Welcome to the University of Nevada, Reno Department of Psychology. The department is dedicated to excellence in teaching and research, as well as providing service to the community.
Providing high quality education is central to the psychology department's mission. The faculty are committed to research that makes a difference on a variety of levels. This research would not be possible without the support of its greatest asset - the students. Graduate and undergraduate students are an integral part of all of the work perform on campus. It is critical to the mission to continue to create a learning environment that supports the creative scientific inquiry of psychology students.

Relating is an Operant: A Fly Over of 35 Years of RFT Research
(Perspectivas em Análise do Comportamento, 2021-04)Relational Frame Theory (RFT) is the simplest form of operant theory since it claims nothing more than a particular type of behavior, arbitrarily applicable derived relational responding, is an operant. While the theory ... -

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Head Motion: Toward Normative Data of Head Stabilization
(2019)Head stabilization is fundamental for balance during locomotion but can be impaired in elderly or diseased populations. Previous studies have identified several parameters of head stability with possible diagnostic value ... -

Dynamics of contrast adaptation in central and peripheral vision
(2019)Adaptation aftereffects are generally stronger for peripheral than for foveal viewing. We examined whether there are also differences in the dynamics of visual adaptation in central and peripheral vision. We tracked the ... -

A neural basis of the serial bottleneck in visual word recognition
(2019)Written language is a hallmark of cultural and technological development. The ability to read written language is a testament to the effects of learning on human behavior and brain function. However, even highly practiced ... -

Disequilibrium in behavior analysis: A disequilibrium theory redux
(2019)Disequilibrium theory is an approach to reinforcement that reconsiders the putative response strengthening prowess of stimuli. This disequilibrium approach-the pinnacle of the response deprivation hypothesis-reliably ... -

Color vision: introduction by the feature editors
(2016)This feature issue of the Journal of the Optical Society of America A (JOSA A) reflects the basic and applied research interests of members of the color vision community. Most of the articles stem from presentations at the ... -

Atypical Asymmetry for Processing Human and Robot Faces in Autism Revealed by fNIRS
(2016)Deficits in the visual processing of faces in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) individuals may be due to atypical brain organization and function. Studies assessing asymmetric brain function in ASD individuals have suggested ... -

The motion-induced contour revisited: Observations on 3-D structure and illusory contour formation in moving stimuli
(2019)The motion-induced contour (MIC) was first described by Victor Klymenko and Naomi Weisstein in a series of papers in the 1980s. The effect is created by rotating the outline of a tilted cube in depth. When one of the ... -

Early Blindness Results in Developmental Plasticity for Auditory Motion Processing within Auditory and Occipital Cortex
(2016)Early blind subjects exhibit superior abilities for processing auditory motion, which are accompanied by enhanced BOLD responses to auditory motion within hMT+ and reduced responses within right planum temporale (rPT). ... -

From Flashes to Edges to Objects: Recovery of Local Edge Fragments Initiates Spatiotemporal Boundary Formation
(2016)Spatiotemporal boundary formation (SBF) is the perception of illusory boundaries, global form, and global motion from spatially and temporally sparse transformations of texture elements (Shipley and Kellman, 1 993a, 1994 -

Vestibulo-Ocular Responses and Dynamic Visual Acuity During Horizontal Rotation and Translation
(2019)Dynamic visual acuity (DVA) provides an overall functional measure of visual stabilization performance that depends on the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), but also on other processes, including catch-up saccades and likely ... -

Embedded word priming elicits enhanced fMRI responses in the visual word form area
(2019)Lexical embedding is common in all languages and elicits mutual orthographic interference between an embedded word and its carrier. The neural basis of such interference remains unknown. We employed a novel fMRI prime-target ... -

Induced and Evoked Human Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Working Memory Set-Size Effects at Encoding
(2016)The ability to encode, store, and retrieve visually presented objects is referred to as visual working memory (VWM). Although crucial for many cognitive processes, previous research reveals that VWM strictly capacity ... -

The contribution of color information to rapid face categorization in natural scenes
(2019)Color's contribution to rapid categorization of natural images is debated. We examine its effect on high-level face categorization responses using fast periodic visual stimulation (Rossion et al., 2015). A high-density ... -

Extracting transition rates from zero-polarizability spectroscopy
(Physical Review A, 2015)We predict a sequence of magic-zero wavelengths for the Sr excited 5s5p P-3(0) state, and provide a general roadmap for extracting transition matrix elements using precise frequency measurements. We demonstrate that such ... -

Preserved Haptic Shape Processing after Bilateral LOC Lesions
(Journal of Neuroscience, 2015)The visual and haptic perceptual systems are understood to share a common neural representation of object shape. A region thought to be critical for recognizing visual and haptic shape information is the lateral occipital ... -

Extrastriate Visual Areas Integrate Form Features over Space and Time to Construct Representations of Stationary and Rigidly Rotating Objects
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2015)When an object moves behind a bush, for example, its visible fragments are revealed at different times and locations across the visual field. Nonetheless, a whole moving object is perceived. Unlike traditional modal and ... -

Visual adaptation and the amplitude spectra of radiological images
(2018)We examined how visual sensitivity and perception are affected by adaptation to the characteristic amplitude spectra of X-ray mammography images. Because of the transmissive nature of X-ray photons, these images have ...
