This effect is reduced as target–distractor distance increases, and it is eliminated entirely at …

Sudden changes of visual stimulation attract attention. The observer's body motion
generates retinal-flow field patterns containing information about his/her own speed and …

The attentional cuing effects in detection and some discrimination tasks depend on the use
of backward masks and on the presence of external noise in the display. These effects have …

In this study, a novel version of the spatial cuing paradigm is used to directly compare 100%
valid, spatial and non-spatial symbolic cues. A variety of setup times, SOAs, and target …

The world is big, and our brains are small. Attention helps us filter the torrent of information
in our visual world into smaller, more comprehensible bits of information. How does attention …
