Interference of Illusory Contour Perception by a Distractor [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 The visual system is capable of recognizing objects when object information is widely separated in space, as revealed by the Kanizsa-type illusory contours (ICs).

Perceptual load-dependent neural correlates of distractor interference inhibition.
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundThe load theory of selective attention hypothesizes that distractor interference is suppressed after perceptual processing (i.e., in the later stage of central processing) at low perceptual load of the central task, but in the early stage of ...

Effects of spatial location on distractor interference. [PDF]
J VisWhen target and distractor stimuli are close together, they activate the same neurons and there is ambiguity as to what the neural activity represents. It has been suggested that the ambiguity is resolved by spatial competition between target and nontarget stimuli.

Oculomotor interference of bimodal distractors
Vision Research, 2016 When executing an eye movement to a target location, the presence of an irrelevant distracting stimulus can influence the saccade metrics and latency. The present study investigated the influence of distractors of different sensory modalities (i.e. auditory, visual and audiovisual) which were presented at various distances (i.e. close or remote) from a

The role of prefrontal cortex in resolving distractor interference [PDF]
Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2004 We investigate the hypothesis that those subregions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) found to support proactive interference resolution may also support delay-spanning distractor interference resolution. Ten subjects performed delayed-recognition tasks requiring working memory for faces or shoes during functional MRI scanning.

Salience-based selection: attentional capture by distractors less salient than the target. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Current accounts of attentional capture predict the most salient stimulus to be invariably selected first. However, existing salience and visual search models assume noise in the map computation or selection process.

Neural basis of distractor resistance during visual working memory maintenance
NeuroImage, 2021 Visual working memory representations must be protected from the intervening irrelevant visual input. While it is well known that interference resistance is most challenging when distractors match the prioritised mnemonic information, its neural ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 According to perceptual load theory (Lavie, 2005) distractor interference is determined by the availability of attentional resources. If target processing does not exhaust resources (with low perceptual load) distractor processing will take place ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Research on memory retrieval during sentence comprehension suggests that similarity-based interference is mediated by the grammatical function of the distractor. For instance, Van Dyke and McElree (2011) observed interference during retrieval for subject-

Resetting of Auditory and Visual Segregation Occurs After Transient Stimuli of the Same Modality
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 In the presence of a continually changing sensory environment, maintaining stable but flexible awareness is paramount, and requires continual organization of information.
