Asymmetric practices of reading and writing shape visuospatial attention and discrimination
Movement is generally conceived of as unfolding laterally in the writing direction that one is socialized into. In 'Western' languages, this is a left-to-right bias contributing to an imbalance in how attention is distributed across space. We propose that the rightward attentional bias exercises an additional unidirectional influence on discrimination performance thus shaping the congruency effect typically observed in Posner-inspired cueing tasks. In two studies, we test whether faces averted laterally serve as attention orienting cues and generate differences in both target discrimination latencies and gaze movements across left and right hemifields. Results systematically show that right-facing faces (i.e. aligned with the script direction) give rise to an advantage for cue-target pairs pertaining to the right (versus left) side of space. We report an asymmetry between congruent conditions in the form of right-sided facilitation for: (a) response time in discrimination decisions (experiment 1-2) and (b) eye-gaze movements, namely earlier onset to first fixation in the respective region of interest (experiment 2). Left and front facing cues generated virtually equal exploration patterns, confirming that the latter did not prime any directionality. These findings demonstrate that visuospatial attention and consequent discrimination are highly dependent on the asymmetric practices of reading and writing.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
The effect of simultaneously presented words and auditory tones on visuomotor performance
The experiment reported here used a variation of the spatial cueing task to examine the effects of unimodal and bimodal attention-orienting primes on target identification latencies and eye gaze movements. The primes were a nonspatial auditory tone and words known to drive attention consistent with the dominant writing and reading direction, as well as introducing a semantic, temporal bias (past–future) on the horizontal dimension. As expected, past-related (visual) word primes gave rise to shorter response latencies on the left hemifield and future-related words on the right. This congruency effect was differentiated by an asymmetric performance on the right space following future words and driven by the left-to-right trajectory of scanning habits that facilitated search times and eye gaze movements to lateralized targets. Auditory tone prime alone acted as an alarm signal, boosting visual search and reducing response latencies. Bimodal priming, i.e., temporal visual words paired with the auditory tone, impaired performance by delaying visual attention and response times relative to the unimodal visual word condition. We conclude that bimodal primes were no more effective in capturing participants’ spatial attention than the unimodal auditory and visual primes. Their contribution to the literature on multisensory integration is discussed.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio
Does the linguistic expectancy bias extend to a second language?
The linguistic expectancy bias (LEB) reflects the tendency to describe expectancy-consistent behavior more abstractly than expectancy-inconsistent. The current studies replicate the LEB in Portuguese and examine it in a second language (English). Earlier studies found differences in processing a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) shaping affective and cognitive processes. We did not expect these differences to shape the LEB because controlled lexical decisions (e.g., use of verbs and adjectives) are unlikely, even when using L2. Participants wrote stereotypically male or female behavioral descriptions for male and female targets. A new group of participants read those descriptions and was asked about their causes. Expectancy-consistent behavior was described more abstractly and shaped more dispositional inferences in L1 and L2. Aside from replicating the LEB in a different language, these studies indicate that structural features of language preserve a linguistic bias with implications for social perception even when using a second language.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio
Situating person memory: the role of the visual context on memory for behavioral information
Person memory has been mainly investigated as an individual process. In contrast, we argue that person memory results from the interplay between the individual and the context. Thus, the way people acquire and retrieve social information is constrained by the context in which these processes take place. This argument was explored in three experiments. In an impression formation paradigm, we manipulated the meaningfulness of contextual information (objects) for a stereotypical target. Results showed that meaningful contextual information presented during the encoding of behavioral information improved memory.for the behavioral information but also for the contextual information (Experiment 1-2); that this memory advantage only occurs when the encoding goal requires some degree of cognitive organization (Experiment 2); and finally, that meaningful contextual information also enhances memory when presented at retrieval (Experiment 3). These results are consistent with a situated cognition perspective according to which the context where cognitive activities take place can be used to facilitate cognitive activity. We discuss the implications of these results for the standard person memory view and identify new routes for future research.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio
Evaluation of the combining ability of CMS lines in crosses with samples of grain sorghum and Sudan grass
Received: April 2nd, 2021 ; Accepted: July 28th, 2021 ; Published: August 3rd, 2021 ; Correspondence: [email protected] versatility of use, species diversity, and high drought resistance have ensured the
demand for sorghum among agricultural crops in the world. Currently, the most promising
direction of breeding is the creation of F1 sorghum hybrids, which is based on the identification
and selection of parental forms with high combining ability. In this paper, the combining ability
analysis crosses of two hybridization schemes: grain×grain sorghum and grain sorghum×Sudan
grass was carried out using topcross method. Gene action governing inheritance of a particular
trait can be measured in terms of general and specific combining ability estimates, where general
combining ability effects are mostly indicative of additive gene action (ms (GCA)/ms (SCA)>1)and
specific combining ability effects - non-additive (ms (GCA)/ms (SCA)<1). Genes with an additive
effect participate in the genetic control of breeding-valuable traits, which is proven byms(GCA)/ms
(SCA) ratios changing within1.10-28.01 range. It is advisable to involve CMS-lines A3 Feterita 14,
A2 KVV 114 and A2 O-1237 to create high-yielding hybrids of grain sorghum; highly productive
sorghum-sudangrasshybridss - lines L-106, L-143 and Anastasiya, Kinelskaya 100, Elegiya
variety samples; with a high share of grain in the total biomass – Allegoriya, Krasnodarskaya 75
and Zonalskaya 6 variety samples. CMS lines are distinguished by high and average CA values
both in crosses with samples of grain sorghum and Sudan grass: by weight of 1,000 grains - A2
O-1237; by seed yield and weight of 1,000 grains - A2 KVV 114
