Representational structures as a unifying framework for attention
AF Chapman, VS Störmer - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2024 - cell.com
Our visual system consciously processes only a subset of the incoming information.
Selective attention allows us to prioritize relevant inputs, and can be allocated to features …

Feature-specific salience maps in human cortex
DD Thayer, TC Sprague - Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Priority map theory is a leading framework for understanding how various aspects of
stimulus displays and task demands guide visual attention. Per this theory, the visual system …

[HTML][HTML] Learning attentional templates for value-based decision-making
Attention filters sensory inputs to enhance task-relevant information. It is guided by an"
attentional template" that represents the stimulus features that are currently relevant. To …

Attention to object categories: Selection history determines the breadth of attentional tuning during real-world object search.
DA Addleman, R Rajasingh… - Journal of Experimental …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
People excel at learning the statistics of their environments. For instance, people rapidly
learn to pay attention to locations that frequently contain visual search targets. Here, we …

Expected distractor context biases the attentional template for target shapes.
M Lerebourg, FP de Lange… - Journal of Experimental …, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
Visual search is supported by an internal representation of the target, the attentional
template. However, which features are diagnostic of target presence critically depends on …

[HTML][HTML] Bayesian multi-level modelling for predicting single and double feature visual search
Performance in visual search tasks is frequently summarised by “search slopes”-the
additional cost in reaction time for each additional distractor. While search tasks with a …

[HTML][HTML] Top-down suppression of negative features applies flexibly contingent on visual search goals
M Forstinger, U Ansorge - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2024 - Springer
Visually searching for a frequently changing target is assumed to be guided by flexible
working memory representations of specific features necessary to discriminate targets from …

Age-related differences in saccadic indices of top–down guidance via short-term memory during visual search.
DJK Barrett, CV Hutchinson, F Zhang, H Xie… - Psychology and …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Aging has been associated with significant declines in the speed and accuracy of visual
search. These effects have been attributed partly to low-level (bottom–up) factors including …

Division and spreading of attention across color
Biological systems must allocate limited perceptual resources to relevant elements in their
environment. This often requires simultaneous selection of multiple elements from the same …
