Summary: The study analyzed how response time in decision making managed by Systems 1 and 2 is associated with the perceptual-cognitive processes of young soccer players. Participants were divided into faster and slower decision-makers based on their response time. Results showed that faster decision-makers employed more fixations of shorter duration, displayed less cognitive effort, and had more thought processes associated with planning, reinforcing differences in the use of perceptual-cognitive processes in decision-making and the efficiency of System 1 in faster decision-making.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in visual search behavior between experts and novices in team sports athletes. The analysis of 22 studies found that the distinction between experts and novices was not clear in the variables analyzed, possibly due to the different strategies chosen in each study. This indicates the need for more research in this field to address this issue.

Summary: Studies have shown that reacting to defenders' behavior during penalty corners can improve success rates, yet such defense-dependent strategies are rarely used. Gaze behavior and decision making differ between different offensive strategies, with gaze direction playing a crucial role in adapting to defensive tactics. Adaptive decision making, such as choosing variations immediately after the ball is injected, shows promise but requires further training to enhance success rates in penalty corners.

Summary: Visual factors, such as central positioning of information, larger surface size, decreased set size of competing elements, and increased visual salience, play a significant role in determining attention compared to cognitive factors like preference, task instructions, and ultimately chosen options. Understanding real-world decision making requires an integration of both visual and cognitive factors in future theories of attention and decision making.

Summary: Expert athletes show a determination to make faster and better decisions. In this study, male athletes with different expertise levels were examined to understand how decision time and confidence depend on the type of embodied choices they make. The results suggest that elite players make better choices but at a slower pace, indicating a focus on accuracy rather than speed. These findings contribute to the understanding of decision-making in expert athletes and provide insights for future experiments.

Summary: Memory plays a significant role in judgment and decision making (JDM), influencing eye movements and attention allocation. Different sources of activation, such as memory-driven attention and salient visual stimuli, guide looking-at-nothing behavior in JDM. Explicit instructions to imagine retrieval-relevant information during categorizations can increase looking-at-nothing without affecting the decision-making process.

Summary: Understanding consumer behavior is crucial for product success, and virtual reality head-mounted displays with eye-tracking offer new opportunities to study user behavior. However, research on gaze patterns during virtual product evaluations is limited. This experiment investigated users' gaze behavior when evaluating virtual prototypes of a bedside table. Eye-tracking metrics were analyzed, statistical tests were conducted, and a Long Short-Term Memory model was created to predict decisions based on attentional patterns. The results showed a replicated Gaze Cascade Model and a correlation between product liking and eye-tracking metrics, suggesting that eye-tracking can be an effective tool for decision-making prediction during product assessment in virtual environments.

Summary: Symmetry generally reduces complexity of stimuli, but can affect the aesthetic pleasure and interest of scenes. This study investigated both local and global symmetry in subjective judgments of natural scenes. The findings revealed that local symmetry and vertical global symmetry were negatively related to complexity, aesthetic pleasure, and interest, while local symmetry and horizontal global symmetry were positively related to pleasure and interest.

Summary: Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, people were asked to submit an ugly and beautiful photograph taken from within their homes. The results showed a preference for natural beauty and revealed connections between beauty and ugliness and various visual elements such as views, mess, portraits, and emotions. Photography strategies, such as editing and color, played a significant role in creating beautiful photographs, while a lack of effort and sharpness were more prominent in ugly photographs. The study also confirmed the consistency of aesthetic judgments among viewers.

Summary: This study aimed to better understand the visual sensitivity and responsivity in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at self-reported, behavioral, and neural levels, and to explore their relationships. The results showed that autistic participants had higher scores of sensory sensitivity and responsivity at the self-reported level and exhibited different sensitivity thresholds at the behavioral level. However, there were no group differences in neural assessment of detection thresholds. These findings suggest that sensitivity and responsivity in ASD are not simply increased but may be influenced by other factors such as environmental predictability. Multi-level approaches can provide insights into the mechanisms underlying sensory issues in ASD.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing awareness of the influence of different modalities on taste perception. However, there is still ambiguity surrounding crossmodal correspondences between taste and specific textures such as crispy or crunchy. This study aimed to investigate the associations between texture words and taste words using an online questionnaire and a taste experiment. The results showed consistent associations between soft and sweet, and between crispy and salty, both at the conceptual and perceptual levels.

Summary: Earlier research found that perceived differences between stimuli in the same category are smaller than differences between stimuli in different categories, even when the physical dissimilarity is the same. This can be explained by the existence of reference points, which serve as points of comparison. The strength of these reference points influences categorization and discrimination performance.

Summary: This article highlights the limitations in previous research on the separate influence of order and complexity on aesthetic appreciation and the lack of control in stimulus manipulations when studying them in combination. It introduces the Order & Complexity Toolbox for Aesthetics (OCTA), a Python toolbox that allows researchers to create multi-element displays varying in both qualitative and quantitative aspects of order and complexity. OCTA facilitates reproducible stimulus construction and experimental design in order, complexity, and aesthetics research, and it can also be utilized in various types of research using visual stimuli or even for digital art creation.
