Specular highlights improve colour constancy when other cues are weakened (2020)
Journal Article
Wedge-Roberts, R., Aston, S., Beierholm, U., Kentridge, R., Hurlbert, A., Nardini, M., & Olkkonen, M. (2020). Specular highlights improve colour constancy when other cues are weakened. Journal of Vision, 20(12), 1-22. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.20.12.4

Previous studies suggest that to achieve color constancy, the human visual system makes use of multiple cues, including a priori assumptions about the illumination (“daylight priors”). Specular highlights have been proposed to aid constancy, but the... Read More about Specular highlights improve colour constancy when other cues are weakened.

Combining the senses: the role of experience- and task-dependent mechanisms in the development of audiovisual simultaneity perception (2020)
Journal Article
Petrini, K., Denis, G., Love, S., & Nardini, M. (2020). Combining the senses: the role of experience- and task-dependent mechanisms in the development of audiovisual simultaneity perception. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 46(10), 1105-1117. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000827

The brain’s ability to integrate information from the different senses is essential for decreasing sensory uncertainty and ultimately limiting errors. Temporal correspondence is one of the key processes that determines whether information from differ...

Boundaries in Spatial Cognition: Looking like a Boundary is More Important than Being a Boundary (2020)
Journal Article
Negen, J., Sandri, A., Lee, S., & Nardini, M. (2020). Boundaries in Spatial Cognition: Looking like a Boundary is More Important than Being a Boundary. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 46(6), 1007-1021. https://doi.org/10.1037/xlm0000760

Large walls and other typical boundaries strongly influence neural activity related to navigation and the representations of spatial layouts. They are also major aids to reliable navigation behavior in young children and nonhuman animals. Is this bec...

The Difficulty of Effectively Using Allocentric Prior Information in a Spatial Recall Task (2020)
Journal Article
Negen, J., Bird, L., King, E., & Nardini, M. (2020). The Difficulty of Effectively Using Allocentric Prior Information in a Spatial Recall Task. Scientific Reports, 10, Article 7000. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-62775-5

Prior information represents the long-term statistical structure of an environment. For example, colds develop more often than throat cancer, making the former a more likely diagnosis for a sore throat. There is ample evidence for effective use of pr...

Bayesian transfer in a complex spatial localization task (2020)
Journal Article
Kiryakova, R., Aston, S., Beierholm, U., & Nardini, M. (2020). Bayesian transfer in a complex spatial localization task. Journal of Vision, 20(6), Article 17. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.20.6.17

Prior knowledge can help observers in various situations. Adults can simultaneously learn two location priors and integrate these with sensory information to locate hidden objects. Importantly, observers weight prior and sensory (likelihood) informat... Read More about Bayesian transfer in a complex spatial localization task.
