that consider the contributions of top-down and bottom-up information on any aspect of perception and attention in celebration of Professor Mary A. Peterson’s career. For the past three decades, Dr. Peterson has been a leader in the study of how “top-down”
forms of information such as knowledge and intention can influence perception. For instance, Dr. Peterson has garnered strong evidence to support the ideas that an observer’s perceptual intentions to perceive one interpretation of an ambiguous display can
influence visual perception per se, and not just response; that preexisting representations of shape and meaning stored in an individual’s memory can influence fundamental aspects of perceptual organization that segregate the visual world into objects (figures)
and backgrounds; that competition is a mechanism of figure/object detection; and that, due to a previously unconsidered background prior, many of the original Gestalt displays intended to isolate a single image-based figural prior are ambiguous. Dr. Peterson
has also contributed to clarifying the relationship between attention and figure-ground perception and has demonstrated that recurrent processing plays a critical role in perceptual organization even when putatively high-level factors are absent. By combining
evidence obtained from behavioral, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological approaches, Dr. Peterson’s research program stands as a model for contemporary, theory-driven approaches to cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience. Research articles that address
these and other related topics would be welcomed.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics</span></i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> is an official journal of the Psychonomic Society. It spans all areas of research in sensory processes, perception,
attention, and psychophysics. Most articles published are reports of experimental work; the journal also presents theoretical, integrative, and evaluative reviews. Founded in 1966 as <i>Perception & Psychophysics</i>, the journal assumed its present name in
2009. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-3D00125ZVaBTi91Ley011lLa5Kn6KyX5-5Fgd86hPqo-5FL2Pj2zHawDaXvyUVtw1-5FKZOGcriONzYR34rjNHvHkdV4UkF8mnaej-5FQXDE8HZhOpjBt3fwoOwt2tpiocnAraEJkb2j0DVpG04jpRi91DLBtewVKlA-3D-3D-26c-3Dp-2Dwv1j5qPp74DDfxhUEweum-2DlhEESGv2IPB32iFbKqgSDaQPqKFA0Q-3D-3D-26ch-3Dfh80bSmuGF7KGAP0K2E7-5FjvpvnPJcYJ6R6lqktI5Xz5DQlE-2DDXnBGA-3D-3D&d=DwMFaQ&c=Y1PaM6XenKb8cL-0fIR_eA6jW59yhBQ9XuPR10gwe-8&r=dZQO0o3lwmr00ThMbinZPjho120OL4_WOsX5-pFz-wE&m=lSWqRRHJwvE-UIMBBRwdbuJgI1o8j0wFHWZTaIqpXPVskFzUdkVGBajwZ8cupfXC&s=cML7KnILov8z3aoqXQbb4nWiCDkEaIYBsrZXBLEri7A&e=" target="_blank"><i><span style="text-decoration:none">Attention,
