Imagined object files: Visual imagery produces partial repetition costs where perception does not
The present study explored whether object (or event) files can be formed that integrate color imagery and perceptual location features. To assess this issue, a cue–target procedure was used whereby color image...

Top-down then automatic: Instructions can continue to influence visual search when no longer actively implemented
The present study investigated the automaticity of top-down instructions in visual search when the instruction was no longer actively implemented. To do so, we exploited the Priming of Pop-out (PoP) effect, a ...

It hurts more than it helps: Cuing T1 with imagery can impair T2 identification in an attentional blink task
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether cuing a first target with color imagery could influence second target identification using the two-target attentional blink procedure of MacLellan, Shor...

Comparing imagery and perception: Using eye movements to dissociate mechanisms in search
It has been demonstrated that color imagery can have a profound impact when generated prior to search, while at the same time, perceptual cues have a somewhat limited influence. Given this discrepancy, the pre...

Looking into the mind’s eye: Directed and evaluated imagery vividness modulates imagery-perception congruency effects
While most people have had the experience of seeing a representation in the mind’s eye, it is an open question whether we have control over the vividness of these representations. The present study explored th...

Visual imagery influences attentional guidance during visual search: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence
Recent behavioral studies have shown that color imagery can benefit visual search when it is congruent with an upcoming target. In the present study we investigated whether this color imagery benefit was due t...

Learning of association between a context and multiple possible target locations in a contextual cueing paradigm
Searching for a target is faster in a repeated context compared to a new context, possibly because the learned contextual information guides visual attention to the target location (attentional guidance). Prev...

Selective attention effects on recognition: the roles of list context and perceptual difficulty
Two recent studies reported superior recognition memory for items that were incongruent targets than for items that were congruent targets in a prior incidental study phase (Krebs et al. in Cereb Cortex (New Y...

Coordinating the interaction between past and present: Visual working memory for feature bindings overwritten by subsequent action to matching features
The object-file framework forwarded by Kaheman, Treisman, and Gibbs (1992) has been enormously influential in our understanding of how the visual system links together prior visual content with a current input...

Imagined event files: An interplay between imagined and perceived objects
An important function of attention is to integrate features processed in distinct brain areas into a single coherent object representation. The immediate outcome of this binding process has been termed an even...

Perceptual similarity induces overinvestment in an attentional blink task
The overinvestment account of the attentional blink (AB) posits that the AB results from the allocation of more resources than necessary to encode a first target (T1), which in turn lowers the resources availa...

A cow on the prairie vs. a cow on the street: long-term consequences of semantic conflict on episodic encoding
Long-term effects of cognitive conflict on performance are not as well understood as immediate effects. We used a change detection task to explore long-term consequences of cognitive conflict by manipulating t...

Contextual control over selective attention: evidence from a two-target method
Selective attention is generally studied with conflict tasks, using response time as the dependent measure. Here, we study the impact of selective attention to a first target, T1, presented simultaneously with...

Selective attention and recognition: effects of congruency on episodic learning
Recent research on cognitive control has focused on the learning consequences of high selective attention demands in selective attention tasks (e.g., Botvinick, Cognit Affect Behav Neurosci 7(4):356–366, 2007; Ve...

Revisiting the time course of inter-trial feature priming in singleton search
Current theories of the locus of inter-trial priming effects in efficient visual search posit an early perceptual component that reflects the short-term influence of a memory trace for low-level stimulus attri...

Learning what to expect: context-specific control over intertrial priming effects in singleton search
The present study explored the degree to which repetition effects in color pop-out search from trial n − 1 to trial n are subject to the attentional control settings of the observer. Intertrial priming effects we...

Contingency blindness: Location-identity binding mismatches obscure awareness of spatial contingencies and produce profound interference in visual working memory
The purpose of the present study was to highlight the role of location–identity binding mismatches in obscuring explicit awareness of a strong contingency. In a spatial-priming procedure, we introduced a high ...

Perceptual distinctiveness produces long-lasting priming of pop-out
Maljkovic and Nakayama (1994) demonstrated memory influences in singleton search from one trial to the next, an effect they termed priming of pop-out (PoP). This effect was described as resulting from the persist...

Audiovisual interactions depend on context of congruency
In this study, we addressed how the particular context of stimulus congruency influences audiovisual interactions. We combined an audiovisual congruency task with a proportion-of-congruency manipulation. In Ex...
