Individual Differences and Metacognitive Knowledge of Visual Search Strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A crucial ability for an organism is to orient toward important objects and to ignore temporarily irrelevant objects. Attention provides the perceptual selectivity necessary to filter an overwhelming input of sensory information to allow for efficient ...

When are abrupt onsets found efficiently in complex visual search? : evidence from multi-element asynchronous dynamic search [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Previous work has found that search principles derived from simple visual search tasks do not necessarily apply to more complex search tasks. Using a Multielement Asynchronous Dynamic (MAD) visual search task, in which high numbers of stimuli could ...

Race Guides Attention in Visual Search. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
It is known that faces are rapidly and even unconsciously categorized into social groups (black vs. white, male vs. female). Here, I test whether preferences for specific social groups guide attention, using a visual search paradigm.

The role of memory and restricted context in repeated visual search [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Previous studies have shown that the efficiency of visual search does not improve when participants search through the same unchanging display for hundreds of trials (repeated search), even though the participants have a clear memory of the search ...

Reconsidering Visual Search

open access: yesi-Perception, 2015
The visual search paradigm has had an enormous impact in many fields. A theme running through this literature has been the distinction between preattentive and attentive processing, which I refer to as the two-stage assumption.

Testing the Attentional Dwelling Hypothesis of Attentional Capture

open access: yesJournal of Cognition, 2018
Researchers are strongly divided as to whether abrupt onsets capture spatial attention in a purely stimulus-driven fashion or contingent on their search goals.

Visual search elicits the electrophysiological marker of visual working memory. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Although limited in capacity, visual working memory (VWM) plays an important role in many aspects of visually-guided behavior. Recent experiments have demonstrated an electrophysiological marker of VWM encoding and maintenance, the ...

Everything is Foreseen, Yet Free will is Given (Mishna Avot 3:15)

open access: yesJournal of Cognition, 2018
Jan Theeuwes’ review of visual selection shines a useful spotlight on the role of selection history in determining subsequent deployments of attention. However, he blurs an important distinction between volition and top-down guidance of attention and he ...

Is countershading camouflage robust to lighting change due to weather? [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Countershading is a pattern of coloration thought to have evolved in order to implement camouflage. By adopting a pattern of coloration that makes the surface facing towards the sun darker and the surface facing away from the sun lighter, the overall ...
