When two people look at the same object in the environment and are aware of each other's
attentional state, they find themselves in a shared-attention episode. This can occur through …

Can individuals look for multiple objects at the same time? A simple question, but answering
it has proven difficult. In this review, we describe possible cognitive architectures and their …

The way the cognitive system scans the visual environment for relevant information–visual
search in short–has been a long-standing central topic in vision science. From its inception …

Efficient visual search requires that attention is guided strategically to relevant objects, and
most theories of visual search implement this function by means of a target template …

Recently, working memory (WM) has been conceptualized as a limited resource, distributed
flexibly and strategically between an unlimited number of representations. In addition to …

People can use a target template consisting of one or more features to guide attention and
gaze to matching objects in a search array. But can we also use feature information to guide …

In five experiments, we examined whether a task-irrelevant item in visual working memory
(VWM) interacts with perceptual selection when VWM must also be used to maintain a …

There is considerable evidence that salient items can be suppressed in order to prevent
attentional capture. However, this evidence has relied almost exclusively on paradigms …

To study whether top-down attentional control processes can be set simultaneously for
different visual features, we employed a spatial cueing procedure to measure behavioral …

There is a growing body of research demonstrating that the capture of attention by a single
salient distractor can be prevented via proactive suppression. In real-world contexts, there …
