Beyond Bouma's window: How to explain global aspects of crowding?
Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Michael Clarke, Alban Bornet
In crowding, perception of an object deteriorates in the presence of nearby elements. Although crowding is a ubiquitous phenomenon, since elements are rarely seen in isolation, to date there exists no consensus on how to model it. Previous experiments show ...
2019No Evidence for a Common Factor Underlying Visual Abilities in Healthy Older People
Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Aaron Michael Clarke
The world's population is aging at an increasing rate. Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disorders, healthy aging affects perception and cognition. In the context of cognition, common factors are well established. Much less is known about common fac ...
AMER PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOC2019Multi-factorial approach in aging research
Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke
The developed world is aging faster than ever before. Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disease, aging affects all kinds of human functions including perception and cognition. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually foun ...
2017Multi-factorial approach in aging research
Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke
Aging affects all kinds of human functions including perception and cognition. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually found that older participants perform worse than younger participants. Implicitly, these results are taken a ...
2017About individual differences in vision
Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aaron Michael Clarke, Fred Mast
In cognition, audition, and somatosensation, performance strongly correlates between different paradigms, which suggests the existence of common factors. In contrast, visual performance in seemingly very similar tasks, such as visual and bisection acuity, ...
Elsevier2017A factorial approach in aging research
Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke
The population of developed countries is aging at an ever increasing rate. Even in the absence of neurodegenerative diseases, aging affects perceptual and cognitive functions that are crucial for everyday life. The effects of healthy aging on cognitive abi ...
2017What to Choose Next? A Paradigm for Testing Human Sequential Decision Making
Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Elisa Tartaglia
Many of the decisions we make in our everyday lives are sequential and entail sparse rewards. While sequential decision-making has been extensively investigated in theory (e.g., by reinforcement learning models) there is no systematic experimental paradigm ...
2017Tell me about your Ponzo and I will tell you who you are
Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aaron Michael Clarke, Fred Mast
Unlike in cognition, audition and somatosensation, performance between various visual tasks does not correlate. Surprisingly, even tasks that appear similar, like visual acuity and line bisection task do not share much common variance. Similar results were ...
2016Is there a common cause for perceptual decline in the aging brain?
Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke
Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disease, aging strongly affects vision. Whereas optical deficits are well documented, much less is known perceptual deficits. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually found that older par ...
Sage Publications Ltd2016What crowding can tell us about object representations
Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Mauro Manassi
In crowding, perception of a target usually deteriorates when flanking elements are presented next to the target. Surprisingly, adding further flankers can lead to a release from crowding. In previous work we showed that, for example, vernier offset discri ...
