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

J Moher, BM Lakshmanan, HE Egeth… - Psychological …, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
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

J Moher, BA Anderson, JH Song - Current Biology, 2015 - cell.com
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

D Lamy, C Frings, HR Liesefeld - Review of General …, 2024 - journals.sagepub.com
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

D Lamy, A Yashar, L Ruderman - Vision Research, 2010 - Elsevier
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

SL Travis, PE Dux, JB Mattingley - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2019 - Springer
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.

D Rangelov, HJ Müller… - Journal of Experimental …, 2017 - psycnet.apa.org
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?

H Lee, MC Mozer, SP Vecera - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2009 - Springer
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

H Yang, X Chen, GJ Zelinsky - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2009 - Springer
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 …
