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 …

Previous work has demonstrated that when targets are defined by a constant feature,
attention can be directed rapidly and in parallel to sequentially presented target objects at …

Dimension-based accounts of visual search and selection have significantly contributed to
the understanding of the cognitive mechanisms of attention. Extensions of the original …

Efficient searches are guided by target-distractor distinctiveness: the greater the
distinctiveness, the faster the search. Previous research showed that when the target and …

Visual enumeration of small numerosities critically depends on the capacity of our visual
system to process multiple objects as distinct entities. We assessed the functioning of this …

To find out whether attentional target selection can be effectively guided by top-down task
sets for multiple colors, we measured behavioral and ERP markers of attentional target …

The availability and importance of data are accelerating, and our visual system is a critical
tool for understanding it. The research field of data visualization seeks design guidelines …

When a target and a distractor that share the same response dimension appear in rapid
succession, participants often erroneously report the distractor instead of the target. Using …

When observers must identify targets among distractors in a rapid serial visual presentation
(RSVP) stream, distractor intrusion errors are frequent, demonstrating the difficulty of …

It is often claimed that probabilistic expectations affect visual perception directly, without
mediation by selective attention. However, these claims have been disputed, as effects of …
