Tuning social modulations of gaze cueing via contextual factors
Gaze cueing reflects the tendency to shift attention toward a location cued by the averted gaze of others. This effect does not fulfill criteria for...

Cueing natural event boundaries improves memory in people with post-traumatic stress disorder
People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often report difficulty remembering information in their everyday lives. Recent findings suggest...

Spatial attention in mental arithmetic: A literature review and meta-analysis
We review the evidence for the conceptual association between arithmetic and space and quantify the effect size in meta-analyses. We focus on three...

Contextual cueing in preview search
Frequently finding a target in the same location within a familiar context reduces search time, relative to search for objects appearing in novel...

An analysis of the perception of stop consonants in bilinguals and monolinguals in different phonetic contexts: A range-based language cueing approach
Bilinguals’ observed perceptual shift across language contexts for shared acoustic properties between their languages supports the idea that...

How does language affect spatial attention? Deconstructing the prime-target relationship
It is still unclear how spatially associated concepts (e.g., directional expressions, object names, metaphors) shape our cognitive experience. Here,...

CPNCoverageAnalysis: An R package for parameter estimation in conceptual properties norming studies
In conceptual properties norming studies (CPNs), participants list properties that describe a set of concepts. From CPNs, many different parameters...

Visual temporal attention from perception to computation
Visual attention unfolds across space and time to prioritize a subset of incoming visual information. Distinct in key ways from spatial attention,...

A Conceptual Review of Models and Findings Regarding Attention Bias for Social Anxiety
Social anxiety disorder is a highly prevalent condition. It is characterized by an intense fear of negative evaluation in social situations and is...

Object-based attention requires monocular visual pathways
Mechanisms of object-based attention (OBA) are commonly associated with the cerebral cortex. However, less is known about the involvement of...

Non-magnitude sources of bias on duration judgements for blank intervals: conceptual relatedness of interval markers reduces subjective interval duration
We report three experiments in which the events flanking a temporal interval were either related or unrelated, based on overlap in the letter...

A new technique for estimating the probability of attentional capture
Latency-based metrics of attentional capture are limited: They indicate whether or not capture occurred, but they do not indicate how often capture...

Improving On-Task Behavior in Children and Youth with ADHD: Wearable Technology as a Possible Solution
The objective of this paper is to provide the rational and conceptual foundation used to develop a wearable device to improve on-task behavior. Time...

The Architecture of Object-Based Attention
The allocation of attention to objects raises several intriguing questions: What are objects, how does attention access them, what anatomical regions...

How to carry out conceptual properties norming studies as parameter estimation studies: Lessons from ecology
Conceptual properties norming studies (CPNs) ask participants to produce properties that describe concepts. From that data, different metrics may be...

Spotting lesions in thorax X-rays at a glance: holistic processing in radiology
Radiologists often need only a glance to grasp the essence of complex medical images. Here, we use paradigms and manipulations from perceptual...

Can templates-for-rejection suppress real-world affective objects in visual search?
Previous evidence has suggested that feature-based templates-for-rejection can be maintained in working memory to suppress matching features in the...

Ignored visual context does not induce latent learning
People usually become faster at finding a visual target after repeated exposure to the same search display. This effect, known as contextual cueing ,...

More than a feeling: physiological measures of affect index the integration of effort costs and rewards during anticipatory effort evaluation
The notion that humans avoid effortful action is one of the oldest and most persistent in psychology. Influential theories of effort propose that...

Terms of debate: Consensus definitions to guide the scientific discourse on visual distraction
Hypothesis-driven research rests on clearly articulated scientific theories. The building blocks for communicating these theories are scientific...
