Perceptual Load and Sex-Specific Personality Traits. [PDF]
Exp Psychol, 2021 The impact of sex-specific personality traits has often been investigated for visuospatial tasks such as mental rotation, but less is known about the influence of personality traits on visual search. We investigated whether the Big Five personality traits Extroversion (E), Openness (O), Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness (C), and Neuroticism (N) and ...

Irrelevant positive emotional information facilitates response inhibition only under a high perceptual load [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Response inhibition involves suppressing those responses that are no longer needed. Previous research has separately studied the role of attentional resources and emotional information in response inhibition.

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

Perceptual biases and positive schizotypy: The role of perceptual load [PDF]
Personality and Individual Differences, 2006 The study investigated the effects of perceptual load on the bias to report seeing non-existing events—a bias associated with positive symptoms of schizophrenia and positive schizotypal symptoms.

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 ...

Perceptual Load Affects Eyewitness Accuracy & Susceptibility to Leading Questions [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Load Theory (Lavie, 1995; 2005) states that the level of perceptual load in a task (i.e. the amount of information involved in processing task-relevant stimuli) determines the efficiency of selective attention.

The Effect and Time Course of Prediction and Perceptual Load on Category-Based Attentional Orienting Across Color and Shape Dimensions [PDF]
Brain SciencesObjectives: This study investigated the temporal dynamics of category-based attentional orienting (CAO) under the influences of prediction (top-down) and perceptual load (bottom-up) across color and shape dimensions, combining behavioral and event ...

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 ...

Dynamic modulation of the perceptual load on microsaccades during a selective spatial attention task [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Selective spatial attention enhances task performance at restricted regions within the visual field. The magnitude of this effect depends on the level of attentional load, which determines the efficiency of distractor rejection. Mechanisms of attentional

The Impact of Perceptual Load on the Non-Conscious Processing of Fearful Faces. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Emotional stimuli can be processed without consciousness. In the current study, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to assess whether perceptual load influences non-conscious processing of fearful facial expressions.
