The role of memory and restricted context in repeated visual search [PDF]
, 2008 Previous studies have shown that the efficiency of visual search does not improve when participants search through the same unchanging display for hundreds of trials (repeated search), even though the participants have a clear memory of the search ...

Entropy, 2022 Some theories propose that human cumulative culture is dependent on explicit, system-2, metacognitive processes. To test this, we investigated whether access to working memory is required for cumulative cultural evolution. We restricted access to adults’

Is countershading camouflage robust to lighting change due to weather? [PDF]
, 2018 Countershading is a pattern of coloration thought to have evolved in order to implement camouflage. By adopting a pattern of coloration that makes the surface facing towards the sun darker and the surface facing away from the sun lighter, the overall ...

Target familiarity and visual working memory do not influence familiarity effect in visual search
Scientific Reports, 2021 Familiarity effect refers to the phenomenon that searching for a novel target among familiar distractors is more efficient than that searching for a familiar target among novel distractors. While the familiarity of distractors is considered as a key role

An item/order tradeoff explanation of word length and generation effects [PDF]
, 2005 [Abstract]: The item-order hypothesis suggests that under certain conditions increased item processing can lead to deficits in order processing, and that this produces a dissociation in performance between item and order tasks.

On the relationship between cognitive load and the efficiency of distractor rejection in visual search: The case of motion-form conjunctions [PDF]
Visual Cognition, 2021 Search for a target defined by a conjunction of movement and shape (a moving X amongst moving O and static Xs) is performed efficiently, with static distractors contributing little to observed RT. How search may be restricted to the moving items, whilst static items are ignored is not fully understood.

Age Differences in the Efficiency of Filtering and Ignoring Distraction in Visual Working Memory
Brain Sciences, 2020 Healthy aging is associated with decline in the ability to maintain visual information in working memory (WM). We examined whether this decline can be explained by decreases in the ability to filter distraction during encoding or to ignore distraction ...
