Accepted manuscripts
Accepted manuscripts or express manuscripts are the version of manuscript accepted for publication in a journal, prior to the copy editing and typesetting process to create the final article PDF. The content of an express manuscript is substantively the same as the final article PDF. Final versions of these papers will be published following the copy editing and typesetting process.

Abstract
Visual working memory (VWM) operates within structured environments, yet it remains debated whether representations are guided primarily by the global scene configuration (gist) or the intrinsic features of objects. This question extends to cognitive ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 11, 2026

Abstract
Research has consistently shown that emotional stimuli are more memorable than neutral ones—a phenomenon known as the emotionally enhanced memory (EEM) effect. This memory benefit, however, is thought to come at the cost of reduced memory for contextual ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 9, 2026
Abstract
The adverse effects of social media have been widely studied, but most research focused on internalization of beauty standards, body attitudes, and self-enhancement intentions rather than observable behavioral responses. In this pre-registered experiment, ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 6, 2026
Abstract
How readers use multiple sources of information to determine where to move their eyes during reading is a central question in eye movement control. In Chinese reading, both preview and contextual information have been shown to modulate saccade target ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 4, 2026
Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of masked priming in influencing brand preference under goal-relevant conditions. Two experiments with 510 undergraduate students in China tested word and image masked priming (Study 1) and auditory masked priming ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 3, 2026
Abstract
The nature of the link between speech perception and production is extensively debated. One question in this debate concerns the possible use of shared representations. Talker representations encode information about particular talkers’ speech and are ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 3, 2026
Abstract
Directional pointing tasks—particularly judgments of relative direction (JRDs)—have advanced research on spatial memory. However, overreliance on a single task like JRDs may miss nuances in how spatial information is processed and represented. Therefore, ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 3, 2026
Abstract
When people produce sentences, they can either proceed incrementally word by word (Linear Incrementality) or by preparing larger conceptual-syntactic frameworks (Hierarchical Incrementality). While the scope of advance planning is generally affected by ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 3, 2026
Abstract
Word learning usually takes place when there is background noise in the environment and these noise levels can hamper word learning. There is substantial evidence to suggest that orthography promotes word learning. This study tests the hypothesis that ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 3, 2026

Abstract
Previous research has shown that observers can predict the target object of a grasping action from early hand preshaping cues. However, two critical questions remain unexplored: how predictions adapt to the available kinematic information and evolve ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published April 3, 2026

Abstract
Sá-Leite & Lago (2024) highlighted the role of word form in gender processing by integrating a dual-route mechanism for grammatical gender activation (Gollan & Frost 2001) into the AUSTRAL model of lexical access (Taft, 1991; Taft, 2006). However, prior ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 29, 2026
Abstract
This study examined how orthographic characteristics relate to the learning and retention of novel written words in monolingual English and bilingual Welsh–English adults. Participants learned pseudowords designed to follow either English-like (opaque) or ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 29, 2026
Abstract
The oculomotor system has been proposed to play a critical role in both exogenous attentional facilitation and inhibition of return (IOR). According to the premotor theory of attention, enhanced sensory processing arises from the preparation of an eye ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 27, 2026
Abstract
Masked priming paradigms have been widely used to investigate the processing of nonconscious visual stimuli. Few studies have considered that trial-by-trial assessments of prime visibility turn masked priming paradigms into dual-tasking situations. In our ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 27, 2026
Abstract
Numerous studies using the dot-probe task showed that stimuli associated with current goals (induced by instructions) are attentionally prioritized despite not sharing features with the search targets. However, the exact nature of this prioritization ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 17, 2026
Abstract
A key goal for organisms in competitive social interactions is learning strategies that outperform opponents. Despite the ample literature on modeling strategic behaviors in games, little research has parametrically examined the degree to which ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 17, 2026

Abstract
Studies of alphabetic languages have proposed a hierarchical organization of visual features/units for word orthographic representations. The Chinese writing system has a highly complex spatial structure in which a character is a combination of components ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 17, 2026
Abstract
In a prior set of experiments, we examined drivers of attentional selection within interactive search, specifically focusing on the role of effort (Dewis et al., 2025). We concluded that searchers adopted an easy-first strategy, prioritizing selections ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 13, 2026

Abstract
Multiple findings suggest that human visual perception exhibit extensive size invariance (i.e., insensitivity to retinal image size changes) for multiple object categories. This is often investigated when retinal image size changes following real world ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 13, 2026

Abstract
When people make risky choices based on prior experience, biases in learning and memory can affect their preferences. One such bias is the primacy effect, whereby outcomes experienced during initial learning disproportionately affect later memory and ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published March 4, 2026
Abstract
How does nominal identity emerge from featural information in a face-matching task with unfamiliar faces? The present study extends the classic same–different paradigm to the domain of unfamiliar face matching and proposes a hierarchical serial self-...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published February 25, 2026

Abstract
Convergent evidence suggests that the transfer effects engendered by training studies are tied to specific task features. The present study examined transfer in a set of three hierarchically nested change detection tasks (CDTs) using a tightly controlled ...Open AccessResearch articleFirst published April 2, 2025
