High perceptual load makes everybody equal: eliminating individual differences in distractibility with load [PDF]
, 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 ...

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.

Distracted by your mind? Individual differences in distractibility predict mind wandering [PDF]
, 2014 Attention may be distracted from its intended focus both by stimuli in the external environment and by internally generated task-unrelated thoughts during mind wandering.

Teasing apart retrieval and encoding interference in the processing of anaphors [PDF]
, 2015 Two classes of account have been proposed to explain the memory processes subserving the processing of reflexive-antecedent dependencies. Structure-based accounts assume that the retrieval of the antecedent is guided by syntactic tree-configurational ...

Sudden and gradual presentation of distractor objects: differential interference effects
Experimental Brain Research, 1999 In solving the selection-for-action problem, it is believed that attentional mechanisms enable dominance of target over non-target objects. However, under some conditions, information from non-target objects "interferes" with the action to a relevant target.

When awareness gets in the way : reactivation aversion effects resolve the generality/specificity paradox in sensorimotor interference tasks [PDF]
, 2020 Interference tasks combining different distractor types usually find that between-trial adaptations (congruency sequence effects [CSEs]) do not interact with each other, suggesting that sensorimotor control is domain-specific. However, within each trial,

PLoS ONE, 2020 Word-production theories argue that during language production, a concept activates multiple lexical candidates in left temporal cortex, and the intended word is selected from this set.

Attentional capture by entirely irrelevant distractors [PDF]
, 2008 Studies of attentional capture often question whether an irrelevant distractor will capture attention or be successfully ignored (e.g., Folk & Remington, 1998).

Ignoring famous faces: Category-specific dilution of distractor interference [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 2003 The extent to which famous distractor faces can be ignored was assessed in six experiments. Subjects categorized famous printed target names as those of pop stars or politicians, while attempting to ignore a flanking famous face distractor that could be congruent (e.g, a politician's name and face) or incongruent (e.g., a politician's name with a pop ...
