Our ability to control our attention to focus on goal-relevant information is critical for
functioning in daily life. In addition to the typical attentional control driven by target …

Visual attention is often characterized as being guided by precise memories for target
objects. However, real-world search targets have dynamic features that vary over time …

There is a growing body of research demonstrating that the capture of attention by a single

In a visual search task, knowing features of distractors in advance leads to a more efficient
visual search. Although previous studies suggested that the benefits of these negative cues …

Can we use attentional control to ignore known distractor features? Providing cues before a
