An important component of routine visual behavior is the ability to find one item in a visual
world filled with other, distracting items. This ability to perform visual search has been the …

Abstract This paper describes Guided Search 6.0 (GS6), a revised model of visual search.
When we encounter a scene, we can see something everywhere. However, we cannot …

Visual search is the act of looking for a predefined target among other objects. This task has
been widely used as an experimental paradigm to study visual attention, and because of its …

In studies of visual search, a general distinction is often made between the processes
involved when detection of a target is unaffected by the number of distractors in the field and …

Subjects searched sets of items for targets defined by conjunctions of color and form, color
and orientation, or color and size. Set size was varied and reaction times (RTs) were …

In visual search, observers try to find known target objects among distractors in visual
scenes where the location of the targets is uncertain. This review article discusses the …

Visual input is processed in parallel in the early stages of the visual system. Later, object
recognition processes are also massively parallel, matching a visual object with a vast array …

How does one find objects in scenes? For decades, visual search models have been built
on experiments in which observers search for targets, presented among distractor items …

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 …

The visual search paradigm has had an enormous impact in many fields. A theme running
through this literature has been the distinction between preattentive and attentive …
