Moral cognition: An interdisciplinary investigation of judgment versus action
… environments and combined approaches from social psychology, experimental philosophy, computer science, robotics, and speculative design. Over the course of six experiments with more than 200 participants, simulated moral actions made in Virtual Reality were found to be dissociated from moral …

Thought and action: Event-related potentials and behaviour in a primed and speeded lexical decision task.
To examine the relation between cognitive and response processes, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from 10 subjects during semantically primed lexical decisions in an Accuracy condition (response deadline 700 msec) and a Speed condition (deadline 450 msec). Targets were the prime's …

Supporting Joint Human-Computer Judgment Under Uncertainty
Overall, the results revealed that the integrated, human-computer architecture supported including humans into the loop without loss in judgment quality. In some cases, the joint, human-computer system outperformed either the human or the model alone. Implications and future directions are …

Contextual Effects in Tax Research: An Experimental Investigation of Adaptivity and Expert Performance in an Information Search Task
Based on a detailed analysis of the two tax decision-making contexts, planning and compliance, I predict that tax practitioners who know that the contexts differ in particular ways will conduct broader information search in planning than in compliance. I also predict that the nature of the decision …

Anticipation of Movement Outcome Through Perception of Movement Kinematics
The influence of three types of visual displays and the relative importance of different body segments for the anticipation of movement outcome was investigated. Twelve novice and 13 expert tennis players participated in three experiments. In Experiment 1, the players observed the movements of an …

Automaticity and Control in the Effect of Arousal on Persuasion
The study failed to detect the mediating role of accessibility and attribution. This failure is likely to be due to issues related to the measurement sequence. However, the study did show differences in the moderating role of awareness under the different processing strategy conditions. The results …

"The Role of a ""Limited Retinal Search Region"" in the Perception of a Visually Stable World"
"The proximal stimulus shifts position on our retinae with each saccade, but we perceive our world as stable and continuous, a phenomenon known as visual stability. An intra-saccadic stimulus shift paradigm was used to study this phenomenon. Most theories of visual stability implicitly assume the …

An Analysis of the Immersed Perspective Flight Path Display Benefit: Benefits of Preview, Prediction, and Frame of Reference
The results showed that preview benefits were greater than those of prediction. An interaction of prediction and preview was found, with the benefits of prediction sometimes being contingent on the presence of preview. Explanations of control order account for the finding that prediction and …

Parallel Response Selection in Dual -Tasks
Why is it so difficult to do two things at once? Many accounts of dual-task performance have suggested that the answer lies in the concept of a central processing bottleneck---a stage of processing that can only be performed for one task at a time. Using variations of the Psychological Refractory …

Three-Dimensional Navigation and Integrated Hazard Display in Advanced Avionics: Performance, Situation Awareness, and Workload
In Experiment 2, twenty-four pilots flew a series of approaches while, during simulation freezes, estimating the outside world locations of queried traffic represented in the same IHD formats compared in the first experiment when the display was either present or blank. Overall, the 3D exocentric …

Effects of Automation Failures During a Visual Inspection Task on Reliance and Visual Skill Acquisition: A Comparison Between Direct and Indirect Cueing
The present study investigated the use of two automated aids of different reliabilities in a luggage screening task. A Direct Cue consisting of a green circle around a potential target directs attention to a specific part of the luggage image, while an Indirect Cue, consisting of a green border …

The Distracted Driver: Modeling the Impact of Information Bandwidth, in -Vehicle Task Priority, and Spatial -Separation on Driver Performance and Attention Allocation
The introduction of new in-vehicle technologies (IVTs) and telematics into the automobile creates additional tasks that drivers may perform while driving. To the extent that these devices interfere with driving performance there will be concerns for safety. In three experiments, we explored how …

Effects of Display Dimensionality, Conflict Geometry, and Time Pressure on Conflict Detection and Resolution Performance Using a Cockpit Display of Traffic Information
Finally, as time pressure and workload increased, performance issues arose that will need to be further investigated so that future display designs can accommodate pilots who will be multitasking in high time pressure environments.

Imperfect Diagnostic Automation: How Adjusting Bias and Saliency Affects Operator Trust
We report three experiments that examine the effects of imperfect automation on operator trust and dependence. By manipulating the automation bias to either present false alarms or misses, the data reveal patterns of operator behavior consistent with a multiple-process cognitive model that allows …

Perceptions of Correlations Between Multiple Cues
"Previous research has shown that subjects assess inaccurately correlations between discrete variables. A set of experiments was designed to extend this scenario to the assessment of a third non-focal correlation in a trivariate distribution when the first two focal correlations are provided. Four …

The Examination of Aging and Attention Control With Optical Imaging
The purpose of this dissertation project was to utilize a detailed analysis to start exploring the contributions of aging and individual differences to attention control. Experiment I describes eye movement, behavioral, and event-related optical signal (EROS) data during blocked versions of the …

Emotional Awareness and Peculiar Beliefs
The relations between emotional awareness and peculiar beliefs were examined in two studies with college student participants. Emotional awareness includes facets representing the extent to which emotions are attended to, and to which their source and their type (i.e., anger vs. fear) are …
