The present paper argues for the notion that when attention is spread across the visual field
in the first sweep of information through the brain visual selection is completely stimulus …

Although in traditional attention research the focus of visual spatial attention has been
considered as indivisible, many studies in the last 15 years have claimed the contrary …

In 7 experiments, the authors explored whether visual attention (the ability to select relevant
visual information) and visual working memory (the ability to retain relevant visual …

What does inhibition in psychology mean? Most psychologists have presupposed that its
meaning in psychology is practically the same as in physiology. They begin with illustrations …

Observers find a target item more quickly when they have foreknowledge of target-defining
attributes, such as identity, color, or location. However, it is less clear whether …

The task of tracking a small number (about four or five) visual targets within a larger set of
identical items, each of which moves randomly and independently, has been used …

Previous research using a spatial cuing paradigm in which a distractor cue preceded the
target has shown that new objects presented with abrupt onsets only capture attention when …

Visual search is a key paradigm in attention research that has proved to be a test bed for
competing theories of selective attention. The starting point for most current theories of visual …

We present three studies examining whether multiple object tracking (MOT) benefits from the
active inhibition of nontargets, as proposed in Pylyshyn (2004, Visual Cognition). Using a …

The visual system uses several tools to select only the most relevant visual information for
further processing, including selection by location. In the present study, the authors explored …
