Competition for consciousness among visual events : The psychophysics of reentrant visual processes

TL;DR: In this paper, two masking processes were found: an early process affected by physical factors such as adapting luminance, and a later process influenced by attentional factors, called masking by object substitution, which occurs whenever there is a mismatch between the reentrant visual representation and the ongoing lower level activity.

What’s new in visual masking?

TL;DR: A new theory of visual masking, inspired by developments in neuroscience, can account for several recently described backward masking effects, including masking by four small dots that surround (but do not touch) a target object and masks by a surrounding object that remains on display after the target object has been turned off.

Temporal integration in visual memory.

TL;DR: An inverse relationship between duration of inducing stimulus and duration of sensory persistence is suggested and allows the inference that visual persistence may be identified more fittingly with ongoing neural processes than with the decaying contents of an iconic store.

Processing of sequentially presented letters

TL;DR: The authors found that the processing time (onset to onset) predicted the number of letters correctly reported, regardless of the partition between on-time and off-time, and that this correlation is probably in part artifactual, so that no claim can be made that it takes longer to process a long as compared to a short word.
