In many theories of cognition, researchers propose that working memory and perception
operate interactively. For example, in previous studies researchers have suggested that …

In this review, we discuss how neuropsychological impairments in visual selection can
inform us about how selection normally operates. Using neuroanatomical and behavioral …

The relatively common experimental visual search task of finding a red X amongst red O's
and green X's (conjunction search) presents the visual system with a binding problem …

Selective attention involves the relative enhancement of relevant versus irrelevant stimuli.
However, whether this relative enhancement involves primarily enhancement of attended …

In visual search, the more one knows about a target, the faster one can find it. Surprisingly,
target identification is also faster with knowledge about distractor-features. The latter is …

We examined the ability of older adults to select local and global stimuli varying in
perceptual saliency—a task requiring nonspatial visual selection. Participants were asked to …

Multiple-object tracking (MOT) studies have shown that tracking ability declines as object
speed increases. However, this might be attributed solely to the increased number of times …

Age differences in the spatial distribution of attention over a wide field of view have only
been described in terms of the spatial extent, leaving the topographical aspect unexplored …

Previewing a set of distractors allows them to be ignored in a subsequent visual search task
(Watson & Humphreys, 1997). Seven experiments investigated whether this preview benefit …

Four experiments examined the effects of precues on visual search for targets defined by a
color-orientation conjunction. Experiment 1 showed that cueing the identity of targets …
