Abstract: Understanding the how the cognitive system processes information in real time is one of the key concerns for researchers in experimental psychology and cognitive science. Several measures and software tools have been proposed to explore different aspects of cognitive processing phenomena. One of these methods, mouse-tracking, helps researches to trace the participants’ hand movements during cognitive tasks which may be a reflection of their mental processes. Mouse-tracking method allows researchers to collect data about the dynamic unfolding of motor responses, and thus, provides additional insights about the process through which outcome-based measures such as reaction times or error rates are observed. Although the mental processes are treated as having discrete labels in traditional cognitive science, the new perspective indicates continuous processing of mind trajectories. Continuous and probabilistic representation of mental phenomena points out the continuous trajectory of the mind which travels through the set of possible brain states. Mouse Tracker’s real-time response data may shed light on continuous perspective of mind trajectories and temporal dynamics of cognitive processes. From this point of view the Simon Task which known as “stimulus-response compatibility effect” will be implemented with Mouse Tracker software. The collected multiple response alternatives will be analyzed in the light of continuous processing phenomena in an effort to shed further light into how the temporal dynamics of cognitive and motor processes contribute to the Simon effect.

Abstract: Information about multisensory perception and brain cognition mechanism lead to a better virtual world creation. Brain store visual and auditory information to use in predicting future events. Image memory takes information from visual clues which during speech recognition happens by recording visual information and its auditory mappings. Based on this process, brain create prediction mechanism for future events. In speech recognition brain record sound and its visual presentation. When brain encounter difficulty in perception an auditory stimuli, it looks for visual mappings to guess the result. Considering the fact that some completely unrelated similarity may exist, some mapping may not lead to better understanding the world around. When previous information mislead the brain to understand the situation cognitive biases happen. McGurk Effect discusses how different lip movements affect auditory perception to get disparate information. Variety of factors influence amount of dependency on visual clues. Tracking speaking, especially in challenging environments, can be increased by visual clues such as face expressions, tongue and lips movements. Considering these elements in virtual world and game designing lead to improving believability. Perception processes, brain nature, designing factors, graphical elements, and visual structures are discussed to find out improved ways in designing realistic auditory and visual components.
