The effects of acute stress and perceptual load on distractor interference

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2012
Selective attention can be improved under conditions in which a high perceptual load is assumed to exhaust cognitive resources, leaving scarce resources for distractor processing. The present study examined whether perceptual load and acute stress share common attentional resources by manipulating perceptual and stress loads.

Feature‐Based Statistical Learning Modulates Distractor Interference, Not Distractor Rarity

Psychophysiology
ABSTRACT Interference from distractors can be reduced when they appear with frequently occurring features, suggesting that statistical learning attenuates distractor interference. Previous research on spatial statistical learning has shown that reduced interference may reflect both suppression of high‐probability ...

Distractor interference in selective reaching

Journal of Human Movement Studies, 2006
This study examined the effects of visual distractors on reaching performance in 7, 9 and 13 year-old children. The task was to reach for a green target appearing either with or without a red distractor stimulus on a computer screen. Results showed that the presence of a distractor lengthened movement times in all age groups, but, importantly, this ...

Line Segments and Corners of Distractors are Equally Important in Causing Interference

Perception, 2009
In this series of studies we examine the importance of component features (line segments and corners) of a distractor in producing distractor interference. We postulated that corners are non-accidental features and therefore crucial components in the processing of distractors (Kritikos and Pavlis 2007, Experimental Brain Research183 159–170).

Priming the distractor can eliminate the Stroop interference effect

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
The Stroop interference effect-the slower response to color in an incongruent Stroop stimulus (e.g., ) relative to a neutral Stroop stimulus (e.g., ) is usually highly robust. The present study investigated the role of selective attention in the Stroop task by priming the distractor word.

Priming effects from phonologically related distractors in picture–word interference

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology A, 2001
In the cross-modal picture-word interference task, distractors phonologically related to a to-benamed picture facilitate the naming response as compared to unrelated distractors. Our experiment shows that this phonological priming effect can be obtained with as early an SOA as-300 ms.

Distractor Interference in Visual Motor Tasks

2014
Selectivity and coherence are necessary for effective action. We must be able to plan and execute actions selectively directed to relevant stimuli, while preventing the distractors affording a variety of actions from interfering with our movements.

The processing locus of interference from salient singleton distractors

Visual Cognition, 2008
Numerous studies have demonstrated that target processing is slowed in the presence of an irrelevant singleton element. One hypothesis is that these slowed responses are due to disruptions in the early sensory processing of the targets. We replicated this effect in a resource-limited procedure.

Selective Reaching to Grasp: Evidence for Distractor Interference Effects

Visual Cognition, 1997
Transport and grasp kinematics were examined in a task in which subjects selectively reached to grasp a target object in the presence of non-target objects. In a variety of experiments significant interference effects were observed in temporal parameters, such as movement time, and spatial parameters, such as path.
