The effect of sudden-onset distractors on reading efficiency and comprehension

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2022
Reading is an essential skill that requires focused attention. However, much reading is done in non-optimal environments. These days, reading is often done on digital devices or with a digital device nearby. These devices often introduce momentary distractions during reading, interrupting with alerts, notifications, and pop-ups.

On the Efficiency of Visual Selective Attention: Efficient Visual Search Leads to Inefficient Distractor Rejection

Psychological Science, 1997
The ability to ignore irrelevant peripheral distractors was assessed as a function of the efficiency in visual search for a target at the center of a display Efficient target search, among dissimilar nontargets, led to greater distraction than inefficient search, among similar nontargets This seemingly paradoxical result is predicted by the recent ...

Acting and anticipating: Impact of outcome-compatible distractor depends on response selection efficiency.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2016
Action selection is thought to involve selection of the action's sensory outcomes. This notion is supported when encountering a distractor that resembles a learned response-outcome biases response selection. Some evidence, however, suggests that a larger contribution of stimulus-based response selection leaves little role for outcome-based selection ...

More efficient visual search for happy faces may not indicate guidance, but rather faster distractor rejection: Evidence from eye movements and fixations.

Emotion, 2020
The visual search paradigm has been used in emotion research to examine the relation between facial expressions of emotion and attention. Here, the better performance in a search for one facial expression category (e.g., a happy face) compared to a second category (e.g., an angry face) has been often interpreted as indicating better guidance of ...

Content-Based Observation of Informative Distractors and Efficiency of Ability Estimation

1990
Abstract : The paper summarizes the shortages of the conventional way of handling the multiple-choice test and also describes theories and methodologies that can be applied for a better handling of the multiple-choice test item; some empirical facts are introduced to support the theoretical observations; finally new strategies of item writing are ...
