Is a knife the same as a plunger? Comparing the attentional effects of weapons and non-threatening unusual objects in dynamic scenes - Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications

Observers’ memory for a person’s appearance can be compromised by the presence of a weapon, a phenomenon known as the weapon-focus effect (WFE). According to the unusual-item hypothesis, attention shi...

Say you find a condition in which people tend to fixate on a stimulus for longer than average. Does this mean that they are attending to or processing this stimulus more? It turns out, not necessarily, since mind-wandering results in similar effects! Happy to be a part of this fun new paper:

Awesome work from the IMC lab! Spearheaded by Kristina Krasich and @kevingoneill.bsky.social, with the direction of @anuthmann.bsky.social , and w/ S Murray and J Brockmole: "A computational modeling approach to investigating mind wandering-related adjustments to gaze behavior during scene viewing".
