Search for familiar and dangerous: not seeing gopnik in the crowd
Subcultures frequently tend to have some distinct fashion style, which eventually becomes their “trademark” and drifts to the common knowledge of one culture or another. However, to what extent can these characteristics of certain groups be intervened with vast cultural heritage? We examined the influence of specific features of “gopnik” fashion on visual search performance. We conducted two experiments to investigate familiarity and threatening effects of these objects in visual search. Overall, our results demonstrate visual search asymmetry for man-like and gopnik-like objects, which could not be explained by basic features differences of these stimuli. We suggest that nowadays in Russia gopniks are represented as familiar group, rather than dangerous.

Background.
Knowledge about how to interact with an object can influence the speed of its identification and categorization. This phenomenon is known as the compatibility effect (CE). Despite extensive research, views on the underlying mechanisms of CE remain inconsistent. A key research question concerns the specific object features that can activate a motor programme, as well ...

The notion of “political accommodation” applied to the theory and practice of managing cultural diversity could enrich the Russian academic dictionary. Liberal democratic states invented specific mechanisms for political accommodation of cultural differences. Thanks to these mechanisms, the part of the population of a democratic state that is not ready to dissolve into the ethnocultural ...

Objective.
The study tested the assumption that heterogeneity (low degree of similarity) of visual context elements facilitates the search for a given target under conditions of implicit internalization of contextual configurations. A visual search task was used: subjects had to detect a target (a black Landolt ring with a right or left gap) among distractor configurations ...

Background. AI algorithms have rapidly entered everyday life in the last few years, which caused the appearance of a large number of both texts and images generated by neural networks. Nevertheless, the perception of artificially gener- ated images has not yet been studied. The relevance of the study is to observe the possibility of using artificially ...

Instant messaging is becoming highly important in modern daily life. This type of communication differs significantly from face-to-face communication: non-verbal signals typically used to understand the interlocutor’s emotions (facial expressions, gestures, etc.) are inaccessible to observation, and the non-verbal signals that replace them in text messages are intentional. At the same time, recognition of other’s ...

Grammatical error correction is one of the fundamental tasks in Natural Language Processing. For the Russian language, most of the spellcheckers available correct typos and other simple errors with high accuracy, but often fail when faced with non-native (L2) writing, since the latter contains errors that are not typical for native speakers. In this paper, ...

Multiple studies show that reading in hard-to-read (dysfluent) fonts can enhance memory and comprehension of learnt material, but it is unclear if this effect extends to second language (L2) learning. This study investigated the impact of dysfluent fonts on L2 text memorisation and comprehension, accounting for learners’ individual differences (gender, L2 anxiety, L2 proficiency and L1 vocabulary size) ...

The Leaky Competing Accumulator model (LCA) of Usher and McClelland is able to imitate the time course of perceptual decision making between an arbitrary number of stimuli. Reaction times, such as saccadic latencies, produce a typical distribution that is skewed toward longer latencies and accumulator models have shown excellent fit to these distributions. We propose ...

We move our eyes roughly three times every second while searching complex scenes, but covert attention helps to guide where we allocate those overt fixations. Covert attention may be allocated reflexively or voluntarily, and speeds the rate of information processing at the attended location. Reducing access to covert attention hinders performance, but it is not ...

An extensive amount of research indicates that repeating target and distractor features facilitates pop-out search while switching these features slows the search. Following the seminal study by Maljkovic and Nakayama (1994), this “priming of pop-out” effect (PoP) has been widely described as an automatic bottom-up process that is independent of the observers’ expectations. At the ...

During difficult foraging tasks, humans rarely switch between target categories, but switch frequently during easier foraging. Does this reflect fundamental limits on visual working memory (VWM) capacity or simply strategic choice due to effort? Our participants performed time-limited or unlimited foraging tasks where they tapped stimuli from 2 target categories while avoiding items from 2 ...

Visual search tasks play a key role in theories of visual attention. But single-target search tasks may provide only a snapshot of attentional orienting. Foraging tasks with multiple targets of different types arguably provide a closer analogy to everyday attentional processing. Set-size effects have in the literature formed the basis for inferring how attention operates ...
