The scientific community has witnessed growing concern about the high rate of false

Attention and memory cannot operate without each other. In this review, we discuss two
lines of recent evidence that support this interdependence. First, memory has a limited …

Memories are about the past, but they serve the future. Memory research often emphasizes
the former aspect: focusing on the functions that re-constitute (re-member) experience and …

Repeated contexts yield faster response time in visual search, compared with novel
contexts. This effect is known as contextual cueing. Despite extensive study over the past …

Vision and memory are two of the most intensively studied topics in psychology and
neuroscience. The present book concerns the interaction between vision and memory: How …

Sometimes, salient-but-irrelevant objects (distractors) presented concurrently with a search
target cannot be ignored and attention is involuntarily allocated towards the distractor first …

Visual search is facilitated when the target is repeatedly encountered at a fixed position
within an invariant (vs. randomly variable) distractor layout—that is, when the layout is …

Prior knowledge and long‐term memory can guide our attention to facilitate search for and
detection of subtle targets embedded in a complex scene. A number of neuropsychological …

Visual search is speeded when a target is repeatedly presented in an invariant scene
context of nontargets (contextual cueing), demonstrating observers' capability for using …

Both optimism bias and reward-related attention bias have crucial implications for well-being
and mental health. Yet, the extent to which the two biases interact remains unclear because …
