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 distracter recognition levels despite always presenting distracter objects from the same view.

Conceptual and Methodological Concerns in the Theory of Perceptual Load
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 The present paper provides a short critical review of the theory of perceptual load. It closely examines the basic tenets and assumptions of the theory and identifies major conceptual and methodological problems that have been largely ignored in the ...

Inattentional Deafness: Visual Load Leads to Time-Specific Suppression of Auditory Evoked Responses [PDF]
, 2015 UNLABELLED: Due to capacity limits on perception, conditions of high perceptual load lead to reduced processing of unattended stimuli (Lavie et al., 2014).

The Competitive Influences of Perceptual Load and Working Memory Guidance on Selective Attention.
PLoS ONE, 2015 The perceptual load theory in selective attention literature proposes that the interference from task-irrelevant distractor is eliminated when perceptual capacity is fully consumed by task-relevant information.

Unconscious orientation processing depends on perceptual load
Journal of Vision, 2008 The effects of perceptual load on the level of adaptation to task-irrelevant and invisible oriented gratings were examined. Participants performed a task at fixation under conditions of low (detecting color targets) or high (detecting conjunctions of color and shape) perceptual load.

Cross-modal extinction in a boy with severely autistic behaviour and high verbal intelligence [PDF]
, 2008 Anecdotal reports from individuals with autism suggest a loss of awareness to stimuli from one modality in the presence of stimuli from another. Here we document such a case in a detailed study of T.M., a 13-year-old boy with autism in whom significant ...

Perceptual load modulates attentional capture by abrupt onsets [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2009 The abrupt appearance of a new object captures attention, even when the object is task irrelevant. These findings suggest that abrupt onsets capture attention in a stimulus-driven manner and are not susceptible to top-down influences on attentional control.

Evolutionary Relevance Facilitates Visual Information Processing
Evolutionary Psychology, 2013 Visual search of the environment is a fundamental human behavior that perceptual load affects powerfully. Previously investigated means for overcoming the inhibitions of high perceptual load, however, generalize poorly to real-world human behavior.

Auditory Distractors in the Visual Modality: No Evidence for Perceptual Load Hypothesis or Auditory Dominance [PDF]
, 2020 Attention is a valuable resource with limited capacity, so knowing what will distract us during important tasks can be crucial in life. There is a lot of support for the Perceptual Load Hypothesis (PLH) when examining visual distractibility; however,

Perceptual bias in Gestalt grouping by proximity affected by visual working memory load
Acta PsychologicaBasic perceptual processes, including perceptual grouping, are subject to bias. Bias for cardinal orientations interferes with Gestalt grouping by proximity in dot lattices.
