Both perceptual and cognitive processes are limited in capacity. As a result, attention is
selective, prioritizing items and tasks that are important for adaptive behavior. However, a …

Training or exposure to a visual feature leads to a long‐term improvement in performance
on visual tasks that employ this feature. Such performance improvements and the processes …

At construction workplaces, workers should be consistently attentive to approaching and
nearby safety hazards. However, workers tend to allocate most of their attentional resources …

Repeated exposure to hazards in road construction work zones often generates worker
habituation to risks associated with those hazards, a key causal factor in workplace …

Practice can improve visual perception, and these improvements are considered to be a
form of brain plasticity. Training-induced learning is time-consuming and requires hundreds …

Perceptual skills can be improved through practice on a perceptual task, even in adulthood.
Visual perceptual learning is known to be mostly specific to the trained retinal location …

Covert attention and perceptual learning enhance perceptual performance. The relation
between these two mechanisms is largely unknown. Previously, we showed that …

In high-risk work environments, workers become habituated to hazards they frequently
encounter, subsequently underestimating risk and engaging in unsafe behaviors. This …

Increasing attention to an item typically interferes with the ability to process other concurrent
information. The attentional boost effect, however, appears to contradict the ubiquity of dual …

Concentration is one of the most important factor in determining the efficiency of learning.
There has not been, however, much systematic research on controlling the level of …
