More efficient rejection of happy than of angry face distractors in visual search [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic 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.

Template-to-distractor distinctiveness regulates visual search efficiency

open access: yesCurrent 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 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 reentry hypothesis: The putative interaction of the frontal eye field, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, and areas V4, IT for attention and eye movement [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Eye-tracking measurements of language processing: developmental differences in children at high risk for ASD [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
To explore how being at high risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), based on having an older sibling diagnosed with ASD, affects word comprehension and language processing speed, 18-, 24- and 36-month-old children, at high and low risk for ASD were ...

Previewing distractors reduces efficiency of visual processing at previewed locations

open access: yesVision 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.

Perceptual load vs. dilution: the roles of attentional focus, stimulus category, and target predictability

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The interaction of target-distractor similarity and visual search efficiency for basic features

open access: yesJournal of Vision, 2017
Visual search efficiency is commonly measured by the relationship between subject response time (RT) and display set size. Basic features are visual features for which a singleton target can be found efficiently (RT independent of set size), a situation commonly referred to as pop-out.

Item analysis and optimizing multiple-choice questions for a viable question bank in ophthalmology: A cross-sectional study

open access: yesIndian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021
Purpose: Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are useful in assessing student performance, covering a wide range of topics in an objective way. Its reliability and validity depend upon how well it is constructed. Defective Item detected by item analysis must
