Statistical learning of distractor locations is dependent on task context

J De Waard, D Van Moorselaar, L Bogaerts… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Through statistical learning, humans can learn to suppress visual areas that often contain
distractors. Recent findings suggest that this form of learned suppression is insensitive to …

Asymmetric learning of dynamic spatial regularities in visual search: Robust facilitation of predictable target locations, fragile suppression of distractor locations.

H Yu, F Allenmark, HJ Müller, Z Shi - Journal of Experimental …, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
Static statistical regularities in the placement of targets and salient distractors within the
search display can be learned and used to optimize attentional guidance. Whether statistical …

[HTML][HTML] Learning regular cross-trial shifts of the target location in serial search involves awareness–an eye-tracking study

H Yu, F Allenmark, HJ Müller, Z Shi - Cognition, 2025 - Elsevier
People can learn and use both static and dynamic (cross-trial) regularities in the positioning
of target items during parallel,'pop-out'visual search. Static target-location learning also …

Are selection history effects limited to implicit forms of memory? Evidence from intertrial repetition.

AM Kershner, A Hollingworth - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Selection history effects in visual attention are typically considered implicit memory effects. In
three experiments, we investigated if a key selection history effect, intertrial priming, could be …

Neural Evidence for Feature-based Distractor Inhibition

AA Hanne, S Han, A Schubö - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
Interference from a salient distractor is typically reduced when the appearance of the
distractor follows either spatial or feature-based regularities. Although there is a growing …
