Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 When participants rapidly switch between tasks that share the same stimuli and responses, task confusions (i.e., the accidental application of the wrong task) can occur. The present study investigated whether these task confusions result from failures of

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

Template-to-distractor distinctiveness regulates visual search efficiency
Current Opinion in Psychology, 2019 All models of attention include the concept of an attentional template (or a target or search template). The template is conceptualized as target information held in memory that is used for prioritizing sensory processing and determining if an object matches the target. It is frequently assumed that the template contains a veridical copy of the target.

The reentry hypothesis: The putative interaction of the frontal eye field, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, and areas V4, IT for attention and eye movement [PDF]
, 2005 Attention is known to play a key role in perception, including action selection, object recognition and memory. Despite findings revealing competitive interactions among cell populations, attention remains difficult to explain.

Previewing distractors reduces efficiency of visual processing at previewed locations
Vision Research, 2013 Visual marking refers to the phenomenon in which old items in a visual search are excluded from the search when new items appear in the visual field. Visual marking may result from inhibition of irrelevant information at the location of old items before new items appear.

Distracted by your mind? Individual differences in distractibility predict mind wandering [PDF]
, 2014 Attention may be distracted from its intended focus both by stimuli in the external environment and by internally generated task-unrelated thoughts during mind wandering.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Many studies have shown that increasing the number of neutral stimuli in a display decreases distractor interference. This result has been interpreted within two different frameworks; a perceptual load account, based on a reduction in spare resources ...

High perceptual load makes everybody equal: eliminating individual differences in distractibility with load [PDF]
, 2007 Perceptual load has been found to be a powerful determinant of distractibility in laboratory tasks. The present study assessed how the effects of perceptual load on distractibility in the laboratory relate to individual differences in the likelihood of ...

More efficient rejection of happy than of angry face distractors in visual search [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & 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.
