Faster recognition of graspable targets defined by orientation in a visual search task

Beyond inhibitory control training: Inactions and actions influence smartphone app use through changes in explicit liking.

“…Specifically, people have better recognition memory for go objects compared to no-go objects after the task, which is attributed to enhanced memory for action-relevant go stimuli (Yebra et al, 2019). Episodic memory could influence choices in several ways: People may prefer items for which they have good episodic memory (e.g., Murty, FeldmanHall, Hunter, Phelps, & Davachi, 2016), or action-relevant objects grasp visual attention (Bamford, Klassen, & Karl, 2020) and visual attention can influence choices independent of stimulus evaluation (Gwinn, Leber, & Krajbich, 2019). Thus, GNG training may influence choices via two paths: by decreasing evaluations of no-go objects and by enhancing memory for action-relevant go objects (which does not enhance evaluations of go objects; see Experiment 1).…”

Perceived depth modulates perceptual resolution

“…Hence, these results suggest that the close advantage occurs even when depth is solely defined by pictorial cues and therefore cannot be fully explained by the classic PPS/EPS account. Instead, the close advantage phenomenon might be better accounted for by affordance, the mere potential for action offered by objects (Bamford et al, 2020). For instance, a recent study by O'Connor et al, 2021 shows that spatial proximity to reward increases impulsive behaviour since objects of greater value (such as a food reward) can afford a more valuable outcome in closer proximity.…”

Graspness Discovery in Clutters for Fast and Accurate Grasp Detection

“…In cognitive area, researchers have studied the visual attention during grasping for a long period. Many literature [2,3,17,23,41] demonstrated that human bias the allocation of available percep-tual resources, named as affordance attention, towards the region with the highest graspability. And such attention usually precedes the action preparation stage [2].…”
