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 …

Inhibition in selective attention
D Van Moorselaar, HA Slagter - … of the New York Academy of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Our ability to focus on goal‐relevant aspects of the environment is critically dependent on
our ability to ignore or inhibit distracting information. One perspective is that distractor …

Ten simple rules to study distractor suppression
Distractor suppression refers to the ability to filter out distracting and task-irrelevant
information. Distractor suppression is essential for survival and considered a key aspect of …

The distractor positivity component and the inhibition of distracting stimuli
There has been a long-lasting debate about whether salient stimuli, such as uniquely
colored objects, have the ability to automatically distract us. To resolve this debate, it has …

Statistical learning of distractor suppression downregulates prestimulus neural excitability in early visual cortex
Visual attention is highly influenced by past experiences. Recent behavioral research has
shown that expectations about the spatial location of distractors within a search array are …

Strategic distractor suppression improves selective control in human vision
W Van Zoest, C Huber-Huber, MD Weaver… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
Our visual environment is complicated, and our cognitive capacity is limited. As a result, we
must strategically ignore some stimuli to prioritize others. Common sense suggests that …

Neural mechanisms underlying expectation-dependent inhibition of distracting information
D van Moorselaar, E Lampers, E Cordesius, HA Slagter - elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Predictions based on learned statistical regularities in the visual world have been shown to
facilitate attention and goal-directed behavior by sharpening the sensory representation of …

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 terms. Obviously, communication–and …

[HTML][HTML] Neural mechanisms underlying distractor inhibition on the basis of feature and/or spatial expectations
A rapidly growing body of research indicates that inhibition of distracting information may not
be under flexible, top-down control, but instead heavily relies on expectations derived from …

Distractor ignoring: Strategies, learning, and passive filtering
Our sensory environments contain more information than we can process, and successful
behaviors require the ability to separate task-relevant information from task-irrelevant …
