Dopaminergic contributions to distance estimation in Parkinson’s disease: A sensory-perceptual deficit?
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-01)Recent research has found that perceptual deficits exist in Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet the link between perception and movement impairments is not well understood. Inaccurate estimation of distance has the potential to ... -
Exogenous Cuing and Perceptual Matching Judgments of Orientation and Motion
(University of Waterloo, 2012-02-03)A series of experiments is described which uses a perceptual matching approach to study the effect of exogenous visual cues on perception of static and dynamic stimuli. Analogous experiments were carried out for orientation ... -
How Locomotion Concerns Influence Perceptual Judgments
(Guilford Press, 2017-06-01)Successful self-regulation involves both assessment (e.g., making the right choices) and locomotion (e.g., managing change and movement). Regulatory mode theory is a motivational framework that highlights the ways in which ... -
The influence of redundant spatial regularities in statistical and sequence learning
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-22)The following two studies examined the influence of spatial regularities on our ability to learn and predict frequencies and sequences of events. Research into statistical and sequence learning has demonstrated that we can ... -
Underestimation of Dual-Task Response Time is Not Caused by Delayed Perception
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-01)In the Psychological Refractory Period (PRP) paradigm, the stimuli for two separate tasks are presented in rapid succession. The stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) is typically varied, resulting in slower responses to Task 2 ...
