Telephone conversation impairs sustained visual attention via a central bottleneck [PDF]

, 2008
Recent research has shown that holding telephone conversations disrupts one's driving ability. We asked whether this effect could be attributed to a visual attention impairment.

Audio-visual integration during overt visual attention

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2008
How do different sources of information arising from different modalities interact to control where we look? To answer this question with respect to real-world operational conditions we presented natural images and spatially localized sounds in (V)isual,

The control of attention to faces [PDF]

, 2007
Humans attend to faces. This study examines the extent to which attention biases to faces are under top-down control. In a visual cueing paradigm, observers responded faster to a target probe appearing in the location of a face cue than of a competing ...

Attention to Monocular Images Bias Binocular Rivalry

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2019
When monocular images cannot be fused, perception alternates between the two (or more) possible images. This phenomenon, binocular rivalry (BR), is driven by the physical properties of the stimuli (size, contrast, spatial frequency, etc.) but it can also

Self-reflection Orients Visual Attention Downward

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Previous research has demonstrated abstract concepts associated with spatial location (e.g., God in the Heavens) could direct visual attention upward or downward, because thinking about the abstract concepts activates the corresponding vertical ...

The role of working memory in visual selective attention [PDF]

, 2001
The hypothesis is that working memory is crucial for reducing distraction by maintaining the prioritization of relevant information was tested in neuroimaging and psychological experiments with humans.

Mental fatigue affects visual selective attention. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Mental fatigue is a form of fatigue, induced by continuous task performance. Mentally fatigued people often report having a hard time keeping their attention focussed and being easily distracted.

Research on re-searching: interrupted foraging is not disrupted foraging

Cognitive Research
In classic visual search, observers typically search for the presence of a target in a scene or display. In foraging tasks, there may be multiple targets in the same display (or “patch”).
