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 ...

Visual perceptual load and processing of somatosensory stimuli in primary and secondary somatosensory cortices [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Load theory assumes that neural activation to distractors in early sensory cortices is modulated by the perceptual load of a main task, regardless of whether task and distractor share the same sensory modality or not.

Perceptual load modulates the delta oscillation and the contribution of delta oscillation to reward positivity during feedback valence encoding [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyRewP (reward positivity) and P300 are feedback-related ERP components, while delta and theta are oscillatory responses evoked during feedback processing. While the perceptual difficulty of feedback modulates ERP components, its impact on feedback-related

The Impact of Perceptual Load and Distractors' Perceptual Grouping on Visual Search in ASD. [PDF]
Behav Sci (Basel)This study examined potential visual search advantages in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and explored the roles of distractor grouping and perceptual load by comparing their performance with that of typically developing (TD) controls.

Nonlinear Effects of Linearly Increasing Perceptual Load on ERPs to Emotional Pictures. [PDF]
Cereb Cortex Commun, 2020 The prioritized processing of emotional as compared to neutral stimuli is reflected in enlarged event-related potentials (ERPs). However, perceptual load theory proposes that under conditions of high perceptual load, information processing is attenuated ...

Loads of unconscious processing: The role of perceptual load in processing unattended stimuli during inattentional blindness. [PDF]
Atten Percept Psychophys, 2020 Inattentional blindness describes the failure to detect an unexpected but clearly visible object when our attention is engaged elsewhere. While the factors that determine the occurrence of inattentional blindness are already well understood, there is ...

Perceptual biases and positive schizotypy: The role of perceptual load
Personality and Individual Differences, 2006 The study investigated the effects of perceptual load on the bias to report seeing non-existing events—a bias associated with positive symptoms of schizophrenia and positive schizotypal symptoms.

The Effect and Time Course of Prediction and Perceptual Load on Category-Based Attentional Orienting Across Color and Shape Dimensions [PDF]
Brain SciencesObjectives: This study investigated the temporal dynamics of category-based attentional orienting (CAO) under the influences of prediction (top-down) and perceptual load (bottom-up) across color and shape dimensions, combining behavioral and event ...

Perceptual load-dependent neural correlates of distractor interference inhibition.
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundThe load theory of selective attention hypothesizes that distractor interference is suppressed after perceptual processing (i.e., in the later stage of central processing) at low perceptual load of the central task, but in the early stage of ...
