Cuing Interacts with Perceptual Load in Visual Search
Psychological Science, 2002We tested the strong form of the perceptual-load hypothesis, which posits that the amount of perceptual load is the only factor determining whether attention can be effectively focused. Participants performed a visual search task under conditions of low and high load and with either a 100% valid spatial cue or no spatial cue. With no cue, participants

The role of perceptual load in inattentional blindness
Cognition, 2007Perceptual load theory offers a resolution to the long-standing early vs. late selection debate over whether task-irrelevant stimuli are perceived, suggesting that irrelevant perception depends upon the perceptual load of task-relevant processing. However, previous evidence for this theory has relied on RTs and neuroimaging.

Load theory behind the wheel; perceptual and cognitive load effects.
Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology / Revue canadienne de psychologie expérimentale, 2017Perceptual Load Theory has been proposed as a resolution to the longstanding early versus late selection debate in cognitive psychology. There is much evidence in support of Load Theory but very few applied studies, despite the potential for the model to shed light on everyday attention and distraction.

Asymmetrical perceptual load in lateralised word processing
European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2010We applied the Load Theory of attention (Lavie, 1995, 2005) to the case of distraction during processing of lateralised words presented in either the right or the left visual fields. Previous research (Brand-D'Abrescia & Lavie, 2007) showed that lexicality affects selective attention such that the number of letters in a search task only increases ...

Perceptual Load Induces Inattentional Blindness in Drivers
Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2016SummaryPerceptual load theory states that the level of perceptual load in a task predicts the processing of task‐irrelevant information. High perceptual load has been shown to result in increased inattentional blindness; however, there is little evidence that this extends beyond artificial computer‐based tasks to real‐world behavior.

Brain Research, 2006
The role of perceptual load in selective attention to multidimensional objects was investigated by independently manipulating the load along the task-relevant and the task-irrelevant dimensions in the central search array, which was flanked by congruent, incongruent, or neutral peripheral distractors. The relative bottom-up perceptual saliency of these

The role of perceptual load in visual awareness
Brain Research, 2006Does awareness depend on attention? This is a fundamental issue for understanding the relationship of attention and awareness, yet previous research provided mixed results. Here, I describe new research that shows that the effects of attention on awareness depend on the level of perceptual load in the attended task.

Perceptual load interacts with stimulus processing across sensory modalities
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2009AbstractAccording to perceptual load theory, processing of task‐irrelevant stimuli is limited by the perceptual load of a parallel attended task if both the task and the irrelevant stimuli are presented to the same sensory modality. However, it remains a matter of debate whether the same principles apply to cross‐sensory perceptual load and, more ...

Perceptual load influences selective attention across development.
Developmental Psychology, 2011Research suggests that visual selective attention develops across childhood. However, there is relatively little understanding of the neurological changes that accompany this development, particularly in the context of adult theories of selective attention, such as N. Lavie's (1995) perceptual load theory of attention.
