Biasing allocations of attention via selective weighting of saliency signals: Behavioral and neuroimaging evidence for the dimension-weighting account

HR Liesefeld, AM Liesefeld, S Pollmann… - Processes of visuospatial …, 2019 - Springer
Abstract Objects that stand out from the environment tend to be of behavioral relevance, and
the visual system is tuned to preferably process these salient objects by allocating focused …

A theoretical attempt to revive the serial/parallel-search dichotomy

HR Liesefeld, HJ Müller - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2020 - Springer
A core distinction in Anne Treisman's feature-integration theory (FIT) is in that between
parallel and serial search. We outline this dichotomy and selectively review the reasons why …

Learning to suppress likely distractor locations in visual search is driven by the local distractor frequency.

F Allenmark, B Zhang, Z Shi… - Journal of experimental …, 2022 - psycnet.apa.org
Salient but task-irrelevant distractors interfere less with visual search when they appear in a
display region where distractors have appeared more frequently in the past (“distractor …

Building Bridges: Visual Search Meets Action Control via Inter-Trial Sequence Effects

D Lamy, C Frings, HR Liesefeld - Review of General …, 2024 - journals.sagepub.com
What we have attended to in the past, as well as the stimulus context associated with past
motor responses, have a strong impact on our current behavior. These influences have been …

Long‐term (statistically learnt) and short‐term (inter‐trial) distractor‐location effects arise at different pre‐and post‐selective processing stages

N Qiu, B Zhang, F Allenmark, J Nasemann… - …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
A salient distractor interferes less with visual search if it appears at a location where it is
likely to occur, referred to as distractor‐location probability cueing. Conversely, if the current …

Multisensory visuo-tactile context learning enhances the guidance of unisensory visual search

S Chen, Z Shi, HJ Müller, T Geyer - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
Does multisensory distractor-target context learning enhance visual search over and above
unisensory learning? To address this, we had participants perform a visual search task …

Inter-trial effects in priming of pop-out: Comparison of computational updating models

F Allenmark, A Gokce, T Geyer… - PLoS computational …, 2021 - journals.plos.org
In visual search tasks, repeating features or the position of the target results in faster
response times. Such inter-trial 'priming'effects occur not just for repetitions from the …

[HTML][HTML] Learning regular cross-trial shifts of the target location in serial search involves awareness–An eye-tracking study

H Yu, F Allenmark, HJ Müller, Z Shi - Cognition, 2025 - Elsevier
People can learn and use both static and dynamic (cross-trial) regularities in the positioning
of target items during parallel,'pop-out'visual search. Static target-location learning also …

Neural activity tracking identity and confidence in social information

N Trudel, PL Lockwood, MFS Rushworth, MK Wittmann - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Humans learn about the environment either directly by interacting with it or indirectly by
seeking information about it from social sources such as conspecifics. The degree of …

When do response-related episodic retrieval effects co-occur with inhibition of return?

MD Hilchey, J Rajsic, J Pratt - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2020 - Springer
At some point, spatial priming effects more faithfully reflect response selection processes
than they do attentional orienting or sensory processes. Findings from the spatial cueing …
