T9 in a Different Time
Past research has shown reduced driving decrement when T9 (assisted text entry) was used, as compared to multi-tap (unassisted text entry) conditions. Yet, the results of this study contradict those past; T9 appears to provide no significant benefit to texting while driving. This finding could point to a population shift – T9 is no longer widely used, so its benefits are not seen. Further research should be conducted with other forms of text entry or other predictive texting programs, such as iTap, Swype, and Siri.

Contribution of Physiological Limitations of Vision to Change Blindness
Change Blindness is the failure to detect a change made to a scene or object between views. It is often considered to be caused by a lack of attention. However, could the physiological limitations of vision also contribute to this phenomenon? This study had participants look for differences between two images while recording their eye movements with an eye tracker. We found that when participants were given more time to search for changes, they found significantly more changes. However, the number of changes found only increased for changes which the participants looked at directly. This suggests that there is a physiological as well as an attentional contribution to change blindness.

Can Neatness of Dress affect Perceived Personality?
Dress for Success.” Most of us have heard the saying. However, it isn’t just the type of clothing you wear that matters — it also matters how you wear it. In this study, participants rated portraits of neatly and messily dressed individuals. Individuals wore the same clothing in both the neat and messy portraits, and and gestures and smiling were standardized in all portraits. We found that neat portraits were rated as significantly more organized and intelligent and less extroverted. This may mean that job interviewers and teachers might favor applicants and students with neater dress. So next time you want to impress someone, keep in mind the neatness of your dress.
