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.

Cognitive-perceptual load modulates hand selection in left-handers to a greater extent than in right-handers. [PDF]
Exp Brain Res, 2019 Previous studies have proposed that selecting which hand to use for a reaching task appears to be modulated by a factor described as “task difficulty,” defined by either the requirement for spatial precision or movement sequences.

Enhancement and Suppression in the Visual Field under Perceptual Load [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 The perceptual load theory of attention proposes that the degree to which visual distractors are processed is a function of the attentional demands of a task – greater demands increase filtering of irrelevant distractors.

Large inter-individual and intra-individual variability in the effect of perceptual load. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 This study examined whether the recurrent difficulty to replicate results obtained with paradigms measuring distractor processing as a function of perceptual load is due to individual differences. We first reanalyzed, at the individual level, the data of

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 ...

Comparing Eye-Tracking Metrics with the Driver Activity Load Index [PDF]
Journal of Eye Movement ResearchThis study investigated how perceptual workload in driving situations is captured by subjective ratings versus eye-tracking metrics. Fifty participants completed low- and high-complexity conditions while fixation behavior, blinks, and pupil diameter were

What’s on your mind? A Mental and Perceptual Load Estimation Framework towards Adaptive In-vehicle Interaction while Driving [PDF]
UI, 2022 Several researchers have focused on studying driver cognitive behavior and mental load for in-vehicle interaction while driving. Adaptive interfaces that vary with mental and perceptual load levels could help in reducing accidents and enhancing the ...

Alpha oscillations reflect suppression of distractors with increased perceptual load
bioRxiv, 2021 Attention serves an essential role in cognition and behaviour allowing us to focus on behaviourally-relevant objects while ignoring distraction. Perceptual load theory states that attentional resources are allocated according to the requirements of the ...

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.
