The impacts of perceptual load and driving duration on mind wandering in driving

Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 2017
A significant portion of the risk of driver distraction comes from the cognitive consequences of attention deviating from the current task. While distraction can be due to external stimulations such as flashing billboards or a ringing phone, simply ...

Perceptual load alters visual excitability.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Increasing perceptual load reduces the processing of visual stimuli outside the focus of attention, but the mechanism underlying these effects remains unclear. Here we tested an account attributing the effects of perceptual load to modulations of visual cortex excitability.

Tapping Regularity as a Measure of Perceptual Motor Load

Ergonomics, 1966
Numerous methods have been devised to measure perceptual load. Unfortunately the concept itself is ill-defined, which makes different approaches practically incomparable. The central problem is the ordering of tasks of different types. Most methods compare tasks that differ only in one variable, such as speed or input/output uncertainty.

Does high perceptual load assist in reducing the seductive details effect?

, 2019
Negative effects of seductive details have been well documented. One current line of research focussed on solutions to reducing the seductive details effect is becoming increasingly promising.

The Influence of Perceptual Load on Inhibition of Return

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
Inhibition of return (IOR) refers to a slower response to a target which appears at a previously attended location. We investigated whether perceptual load effects onset time of IOR in detection tasks. The results showed that the onset time of IOR was complex in different level of perceptual load. IOR effect was significant when perceptual load was low

Opening the Window: Size of the Attentional Window Dominates Perceptual Load and Familiarity in Visual Selection

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2018
Perceptual load theory (Lavie, 1995) claims that visual selection is determined both by the perceptual demands a display imposes and by the perceptual resources an observer has available for processing. This theory is often tested by examining distractor

Load theory behind the wheel; perceptual and cognitive load effects.

Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology / Revue canadienne de psychologie expérimentale, 2017
Perceptual 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.

The Measurement of Perceptual Load and Reserve Capacity

Occupational Medicine, 1964
Since the Second World War an increasing amount of research effort has been devoted to the measurement of human characteristics and limitations and much of the work has been published for the guidance of the engineering designers. Many of the data have, however, been obtained from experiments using only one or a limited number of independent variables ...

Effect of practice on perceptual load

2014
Within attention studies, Lavie's load theory (Lavie & Tsal, 1994; Lavie, Hirst, de Fockert, & Viding, 2004) presented an account that could settle the question whether attention selects stimuli to be processed at an early or late stage of cognitive processing.
