The ignoring paradox: Cueing distractor features leads first to selection, then to inhibition of to-be-ignored items
J Moher, HE Egeth - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2012 - Springer
Observers find a target item more quickly when they have foreknowledge of target-defining
attributes, such as identity, color, or location. However, it is less clear whether …

Abandoning and modifying one action plan for alternatives
JH Song - … Transactions of the Royal Society B …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Visual scenes are often complex and crowded with many different objects. To interact
effectively, we must choose one object at a time as a goal for action. Certain external cues …

Inhibition drives early feature-based attention
Attention can modulate processing of visual input according to task-relevant features, even
as early as approximately 100 ms after stimulus presentation. In the present study, event …

Dissociable effects of salience on attention and goal-directed action
Everyday behavior frequently involves encounters with multiple objects that compete for
selection. For example, driving a car requires constant shifts of attention between oncoming …

Building Bridges: Visual Search Meets Action Control via Inter-Trial Sequence Effects
What we have attended to in the past, as well as the stimulus context associated with past
motor responses, have a strong impact on our current behavior. These influences have been …

[HTML][HTML] A dual-stage account of inter-trial priming effects
The study of inter-trial effects in visual search has generated an increasing amount of
research in recent years. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects are still a …

Neural correlates of goal-directed enhancement and suppression of visual stimuli in the absence of conscious perception
An observer's current goals can influence the processing of visual stimuli. Such influences
can work to enhance goal-relevant stimuli and suppress goal-irrelevant stimuli. Here, we …

Failure to pop out: Feature singletons do not capture attention under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.
Pop-out search implies that the target is always the first item selected, no matter how many
distractors are presented. However, increasing evidence indicates that search is not entirely …

Mechanisms of priming of pop-out: Stored representations or feature-gain modulations?
Previous research has shown that repetition of a task-relevant attention-capturing feature
facilitates popout search. This priming of pop-out effect is due to some residual memory from …

A new look at novelty effects: Guiding search away from old distractors
We examined whether search is guided to novel distractors. In Experiment 1, subjects
searched for a target among one new and a variable number of old distractors. Search …
