SuryaGayet A big thanks to my supervisors Surya Gayet, Chris Paffen, and Stefan Van der Stigchel for their incredible support！

In these four experiments, we provided strong evidence for the impact of statistical learning on consciousness and shed new light on how statistical learning influences subsequent cognitive processes that depend on consciousness (e.g., memory, language, and decision making).

Consistently, an additional experiment using a detection-discrimination dissociation paradigm reaffirmed higher localization sensitivity to objects with probable features.
