In compound detection or discrimination tasks, 1 prominent general mechanism to model the combination of the output of different processing channels is probability summation. The classical example is the binocular summation model of Pirenne (1943), according to which a weak visual stimulus is detected if at least 1 of the 2 eyes detects this stimulus; as we review briefly, exactly the same reasoning is applied in numerous other fields. It is generally accepted that this mechanism necessarily predicts performance based on 2 (or more) channels to be superior to single channel performance, because 2 separate channels provide "2 chances" to succeed with the task. We argue that this reasoning is misleading because it neglects the increased opportunity with 2 channels not just for hits but also for false alarms and that there may well be no redundancy gain at all when performance is measured in terms of receiver operating characteristic curves. We illustrate and support these arguments with a visual detection experiment involving different spatial uncertainty conditions. Our arguments and findings have important implications for all models that, in one way or another, rest on, or incorporate, the notion of probability summation for the analysis of detection tasks, 2-alternative forced-choice tasks, and psychometric functions.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{FischerShaki2014, author = {Fischer, Martin H. and Shaki, Samuel}, title = {Spatial biases in mental arithmetic}, series = {The quarterly journal of experimental psychology}, volume = {67}, journal = {The quarterly journal of experimental psychology}, number = {8}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {1747-0218}, doi = {10.1080/17470218.2014.927516}, pages = {1457 -- 1460}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @unpublished{ShakiFischer2014, author = {Shaki, Samuel and Fischer, Martin H.}, title = {Removing spatial responses reveals spatial concepts even in a culture with mixed reading habits}, series = {Frontiers in human neuroscienc}, volume = {8}, journal = {Frontiers in human neuroscienc}, publisher = {Frontiers Research Foundation}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {1662-5161}, doi = {10.3389/fnhum.2014.00966}, pages = {2}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @unpublished{FischerKnops2014, author = {Fischer, Martin H. and Knops, Andre}, title = {Attentional cueing in numerical cognition}, series = {Frontiers in psychology}, volume = {5}, journal = {Frontiers in psychology}, publisher = {Frontiers Research Foundation}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {1664-1078}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2014.01381}, pages = {3}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @unpublished{HartmannFischer2014, author = {Hartmann, Matthias and Fischer, Martin H.}, title = {Pupillometry: The eyes shed fresh light on the mind}, series = {Current biology}, volume = {24}, journal = {Current biology}, number = {7}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {0960-9822}, doi = {10.1016/j.cub.2014.02.028}, pages = {R281 -- R282}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Krahe2014, author = {Krah{\´e}, Barbara}, title = {Restoring the spirit of fair play in the debate about violent video games a comment on Elson and Ferguson (2013)}, series = {EUROPEAN PSYCHOLOGIST}, volume = {19}, journal = {EUROPEAN PSYCHOLOGIST}, number = {1}, publisher = {Hogrefe}, address = {Kirkland}, issn = {1016-9040}, doi = {10.1027/1016-9040/a000165}, pages = {56 -- 59}, year = {2014}, abstract = {This commentary argues that, rather than providing an "exhaustive review," Elson and Ferguson (2013) discuss a selective sample of empirical studies on violent video game use which corroborate their claim that there is no systematic evidence for a link between violent video game play and aggression.

They fail to distinguish between aggression and violence and between everyday and clinical forms of aggression. Furthermore, they misrepresent key constructs, such as mediation, moderation, and external validity, to discredit methodologies used to assess aggression and media violence use.

The first three papers look at how widespread the experience of IPV is among different groups of women, examine selected risk factors associated with heightened vulnerability to victimization, and discuss consequences of intimate partner victimization. Another two papers place the problem of IPV in the wider context of societal perceptions and attitudes about victims and perpetrators of IPV in different countries, whereas the last paper examines the role of individual differences in the management of emotions in the escalation or de-escalation of relationship conflict. In combination, the papers highlight the interplay between the macro level of social and cultural norms condoning the use of violence, the micro level of family relations and construction of couple relationships, and the individual level of attitudes and behaviors that precipitate IPV.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{LaubrockHohenstein2012, author = {Laubrock, Jochen and Hohenstein, Sven}, title = {Orthographic consistency and parafoveal preview benefit: A resource-sharing account of language differences in processing of phonological and semantic codes}, series = {Behavioral and brain sciences : an international journal of current research and theory with open peer commentary}, volume = {35}, journal = {Behavioral and brain sciences : an international journal of current research and theory with open peer commentary}, number = {5}, publisher = {Cambridge Univ.

A nonlinear model with delayed feedback control is proposed, which accounts for these dynamical transitions in terms of bifurcations resulting from variation of the external control parameter. Furthermore, it is shown that transitions can also be observed due to fluctuations in the timing control level. We conclude that the complexity of coordinated bimanual movements results from interactions between nonlinear control mechanisms with delayed feedback and stochastic timing components.}, language = {en} }
