Summary
This document is a correction notice published in *Psychological Research* (2019) regarding an article originally published in 2018 titled "Gestalt grouping cues can improve filtering performance in visual working memory" by Ayala S. Allon, Gili Vixman, and Roy Luria. The authors, affiliated with Tel Aviv University, issued this correction to address a specific error in the original publication: the incorrect presentation of Figure 2. The correction provides the accurate version of Figure 2, which consists of two panels. Panel A illustrates the experimental stimuli used in Experiment 2. It depicts two types of trials: "targets only" trials and "filtering" trials. In these trials, participants were instructed to remember the colors of specific circles (targets) while ignoring other circles that contained a triangle opening (distractors). The figure demonstrates three conditions for the distractors: they either formed a Kanizsa triangle (grouping by illusory object), appeared in a triangular configuration (grouping by proximity), or appeared in random positions (no grouping). Panel B of the corrected Figure 2 presents the results from Experiment 2, specifically showing accuracy as a function of Condition. The graph includes error bars that represent 95% confidence intervals, calculated according to the method described by Loftus and Masson (1994). This correction ensures that readers have access to the accurate visual data supporting the study’s findings on how Gestalt grouping cues affect filtering performance in visual working memory. The significance of this correction lies in maintaining the integrity of the scientific record. By replacing the incorrect figure with the accurate one, the authors ensure that the visual evidence aligns with the reported experimental design and results. This allows researchers and readers to correctly interpret the impact of grouping cues (illusory object, proximity, and no grouping) on participants' ability to filter distractors and retain target information in visual working memory tasks. The correction does not alter the study’s conclusions or methodology but rectifies a presentation error that could have led to misinterpretation of the data.
