Failures of perception in the low-prevalence effect: Evidence from active and passive visual search.
In visual search, rare targets are missed disproportionately often. This low-prevalence effect
(LPE) is a robust problem with demonstrable societal consequences. What is the source of …

The cost of search for multiple targets: effects of practice and target similarity.
With the use of X-ray images, performance in the simultaneous search for two target
categories was compared with performance in two independent searches, one for each …

Using eye movements to understand how security screeners search for threats in x-ray baggage
There has been an increasing drive to understand failures in searches for weapons and
explosives in X-ray baggage screening. Tracking eye movements during the search has …

Dual-target search for high and low prevalence X-ray threat targets
Recent studies have shown that the prevalence of target presentation in visual search has
an impact on target detection rates, and also that searching for two targets leads to a …

A little bit of history repeating: Splitting up multiple-target visual searches decreases second-target miss errors.
Visual searches with several targets in a display have been shown to be particularly prone
to miss errors in both academic laboratory searches and professional searches such as …

Faster than the speed of rejection: Object identification processes during visual search for multiple targets.
When engaged in a visual search for two targets, participants are slower and less accurate
in their responses, relative to their performance when searching for singular targets …

Visual search in a multi-element asynchronous dynamic (MAD) world.
In visual search tasks participants search for a target among distractors in strictly controlled
displays. We show that visual search principles observed in these tasks do not necessarily …
