What to expect where and when: How statistical learning drives visual selection
While the visual environment contains massive amounts of information, we should not and
cannot pay attention to all events. Instead, we need to direct attention to those events that …

The past, present, and future of selection history
The last ten years of attention research have witnessed a revolution, replacing a theoretical
dichotomy (top-down vs. bottom-up control) with a trichotomy (biased by current goals …

Progress toward resolving the attentional capture debate
For over 25 years, researchers have debated whether physically salient stimuli capture
attention in an automatic manner, independent of the observer's goals, or whether the …

Getting rid of visual distractors: The why, when, how, and where
Distractor suppression, or the ability to disregard salient distractors while dealing with task-
relevant information, is a key component of selective attention. Recent research has shown …
