Distractor devaluation effect mediated by internal attentional selection
No full textWe replicate our previous study (Ichimura & Ariga, 2020) to demonstrate the robustness of the distractor devaluation effect in response to internal attentional selection
Experiments 2 and 3: Glass edge potentiates "thick/thin" flavor of beverage
No full textWe conduct subsequent experiments following our previous study (Ichimura, Motoki, Matsushita, & Ariga, 2020, https://osf.io/568zu)
Glass edge potentiates “thick/thin” flavor of beverage: Experiment 5
No full textTo remove the alternative (weight-based) explanation for our conclusion in the previous study (Ichimura, Motoki, Matsushita, & Ariga, 2020, https://osf.io/568zu), we manipulate only the weight of the glasses of the same thick lips
Glass edge potentiates “thick/thin” tastes of beverage: Experiment 4
No full textWe replicate our previous study (Ichimura, Motoki, Matsushita, & Ariga, 2020, https://osf.io/568zu) with controlling the weight difference of the thick and thin glasses. To minimize any weight difference between the glasses, we attach metal washers to the bottom of each glass
Glass edge potentiates “thick/thin” flavor of beverage
No full textAlthough there is cumulative evidence that glass shape (i.e., visual information) influences flavors of beverages (e.g., Mirabito et al., 2017), there is no empirical research regarding whether glass edge (i.e., haptic information) affects them. We believe that the influence of haptic perception of glass edge is predominant in tasting beverages since we are mandatorily exposed to it during drinking. Thus, we will measure how participants perceive flavors of green tea by manipulating the thickness of glass edge under a circumstance where they are blind to visual information
A role for SUMO modification in transcriptional repression and activation
No full textSince the discovery of the SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) family of proteins just over a decade ago, a plethora of substrates have been uncovered including many regulators of transcription. Conjugation of SUMO to target proteins has generally been considered as a repressive modification. However, there are now a growing number of examples where SUMOylation has been shown to activate transcription. Here, we discuss whether there is something intrinsically repressive about SUMOylation, or if the outcome of this modification in the context of transcription will prove to be largely substrate-dependent. We highlight some of the technical challenges that will be faced by attempting to answer this question
