A Visual Short-Term Memory Advantage for Objects of Expertise by Curby, Kim M, Glazek, Kuba, Gauthier, Isabel

“…Visual short-term memory (VSTM) is limited, especially for complex objects. Its capacity, however, is greater for faces than for other objects; this advantage…”

Enhanced visual short-term memory in action video game players by Blacker, Kara J., Curby, Kim M.

“…Visual short-term memory (VSTM) is critical for acquiring visual knowledge and shows marked individual variability. Previous work has illustrated a VSTM…”

Effects of action video game training on visual working memory by Blacker, Kara J, Curby, Kim M, Klobusicky, Elizabeth, Chein, Jason M

“…The ability to hold visual information in mind over a brief delay is critical for acquiring information and navigating a complex visual world. Despite the…”

A visual short-term memory advantage for faces by CURBY, Kim M, GAUTHIER, Isabel

“…What determines how much can be stored in visual short-term memory (VSTM)? Studies of VSTM have focused largely on stimulus-based properties such as the number…”

When It's Not Worn on the Face: Trait Anxiety and Attention to Neutral Faces Semantically Linked to Threat by Curby, Kim M, Collins, Jessica A

“…While our direct observations of the features or behaviours of the stimuli around us tell us much about them (e.g., should they be feared?), the origin of much…”

Bidirectional communication between amygdala and fusiform gyrus during facial recognition by Herrington, John D., Taylor, James M., Grupe, Daniel W., Curby, Kim M., Schultz, Robert T.

“…Decades of research have documented the specialization of fusiform gyrus (FG) for facial information processes. Recent theories indicate that FG activity is…”

Mimicking Facial Expressions Facilitates Working Memory for Stimuli in Emotion-Congruent Colours by Sivananthan, Thaatsha, Most, Steven B, Curby, Kim M

“…It is one thing for everyday phrases like "seeing red" to link some emotions with certain colours (e.g., anger with red), but can such links measurably bias…”

Interference between face and non-face domains of perceptual expertise: a replication and extension by Curby, Kim M, Gauthier, Isabel

“…As car expertise increases, so does interference between the visual processing of faces and that of cars; this suggests performance trade-offs across domains…”

Behind the face of holistic perception: Holistic processing of Gestalt stimuli and faces recruit overlapping perceptual mechanisms by Curby, Kim M., Moerel, Denise

“…Holistic processing, demonstrated by a failure of selective attention to individual parts within stimuli, is often considered a relatively unique feature of…”

To the Trained Eye: Perceptual Expertise Alters Visual Processing by Curby, Kim M., Gauthier, Isabel

“…Perceptual expertise refers to learning that is specific to a domain, that transfers to new items within the trained domain, and that leads to automatic…”

The other-race effect in face recognition: Do people shift criterion equally for own- and other-race faces? by Guilbert, Daniel, Kinoshita, Sachiko, Curby, Kim M.

“…People are better at recognizing own-race faces than other-race faces. This other-race effect in face recognition typically manifests in sensitivity (i.e.,…”

The time course of holistic processing is similar for face and non-face Gestalt stimuli by Curby, Kim M., Teichmann, Lina

“…There is evidence that holistic processing of faces and other stimuli rich in Gestalt perceptual grouping cues recruit overlapping mechanisms at early…”

Holistic processing is modulated by the probability that parts contain task-congruent information by Curby, Kim M., Teichmann, Lina, Peterson, Mary A., Shomstein, Sarah S.

“…Holistic processing of face and non-face stimuli has been framed as a perceptual strategy, with classic hallmarks of holistic processing, such as the composite…”

Real world familiarity does not reduce susceptibility to emotional disruption of perception: evidence from two temporal attention tasks by Guilbert, Daniel, Most, Steven B., Curby, Kim M.

“…The visual system has been found to prioritise emotional stimuli so robustly that their presence can temporarily "blind" people to non-emotional targets in…”

Colour context effects on speeded valence categorization of facial expressions by Sivananthan, Thaatsha, de Lissa, Peter, Curby, Kim M.

“…Colour often has emotional connotations, with red associated with negativity and green with positivity. Some suggest that these associations automatically…”

A bridge to progress further afield: The promise of a common framework on attentional capture by Most, Steven B., Curby, Kim M.

“…Although physical salience looms large in the attentional capture literature, stimuli can also capture attention via salience deriving from non-physical…”

Multiple paths to holistic processing: Holistic processing of Gestalt stimuli do not overlap with holistic face processing in the same manner as do objects of expertise by Curby, Kim M., Huang, Mengjie, Moerel, Denise

“…Holistic processing is often considered to be limited to faces and non-face objects of expertise, with previous studies revealing a specific mechanistic…”

Framing faces: Frame alignment impacts holistic face perception by Curby, Kim M., Entenman, Robert

“…Traditional accounts of face perception emphasise the importance of the prototypical configuration of features within faces. However, here we probe influences…”

The cost of facing fear: Visual working memory is impaired for faces expressing fear by Curby, Kim M., Smith, Stephen D., Moerel, Denise, Dyson, Amy
