Attentional costs in multiple-object tracking

M Tombu, AE Seiffert - Cognition, 2008 - Elsevier
Attentional demands of multiple-object tracking were demonstrated using a dual-task
paradigm. Participants were asked to make speeded responses based on the pitch of a …

Speed has an effect on multiple-object tracking independently of the number of close encounters between targets and distractors

CS Feria - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2013 - Springer
Multiple-object tracking (MOT) studies have shown that tracking ability declines as object
speed increases. However, this might be attributed solely to the increased number of times …

Swapping or dropping? Electrophysiological measures of difficulty during multiple object tracking

T Drew, TS Horowitz, EK Vogel - Cognition, 2013 - Elsevier
In the multiple object tracking task, participants are asked to keep targets separate from
identical distractors as all items move randomly. It is well known that simple manipulations …

Spatial separation between targets constrains maintenance of attention on multiple objects

WM Shim, GA Alvarez, YV Jiang - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2008 - Springer
Humans are limited in their ability to maintain multiple attentional foci. In attentive tracking of
moving objects, performance declines as the number of tracked targets increases. Previous …

Studying visual attention using the multiple object tracking paradigm: A tutorial review

HS Meyerhoff, F Papenmeier, M Huff - Attention, Perception, & …, 2017 - Springer
Human observers are capable of tracking multiple objects among identical distractors based
only on their spatiotemporal information. Since the first report of this ability in the seminal …

Attentional enhancement during multiple-object tracking

T Drew, AW McCollough, TS Horowitz… - Psychonomic Bulletin & …, 2009 - Springer
What is the role of attention in multiple-object tracking? Does attention enhance target
representations, suppress distractor representations, or both? It is difficult to ask this …

What is a visual object? Evidence from target merging in multiple object tracking

BJ Scholl, ZW Pylyshyn, J Feldman - Cognition, 2001 - Elsevier
The notion that visual attention can operate over visual objects in addition to spatial
locations has recently received much empirical support, but there has been relatively little …

Some puzzling findings in multiple object tracking: I. Tracking without keeping track of object identities

Z Pylyshyn - Visual cognition, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
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 …

Tracking multiple targets with multifocal attention

P Cavanagh, GA Alvarez - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2005 - cell.com
Attention allows us to monitor objects or regions of visual space and select information from
them for report or storage. Classical theories of attention assumed a single focus of selection …

The effect of visual distinctiveness on multiple object tracking performance

PDL Howe, AO Holcombe - Frontiers in psychology, 2012 - frontiersin.org
Observers often need to attentively track moving objects. In everyday life, such objects are
often visually distinctive. Previous studies have shown that tracking accuracy is increased …
