High Perceptual Load Makes Monocular Attention Different [PDF]

open access: yesNature Precedings, 2010
Attention is a fundamental function of the human which is important in our daily life. Perceptual load is thought to play an important role in selective attention^1,2^.

Competition explains limited attention and perceptual resources: implications for perceptual load and dilution theories [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
Both perceptual load theory and dilution theory purport to explain when and why task-irrelevant information, or so-called distractors are processed. Central to both explanations is the notion of limited resources, although the theories differ in the ...

Attentional capture under high perceptual load [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic 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 ...

Visual perceptual load induces inattentional deafness [PDF]

open access: yesAttention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2011
In this article, we establish a new phenomenon of "inattentional deafness" and highlight the level of load on visual attention as a critical determinant of this phenomenon. In three experiments, we modified an inattentional blindness paradigm to assess inattentional deafness. Participants made either a low- or high-load visual discrimination concerning

The effects of visual perceptual load on detection performance and event-related potentials to auditory stimuli

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2023
Load Theory states that perceptual load prevents, or at least reduces, the processing of task-unrelated stimuli. This study systematically examined the detection and neural processing of auditory stimuli unrelated to a visual foreground task.

Conceptual structure, information load and perceptual complexity [PDF]

open access: bronzePsychonomic Science, 1965
A simulated decision making environment was used to test certain theoretical propositions of Schroder, Driver & Streufert (in press). It was shown that differentiation and integration in perception increases with increasing information load until a criterion of optimal perception is reached. Beyond this optimal point, differentiation and integration in

Perceptual load does not modulate auditory distractor processing [PDF]

open access: yesCognition, 2013
In vision, it is well established that the perceptual load of a relevant task determines the extent to which irrelevant distractors are processed. Much less research has addressed the effects of perceptual load within hearing. Here, we provide an extensive test using two different perceptual load manipulations, measuring distractor processing through ...
