Visual search (VS) is a fundamental task in daily life widely studied for over half a century. A
variant of the classic paradigm—searching one target among distractors—requires the …

Research within visual cognition has made tremendous strides in uncovering the basic
operating characteristics of the visual system by reducing the complexity of natural vision to …

Visual search tasks play a key role in theories of visual attention. But single-target search
tasks may provide only a snapshot of attentional orienting. Foraging tasks with multiple …

Visual foraging is a variant of visual search, consisting of searching for an undetermined
number of targets among distractors (eg, looking for various LEGO pieces in a box). Under …

Visual attention evolved in a three-dimensional (3D) world, yet studies on human attention in
three dimensions are sparse. Here we present findings from a human foraging study in …

Visual foraging tasks require participants to search for multiple targets among numerous
distractors. Foraging paradigms enable insights into the function of visual attention above …

Foraging tasks are increasingly used to investigate human visual attention as they may
provide a more dynamic and multifaceted picture of attentional orienting than more …

A vast amount of research has been carried out to understand how humans visually search
for targets in their environment. However, this research has typically involved search for one …

In real-world tasks visual attention is rarely aimed at a single object. Humans rather “forage”
the visual scene for information, dynamically switching attentional templates. Several visual …

Search templates guide human visual attention toward relevant targets. Templates are often
seen as encoding exact target features, but recent studies suggest that templates rather …
