In visual search tasks, observers look for targets among distractors. In the lab, this often
takes the form of multiple searches for a simple shape that may or may not be present …

Immediately following an event at a peripheral location there is facilitation for the processing
of other stimuli near that location. This is said to reflect a reflexive shift of attention towards …

Applied Attention Theory, Second Edition provides details concerning the relevance of all
aspects of attention to the world beyond the laboratory. Topic application areas include the …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents testing of the hypothesis that fixation locations
during scene viewing are primarily determined by visual salience. Eye movements were …

This paper reviews the use of eye tracking measures (saccades, smooth-pursuit eye
movements, fixations during scene and face perception, and pupillary dilation) to study …

We investigated the processing effort during visual search and counting tasks using a pupil
dilation measure. Search difficulty was manipulated by varying the number of distractors as …

The way the cognitive system scans the visual environment for relevant information–visual
search in short–has been a long-standing central topic in vision science. From its inception …

Research on contextual cueing has demonstrated that with simple arrays of letters and
shapes, search for a target increases in efficiency as associations between a search target …

When responding to a suddenly appearing stimulus, we are slower and/or less accurate
when the stimulus occurs at the same location of a previous event than when it appears in a …

Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) has been successfully used for describing
dynamic systems that are too complex to be characterized adequately by standard methods …
