The role of perceptual load in object recognition [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009 Predictions from perceptual load theory (Lavie, 1995, 2005) regarding object recognition across the same or different viewpoints were tested. Results showed that high perceptual load reduces distracterrecognition levels despite always presenting ...

Conceptual and Methodological Concerns in the Theory of Perceptual Load [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 The present paper provides a short critical review of the theory of perceptual load. It closely examines the basic tenets and assumptions of the theory and identifies major conceptual and methodological problems that have been largely ignored in the ...

Event related potentials reveal that increasing perceptual load leads to increased responses for target stimuli and decreased responses for irrelevant stimuli [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2008 Lavie and colleagues (1995, JEP:HPP 9: 497-) have suggested that perceptual processing is influenced by perceptual load. Specifically, relevant information receives additional processing in high load situations exhausting the available capacity.

Evaluative pressure overcomes perceptual load effects
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2015 International audiencePerceptual load has been found to be a powerful bottom-up determinant of distractibility, with high perceptual load preventing distraction by any irrelevant information. However, when under evaluative pressure, individuals exert top-

Enhancement and Suppression in the Visual Field under Perceptual Load [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 The perceptual load theory of attention proposes that the degree to which visual distractors are processed is a function of the attentional demands of a task – greater demands increase filtering of irrelevant distractors.

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 ...

Attentional capture under high perceptual load [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2010 Attentional capture by abrupt onsets can be modulated by several factors, including the complexity, or perceptual load, of a scene. We have recently demonstrated that observers are less likely to be captured by abruptly appearing, task-irrelevant stimuli when they perform a search that is high, as opposed to low, in perceptual load (Cosman & Vecera ...

Plugging the Attention Deficit: Perceptual Load Counters Increased Distraction in ADHD. [PDF]
, 2013 Objective: Increased vulnerability to extraneous distraction is a key symptom of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which may have particularly disruptive consequences.

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.
