The Impact of Visual Working Memory Capacity on the Filtering Efficiency of Emotional Face Distractors [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Psychology, 2018
Emotional faces can serve as distractors for visual working memory (VWM) tasks. An event-related potential called contralateral delay activity (CDA) can measure the filtering efficiency of face distractors. Previous studies have investigated the influence of VWM capacity on filtering efficiency of simple neutral distractors but not of face distractors.

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.

More Efficient Rejection of Happy Than of Angry Face Distractors in Visual Search [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin and Review, 2006
In the present study, we examined whether the detection advantage for negative-face targets in crowds of positive-face distractors over positive-face targets in crowds of negative faces can be explained by differentially efficient distractor rejection.

On the Decay of Distractor-Response Episodes

open access: yesExperimental Psychology, 2011
Distractor-to-distractor repetition effects can be explained by retrieval and/or inhibitory processes. Interestingly, the two accounts predict different effects from repeated distractors: Inhibition theories always predict benefits, whereas stimulus ...

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 ...

Distractors in Parsons Problems Decrease Learning Efficiency for Young Novice Programmers [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research, 2016
Parsons problems are an increasingly popular method for helping inexperienced programmers improve their programming skills. In Parsons problems, learners are given a set of programming statements that they must assemble into the correct order. Parsons problems commonly use distractors, extra statements that are not part of the solution.
