Selection of events in time enhances activity throughout early visual cortexKhena M Swallow
Department of Psychology and Center for Cognitive Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
J Neurophysiol 108:3239-52. 2012..Thus temporal selection of behaviorally relevant stimuli enhances, rather than reduces, activity in perceptual regions involved in processing other information...- Changes in events alter how people remember recent informationKhena M Swallow
Washington University in St Louis, WA, USA
J Cogn Neurosci 23:1052-64. 2011..These data strongly suggest that the segmentation of ongoing activity into events is a control process that regulates when memory for events is updated... - The role of timing in the attentional boost effectKhena M Swallow

The Attentional Boost Effect: Transient increases in attention to one task enhance performance in a second taskKhena M Swallow
Department of Psychology and Center for Cognitive Sciences, University of Minnesota, USA
Cognition 115:118-32. 2010..The appearance of occasional, task-relevant events appears to trigger a temporal orienting response that facilitates processing of concurrently attended information (Attentional Boost Effect)...- Event boundaries in perception affect memory encoding and updatingKhena M Swallow
Department of Psychology, Washington University in St Louis, USA
J Exp Psychol Gen 138:236-57. 2009..These data indicate that perceptual event boundaries have immediate consequences for what, when, and how easily information can be remembered... 
Sequences learned without awareness can orient attention during the perception of human activityKhena M Swallow
Washington University, St Louis, Missouri, USA
Psychon Bull Rev 15:116-22. 2008..These results suggest that human activity sequences can be learned without awareness and can be used to adaptively guide behavior...- Goal-relevant events need not be rare to boost memory for concurrent imagesKhena M Swallow
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, 75 East River Road, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Atten Percept Psychophys 74:70-82. 2012..We concluded that selectively attending to events that require an overt or covert response enhances the processing of concurrent information... - Reading stories activates neural representations of visual and motor experiencesNicole K Speer
Washington University in St Louis, MO 63130, USA
Psychol Sci 20:989-99. 2009..These results support the view that readers understand a story by simulating the events in the story world and updating their simulation when features of that world change... - Event perception: a mind-brain perspectiveJeffrey M Zacks
Department of Psychology, Washington University, St Louis, MO 63130, USA
Psychol Bull 133:273-93. 2007.... - Visual motion and the neural correlates of event perceptionJeffrey M Zacks
Department of Psychology, Washington University, 1 Brookings Drive, Saint Louis, MO 63130, USA
Brain Res 1076:150-62. 2006..These results indicate a role for movement features in the perceptual processing of meaningful events, and in the neural basis of that processing... - Attending to unrelated targets boosts short-term memory for color arraysTal Makovski
Department of Psychology and Center for Cognitive Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Neuropsychologia 49:1498-505. 2011..Together these results suggest that detecting a target facilitates the encoding of unrelated information into visual short-term memory... - Activation of human motion processing areas during event perceptionNicole K Speer
Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci 3:335-45. 2003..These results suggest that motion cues, and possibly eye movements, may play key roles in event structure perception... - The visual attractor illusionTal Makovski
Department of Psychology and Center for Cognitive Sciences, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, MN 55455, USA
J Vis 10:1.1-16. 2010..Alternatively, localization of a masked target may be weighted toward the position of a concurrently presented visual transient... - The unilateral field advantage in repetition detection: effects of perceptual grouping and task demandsMatthew T Hayes
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
Atten Percept Psychophys 72:583-90. 2010..Thus, decreasing grouping strength and increasing computational complexity did not reduce the UFA. Results are interpreted in terms of the callosal degradation account of the UFA... - Reliability of functional localization using fMRIKhena M Swallow
Washington University, St. Louis, MO 63130-1125, USA
Neuroimage 20:1561-77. 2003..We conclude that, for typical sample sizes and numbers of observations per subject, functional localization is most reliable when performed for each individual using data in atlas space... - Guidance of spatial attention by incidental learning and endogenous cuingYuhong V Jiang
Department of Psychology
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 39:285-97. 2013..Thus, although both incidental learning and endogenous cuing can effectively guide attention, endogenous cuing takes precedence over incidental learning. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved)... - Correction to swallow et Al. (2009)Khena M Swallow
Department of Psychology, Washington University
J Exp Psychol Gen 140:140. 2011..These data indicate that perceptual event boundaries have immediate consequences for what, when, and how easily information can be remembered. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)... - Rapid acquisition but slow extinction of an attentional bias in spaceYuhong V Jiang
Department of Psychology
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 39:87-99. 2013..Long-term persistence differentiates incidentally learned attentional biases from the more flexible goal-driven attention. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved)... - The time course of attentional deployment in contextual cueingYuhong V Jiang
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, S251 Elliott Hall, 75 East River Road, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Psychon Bull Rev 20:282-8. 2013..The lack of an increase in contextual cueing with increasing cue durations suggests that as an implicit learning mechanism, contextual cueing cannot be effectively used until search begins... - Directing attention based on incidental learning in children with autism spectrum disorderYuhong V Jiang

Cognition 126:378-90. 2013..Critically, the attentional bias moved with the participant, shifting to a previously sparse quadrant on the screen. Incidental learning of a target's likely locations led to a persistent, egocentric spatial bias...
