An instance theory of attention and memory (ITAM) is presented that integrates formal
theories of attention and memory phenomena by exploiting commonalities in their formal …

This article presents a theory that integrates space-based and object-based approaches to
visual attention. The theory puts together MR van Oeffelen and PG Vos's (1982, 1983) …

A theory of executive control is presented that proposes that executive processes control
subordinate processes by manipulating their parameters, reconfiguring them to respond in …

This article asks whether serial order phenomena in perception, memory, and action are
manifestations of a single underlying serial order process. The question is addressed …

We address the problem of predicting how people will spontaneously divide into groups a
set of novel items. This is a process akin to perceptual organization. We therefore employ …

This article tests the conjecture that memory retrieval is attention turned inward by
develo** an episodic flanker task that is analogous to the well-known perceptual flanker …

Categorization is one of the fundamental building blocks of cognition, and the study of
categorization is notable for the extent to which formal modeling has been a central and …

We address the challenges of how to model human perceptual grou** in random dot
arrays and how perceptual grou** affects human number estimation in these arrays. We …

We report 10 experiments exploring the proposition that memory retrieval is perceptual
attention turned inward. The experiments adapt the Eriksen and Eriksen perceptual flanker …

Formal theories of attention based on similarity-choice theory and signal-detection theory
are reviewed to document cumulative progress in theoretical understanding of attention from …
