Not all attention orienting is created equal: Recognition memory is enhanced when attention orienting involves distractor suppression

J Markant, MS Worden, D Amso - Neurobiology of learning and memory, 2015 - Elsevier
Learning through visual exploration often requires orienting of attention to meaningful
information in a cluttered world. Previous work has shown that attention modulates visual …

[HTML][HTML] From shunting inhibition to dynamic normalization: Attentional selection and decision-making in brief visual displays

PL Smith, DK Sewell, SD Lilburn - Vision Research, 2015 - Elsevier
Normalization models of visual sensitivity assume that the response of a visual mechanism
is scaled divisively by the sum of the activity in the excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms in …

[HTML][HTML] Decoding covert shifts of attention induced by ambiguous visuospatial cues

RE Trachel, M Clerc, TG Brochier - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
