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.

Degraded stimulus visibility and the effects of perceptual load on distractor interference [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 In this study we examined whether effects of perceptual load on the attentional selectivity are modulated by degradation of the visual input. According to the perceptual load theory, increasing task difficulty via degradation of stimulus visibility ...

Distractor suppression leads to reduced flanker interference [PDF]
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2021 Recent studies using the additional singleton paradigm have shown that regularities in distractor locations can cause biases in the spatial priority map, such that attentional capture by salient singletons is reduced for locations that are likely to ...

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).

Low level perceptual, not attentional, processes modulate distractor interference in high perceptual Load displays: evidence from neglect/extinction [PDF]
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 ...

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.

Reduced distractor interference during vagus nerve stimulation
International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2018 Suppressing irrelevant information in decision making is an essential everyday skill. We studied whether this ability could be improved in epileptic patients during vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). VNS is known to increase norepinephrine (NE) in the brain.

i-Perception, 2012 A salient item usually captures our attention in visual search. When a distractor is salient, it should help observers to find a target that was overlapping it. However, in Jingling and Tseng (in press Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception
