“…This appears to suggest that Navon-induced processing bias can survive multiple face-recognition decisions: at least up to four trials. While we cannot determine whether or not later positions in the sequence would have shown the effect, the lack of an effect was contrary to our expectations, given that Weston and Perfect (2005) suggested that the effect may be short-lived. Given the many procedural differences between these two studies, and the practical importance of the issue, this is an area that warrants further exploration.…”

“…To date no studies have explored this issue, but there is related evidence to suggest that the processing bias effect may not survive many face-recognition judgements. Recently Weston and Perfect (2005) explored the effect of Navon-induced processing bias on recognition of composite faces, in a design that required participants to make a series of judgements. They found that Navon-induced processing bias had an effect in the trials that immediately followed the Navon phase, but that the effect wore off after only a few trials.…”

Recent work has demonstrated that performance on a simultaneous target-present photographic line-up can be enhanced by prior global processing orientation, and hindered by prior local processing orientation induced by processing Navon letter stimuli. A series of studies explore the generality of this processing bias effect using either videotaped scenarios or live interactions. Five experiments demonstrate that these effects are seen across a range of test stimuli, test formats, and test instructions. These data inform the processes engaged in by witnesses when making line-up identifications and indicate that it may be possible to improve the accuracy of witnesses making such judgements.

“…In Experiment 1, participants were often using over 10 putts to reach criterion. It is known form face recognition tasks that the Navon effect can be short lived (Hills and Lewis, 2007;Weston & Perfect, 2005) and so after the first 10 putts it is not likely that the task of interest is having any further effect on performance.…”

Expert or skilled behaviors (for example, face recognition or sporting performance) are typically performed automatically and with little conscious awareness. Previous studies, in various domains of performance, have shown that activities immediately prior to a task demanding a learnt skill can affect performance. In sport, describing the to-be-performed action is detrimental; whereas in face recognition, describing a face or reading local Navon letters is detrimental. Two golf-putting experiments are presented that compare the effects that these three tasks have on experienced and novice golfers. Experiment 1 found a Navon effect on golf performance for experienced players. Experiment 2 found, for experienced players only, that performance was impaired following the three tasks described above when compared to reading or global Navon tasks. It is suggested that the three tasks affect skilled performance by provoking a shift from automatic behavior to a more analytic style.By demonstrating similarities between effects in face recognition and sporting behavior, it is hoped to better understand concepts in both fields.Navon effects in golf performance 3

“…This task does not utilise face stimuli and it remains unclear whether it relates to DP (Duchaine, Yovel, & Nakayama, 2007). However, it has been used repeatedly as an analogue to assess the bias for processing faces holistically compared to on an individual featural level (Behrmann et al, 2005;Bentin, DeGutis, D'Esposito, & Robertson, 2007;Macrae & Lewis, 2002;Perfect, Weston, Dennis, & Snell, 2008;Weston & Perfect, 2005). Stimuli consisted of the outline of either a circle or square (global shapes), which was made up from either small circles or small squares (local shapes) (see Figure 4).…”
