Correction to: Salience matters: Distractors may, or may not, speed target-absent searches

Article

Delayed onsets are not necessary for generating distractor quitting thresholds effects in visual search

Salient distractors lower quitting thresholds in visual search. That is, when searching for the presence of a target among filler items, a large heterogeneously coloured distractor presented at a delayed onset...

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 ...

The interaction of internal and external attention

The internal/external framework of attention characterizes attention focused to perceptual stimuli and internal representations as highly similar processes. While much research on external attention examines h...

The item-specific proportion congruency effect transfers to non-category members based on broad visual similarity

The item-specific proportion congruency (ISPC) effect—that Stroop effects are reduced for items that are more likely to be incongruent than congruent—indicates that humans have the remarkable capacity to resol...

The item-specific proportion congruency effect can be contaminated by short-term repetition priming

The item-specific proportion congruency (ISPC) effect reflects the phenomenon that Stroop congruency effects are larger for Stroop items that are more likely to be congruent (MC) than incongruent (MI). While t...

Salience matters: Distractors may, or may not, speed target-absent searches

Attention is often captured by irrelevant but salient changes in the environment, and usually results in slowed search speeds and increased errors during a typical visual search task. Nonetheless, a recent stu...

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...

Typicality modulates attentional capture by object categories

What we pay attention to in the visual environment is often driven by what we know about the world. For example, a number of studies have found that observers can adopt attentional sets for a particular semant...

Context isn’t everything: Search performance is influenced by the nature of the task but not the background

Abstract

Article

Shifting attention does not influence numerical processing

Many theories of numerical cognition assume that numbers and space share a common representation at the response level. For example, observers are faster to respond to small numbers with their left hand and la...

When do response-related episodic retrieval effects co-occur with inhibition of return?

At some point, spatial priming effects more faithfully reflect response selection processes than they do attentional orienting or sensory processes. Findings from the spatial cueing literature suggest that two...

Re-examining Maljkovic and Nakayama (1994): Conscious expectancy does affect the Priming of Pop-out effect

Maljkovic and Nakayama (Memory & Cognition, 22(6), 657-672, 1994) observed that color singleton search performance was faster when the target and distractor colors repeated rather than switched across trials − an...

Visual working memory load does not eliminate visuomotor repetition effects

When we respond to a stimulus, our ability to quickly execute this response depends on how combinations of stimulus and response features match to previous combinations of stimulus and response features. Some ...

Article

The transfer of location-based control requires location-based conflict

It is well supported that stimulus-driven control of attention varies depending on the degree of conflict previously encountered in a given location. Previous research has further shown that control settings e...

Hidden from view: Statistical learning exposes latent attentional capture

Contingent-capture cueing paradigms have long shown that salient visual stimuli—both abrupt onsets and color singleton cues—fail to reliably capture attention if they do not resemble the search target. There m...

It is not in the details: Self-related shapes are rapidly classified but their features are not better remembered

Self-prioritization is a robust phenomenon whereby judgments concerning self-representational stimuli are faster than judgments toward other stimuli. The present paper examines if and how self-prioritization c...

Is attention really biased toward the last target location in visual search? Attention, response rules, distractors, and eye movements

The visual search and target–target cueing literatures have reached opposite conclusions about whether a shift of attention is biased toward or away from, respectively, previously attended target locations. In...
