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]
Front Psychol, 2018 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]
Perception & Psychophysics, 2005 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.

Visual Working Memory Capacity Can Be Increased by Training on Distractor Filtering Efficiency [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 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.

When are abrupt onsets found efficiently in complex visual search? : evidence from multi-element asynchronous dynamic search [PDF]
, 1990 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 ...

Vision Research, 2014 We trained one group of pigeons to search for members of an artificial category among category-unspecified nonmembers. For another group of pigeons, the roles of the targets and of the distractors were reversed. Experiment 1 found that the latter group showed surprisingly efficient search for multiple nonmembers.

When is search for a static target among dynamic distractors efficient? [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006 Intuitively, dynamic visual stimuli, such as moving objects or flashing lights, attract attention. Visual search tasks have revealed that dynamic targets among static distractors can indeed efficiently guide attention. The present study shows that the reverse case, a static target among dynamic distractors, allows for relatively efficient selection in ...
