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.

Is Hand Selection Modulated by Cognitive-perceptual Load? [PDF]
Neuroscience, 2018 Previous studies proposed that selecting which hand to use for a reaching task appears to be modulated by a factor described as "task difficulty". However, what features of a task might contribute to greater or lesser "difficulty" in the context of hand selection decisions has yet to be determined.

Harnessing the wandering mind: The role of perceptual load [PDF]
Cognition, 2009 Perceptual load is a key determinant of distraction by task-irrelevant stimuli (e.g., Lavie, N. (2005). Distracted and confused?: Selective attention under load. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 9, 75–82).

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

Modality-Specific Effects of Perceptual Load in Multimedia Processing [PDF]
Media and Communication, 2019 Digital media are sensory-rich, multimodal, and often highly interactive. An extensive collection of theories and models within the field of media psychology assume the multimodal nature of media stimuli, yet there is current ambiguity as to the ...

Reduced social attention in autism is magnified by perceptual load in naturalistic environments. [PDF]
Autism Res, 2022 Individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) describe differences in both social cognition and sensory processing, but little is known about the causal relationship between these disparate functional domains.

The impact of multisensory integration and perceptual load in virtual reality settings on performance, workload and presence. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Real-world experience is typically multimodal. Evidence indicates that the facilitation in the detection of multisensory stimuli is modulated by the perceptual load, the amount of information involved in the processing of the stimuli.

Robust perceptual-load-dependent audiovisual integration in adult ADHD. [PDF]
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci, 2022 We perceive our daily-life surrounded by different senses (e.g., visual, and auditory). For a coherent percept, our brain binds those multiple streams of sensory stimulations, i.e., multisensory integration (MI).

Blinded by the load: attention, awareness and the role of perceptual load. [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 What is the relationship between attention and conscious awareness? Awareness sometimes appears to be restricted to the contents of focused attention, yet at other times irrelevant distractors will dominate awareness.
