Race Guides Attention in Visual Search. [PDF]
PLoS 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]
, 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 ...

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

The psychophysics of visual search
Vision Research, 2000 Most theories of visual search emphasize issues of limited versus unlimited capacity and serial versus parallel processing. In the present article, we suggest a broader framework based on two principles, one empirical and one theoretical. The empirical principle is to focus on conditions at the intersection of visual search and the simple detection and

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

The roles of symbolic and numerical representations in asymmetric visual search
Acta Psychologica, 2021 This study aims to explore the impact of symbolic and numerical representations in asymmetric visual search. Heterogeneous and homogeneous mathematical units, letters, symbols and numbers were used in the first and second experiments, respectively ...

Effects of age and eccentricity on visual target detection
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014 The aim of this study was to examine the effects of aging and target eccentricity on a visual search task comprising 30 images of everyday life projected into a hemisphere, realizing a ± 90° visual field.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Faces spontaneously capture attention. However, which special attributes of a face underlie this effect are unclear. To address this question, we investigate how gist information, specific visual properties and differing amounts of experience with faces ...

Functional brain organization of preparatory attentional control in visual search [PDF]
, 2013 Looking for an object that may be present in a cluttered visual display requires an advanced specification of that object to be created and then matched against the incoming visual input.

The Attentional Capture Debate: When Can We Avoid Salient Distractors and When Not?
Journal of Cognition, 2023 There has been a long-standing debate concerning whether we are able to resist attention capture by salient distractors. The so-called “signal suppression hypothesis” of Gaspelin and Luck (2018) claimed to have resolved this debate.
