In 7 experiments, the authors explored whether visual attention (the ability to select relevant
visual information) and visual working memory (the ability to retain relevant visual …

Given human capacity limitations, to behave adaptively we need to prioritise the order of
visual processing to ensure that the most relevant information is available to control action …

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 …

Background: In order to examine the mechanisms mediating selective attention in Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), this study compared the performance of children …

The cost of incongruent stimuli is reduced when conflict is expected. This series of
experiments tested whether this improved performance is due to repetition priming or to …

This paper is concerned with how we prioritize the selection of new objects in visual scenes.
We present four experiments investigating the effects of distractor previews on visual search …

Watson and Humphreys (1997) have proposed that prioritized selection of new over old
elements occurs because observers can apply top-down inhibition to the locations of the old …

The preview effect demonstrates that if observers in a visual search task are allowed a
preview of a subset of elements before another subset of elements is added to the display …

In dem vorliegenden Kapitel werden zwei zentrale Funktionen der selektiven
Aufmerksamkeit diskutiert: die perzeptive Aufmerksamkeit und die handlungssteuernde …
