What to expect where and when: How statistical learning drives visual selection

J Theeuwes, L Bogaerts, D van Moorselaar - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2022 - cell.com
While the visual environment contains massive amounts of information, we should not and
cannot pay attention to all events. Instead, we need to direct attention to those events that …

Progress toward resolving the attentional capture debate

SJ Luck, N Gaspelin, CL Folk, RW Remington… - Visual …, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
For over 25 years, researchers have debated whether physically salient stimuli capture

The role of inhibition in avoiding distraction by salient stimuli

N Gaspelin, SJ Luck - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2018 - cell.com
Researchers have long debated whether salient stimuli can involuntarily 'capture'visual
attention. We review here evidence for a recently discovered inhibitory mechanism that may …

Statistical regularities modulate attentional capture.

Selection history: How reward modulates selectivity of visual attention

M Failing, J Theeuwes - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2018 - Springer
Visual attention enables us to selectively prioritize or suppress information in the
environment. Prominent models concerned with the control of visual attention differentiate …

Visual selection: Usually fast and automatic; seldom slow and volitional

J Theeuwes - Journal of cognition, 2018 - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Recently it was argued that in addition to top-down and bottom-up processes, lingering
biases of selection history play a major role in visual selection (Awh, Belopolsky & …
