The fully updated eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook provides
comprehensive yet accessible coverage of all the key areas in the field ranging from visual …

Coarse-to-fine theories of vision propose that the coarse information carried by the low
spatial frequencies (LSF) of visual input guides the integration of finer, high spatial …

Visual analysis begins with the parallel extraction of different attributes at different spatial
frequencies. Low spatial frequencies (LSF) convey coarse information and are characterized …

Evidence on newborns' discrimination of emotional facial expressions is scarce, and the
question of what is the nature of the visual information that newborns rely on to perform such …

Historically, electrophysiological correlates of scene processing have been studied with
experiments using static stimuli presented for discrete timescales where participants …

Is color a critical feature in emotional content extraction and involuntary attentional orienting
toward affective stimuli? Here we used briefly presented emotional distractors to investigate …

The visual perception of human faces by man is fast and efficient compared to that of other
categories of objects. Using a saccadic choice task, recent studies showed that participants …

The early visual system is composed of spatial frequency-tuned channels that break an
image into its individual frequency components. Therefore, researchers commonly filter …

Studies on scene perception have shown that the rapid extraction of low spatial frequencies
(LSF) allows a coarse parsing of the scene, prior to the analysis of high spatial frequencies …

Visual scene perception is based on reciprocal interactions between central and peripheral
information. Such interactions are commonly investigated through the semantic congruence …
