The Impact of Perceptual Load on the Non-Conscious Processing of Fearful Faces. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Emotional stimuli can be processed without consciousness. In the current study, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to assess whether perceptual load influences non-conscious processing of fearful facial expressions.

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

Visual perceptual load induces inattentional deafness [PDF]
Attention, 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

NeuroImage, 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.

Auditory perceptual load: A review
Hearing Research, 2017 Selective attention is a crucial mechanism in everyday life, allowing us to focus on a portion of incoming sensory information at the expense of other less relevant stimuli. The circumstances under which irrelevant stimuli are successfully ignored have been a topic of scientific interest for several decades now.

Degraded stimulus visibility and the effects of perceptual load on distractor interference
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 In this study we examined whether effects of perceptual load on the attentional selectivity are modulated by degradation of the visual input. According to the perceptual load theory, increasing task difficulty via degradation of stimulus visibility ...

Predicting human complexity perception of real-world scenes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Perceptual load is a well-established determinant of attentional engagement in a task. So far, perceptual load has typically been manipulated by increasing either the number of task-relevant items or the perceptual processing demand (e.g.

Negative affective state mimics effects of perceptual load on spatial perception [PDF]
, 2013 Recent electrophysiological evidence has shown that perceptual load and negative affective state can produce very similar, early-attention gating effects in early visual areas, modulating the processing of peripheral stimuli.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Our research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of auditory, visual, and audiovisual warning signals for capturing the attention of the pilot, and how stimulus onset asynchronies (SOA) in audiovisual stimuli affect pilots perceiving the bimodal ...
