Distractor Efficiency in an Item Pool for a Statistics Classroom Exam: Assessing Its Relation With Item Cognitive Level Classified According to Bloom's Taxonomy. [PDF]
Multiple-choice items are one of the most commonly used tools for evaluating students' knowledge and skills. A key aspect of this type of assessment is the presence of functioning distractors, i.e., incorrect alternatives intended to be plausible for students with lower achievement.

Distractor familiarity leads to more efficient visual search for complex stimuli [PDF]
Previous reports suggest that distractor familiarity plays an important role in determining visual search efficiency. However, the specific tasks used in those studies limit the extension of their findings to real-world situations and everyday images.

When are abrupt onsets found efficiently in complex visual search? : evidence from multi-element asynchronous dynamic search [PDF]
Previous work has found that search principles derived from simple visual search tasks do not necessarily apply to more complex search tasks. Using a Multielement Asynchronous Dynamic (MAD) visual search task, in which high numbers of stimuli could ...

Visual Working Memory Capacity Can Be Increased by Training on Distractor Filtering Efficiency [PDF]
It is generally considered that working memory (WM) capacity is limited and that WM capacity affects cognitive processes. Distractor filtering efficiency has been suggested to be an important factor in determining the visual working memory (VWM) capacity of individuals.
