26. March 2018 : Two perform better than the best individual without any information exchange & performance similarities predict the group benefit.
New publ.:

https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0191179
When humans perform tasks together, they may reach a higher performance in comparison to the best member of a group (i.e., a collective benefit).
In this study, we investigated collective benefits for joint visuospatial tasks. We tested whether dyads and triads reach a collective...

14. November 2017 : New publication on the limitations of visual processing
04. October 2017 : Top-down information influences eye movements quickly after movie cuts
How are eye movements affected by movie cuts? These two studies demonstrate the influence of top-down information, i.e. the task:
Valuch et al.
Seywerth et al.
These studies explored the task influence of on eye movements in dynamic edited scenes. When task relevant, matching regions across cuts are fixated earlier and more often. Participants with viewing intentions made more and earlier fixations on scene regions that matched across cuts, compared to nonmatching scene regions. However, in...
