Pseudoneglect during object search in naturalistic scenes

A Nuthmann, CNL Clark - Experimental brain research, 2023 - Springer
Pseudoneglect, that is the tendency to pay more attention to the left side of space, is typically
assessed with paper-and-pencil tasks, particularly line bisection. In the present study, we …

Magnitude of sex differences in visual search varies with target eccentricity

MCW English, MT Maybery, TAW Visser - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021 - Springer
A recent meta-analysis found no support for the popular theory that superior visuospatial
ability in males is attributable to their relatively greater hemispheric asymmetry of neural …

Everything is illuminated: Prismatic adaptation lowers visual detection threshold in normal subjects.

I Ronga, P Sarasso, C Fossataro… - Journal of …, 2018 - psycnet.apa.org
Prismatic adaptation (PA) results from repeated ballistic movements of the dominant arm
toward visual targets while wearing prisms shifting the visual field laterally (visuomotor …

Functional size of human visual area V1: A neural correlate of top–down attention

A Verghese, SC Kolbe, AJ Anderson, GF Egan… - Neuroimage, 2014 - Elsevier
Heavy demands are placed on the brain's attentional capacity when selecting a target item
in a cluttered visual scene, or when reading. It is widely accepted that such attentional …

Smartphones and rightward collisions

M Okubo - Laterality, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
People tend to deviate to the right when walking through a narrow aperture (eg, a doorway),
resulting in a rightward bias in collisions. This study examines the effects of smartphone use …

[HTML][HTML] Covert visual search within and beyond the effective oculomotor range

DT Smith, K Ball, A Ellison - Vision Research, 2014 - Elsevier
Covert spatial attention is tightly coupled to the eye-movement system, but the precise
nature of this coupling remains contentious. Recent research has argued that covert …

An investigation of the mechanisms underlying the effects of viewing distance and stimulus length on attentional asymmetries during line bisection

MER Nicholls, E Beckman, O Churches - Attention, Perception, & …, 2016 - Springer
Clinical neglect patients overattend to stimuli on their right, whereas the general population
overattend to the left (pseudoneglect). Both phenomena are affected by viewing distance …

Close to me: the effect of asymmetrical environments on spatial attention

MER Nicholls, S Roden, NA Thomas, T Loetscher… - Ergonomics, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
Attention can be captured by distractors and can affect performance. To examine whether
asymmetrical distractors, such as a wall, affect spatial attention, Experiment 1 required …

Stronger interference from distractors in the right hemifield during visual search

C Carlei, D Kerzel - Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and …, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
The orientation-bias hypothesis states that there is a bias to attend to the right visual
hemifield (RVF) when there is spatial competition between stimuli in the left and right …

Task set induces dynamic reallocation of resources in visual short-term memory

SL Sheremata, S Shomstein - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2017 - Springer
Successful interaction with the environment requires the ability to flexibly allocate resources
to different locations in the visual field. Recent evidence suggests that visual short-term …
