According to most models of selective visual attention, our goals at any given moment and
saliency in the visual field determine attentional priority. But selection is not carried out in …

In the present study, we explored the mechanisms involved in the contingent capture
phenomenon, using a variant of the classic precuing paradigm of Folk, Remington, and …

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 …

Current models of visual search assume that visual attention can be guided by tuning
attention toward specific feature values (eg, particular size, color) or by inhibiting the …

Although models of visual search have often assumed that attention can only be set for a
single feature or property at a time, recent studies have suggested that it may be possible to …

On the contingent capture account, top-down attentional control settings restrict involuntary
attentional capture to items that match the features of the search target. Attention capture is …

People can learn to ignore salient distractors that occur frequently at particular locations,
making them interfere less with task performance. This effect has been attributed to learnt …

We investigated body-related attentional biases in eating disorders by testing whether
individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN, n= 19) and bulimia nervosa (BN, n= 18) differ from …

One of the most widespread views in vision research is that top-down control over visual
selection is achieved by tuning attention to a particular feature value (eg, red/yellow) …

The current study investigated whether capture of the eyes by a salient onset distractor and
the disengagement of the eyes from that distractor are driven by the same or by different …
