Formal theories of attention based on similarity-choice theory and signal-detection theory
are reviewed to document cumulative progress in theoretical understanding of attention from …

The authors present a theory of stochastic interactive parallel processing with special
emphasis on channel interactions and their relation to system capacity. The approach is …

The deployment of spatial attention induces retinotopically specific increases in neural
activity that occur even before a target stimulus is presented. Although this preparatory …

Mask-dependent cuing effects, like those previously found in yes–no detection, were found
in a task in which observers judged the orientations of orthogonally-oriented Gabor patches …

This observational study of plaza-user behavior in San Francisco is intended first to
determine whether behavior is invariant across different microclimatic regimes. Statistical …

What is learned during perceptual learning? We address this question by analyzing how
perceptual inefficiencies improve over the course of perceptual learning (Dosher & Lu …

This study investigated the influence of spatial cueing (valid/invalid/no cue) on visual
discrimination in human and non-human primates. We employed a spatial resolution task …

We used an interference paradigm to investigate whether attention is attribute-specific at
early levels of visual processing. We show that the peripheral increment thresholds for …

Processing capacity—defined as the relative ability to perform mental work in a unit of time—
is a critical construct in cognitive psychology and is central to theories of visual attention. The …

The ability to locate an object in the visual field is a collaboration of at least three
intermingled processes: scanning multiple locations, recognizing the object sought (the …
