Selection history: How reward modulates selectivity of visual attention

M Failing, J Theeuwes - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2018 - Springer
Visual attention enables us to selectively prioritize or suppress information in the
environment. Prominent models concerned with the control of visual attention differentiate …

[HTML][HTML] Visual selection: Usually fast and automatic; seldom slow and volitional

J Theeuwes - Journal of cognition, 2018 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Recently it was argued that in addition to top-down and bottom-up processes, lingering
biases of selection history play a major role in visual selection (Awh, Belopolsky & …

[HTML][HTML] Top–down and bottom–up control of visual selection

J Theeuwes - Acta psychologica, 2010 - Elsevier
The present paper argues for the notion that when attention is spread across the visual field
in the first sweep of information through the brain visual selection is completely stimulus …

Strategic distractor suppression improves selective control in human vision

W Van Zoest, C Huber-Huber, MD Weaver… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
Our visual environment is complicated, and our cognitive capacity is limited. As a result, we
must strategically ignore some stimuli to prioritize others. Common sense suggests that …

Attentional capture and control

J Theeuwes - Annual Review of Psychology, 2024 - annualreviews.org
The current review presents an integrated tripartite framework for understanding attentional
control, emphasizing the interaction and competition among top-down, bottom-up, and …

Template-to-distractor distinctiveness regulates visual search efficiency

JJ Geng, P Witkowski - Current opinion in psychology, 2019 - Elsevier
Highlights•The attentional template encodes information about the target and is held in
working or long-term memory.•The attentional template does not contain a veridical copy of …

A temporal dependency account of attentional inhibition in oculomotor control

MD Weaver, W van Zoest, C Hickey - NeuroImage, 2017 - Elsevier
We used concurrent electroencephalogram (EEG) and eye tracking to investigate the role of
covert attentional mechanisms in the control of oculomotor behavior. Human participants …

Oculomotor capture by stimuli that signal the availability of reward

M Failing, T Nissens, D Pearson… - Journal of …, 2015 - journals.physiology.org
It is well known that eye movement patterns are influenced by both goal-and salience-driven
factors. Recent studies, however, have demonstrated that objects that are nonsalient and …

Visual working memory modulates rapid eye movements to simple onset targets

A Hollingworth, M Matsukura… - Psychological …, 2013 - journals.sagepub.com
Representations in visual working memory (VWM) influence attention and gaze control in
complex tasks, such as visual search, that require top-down selection to resolve stimulus …

Statistical regularities bias overt attention

B Wang, I Samara, J Theeuwes - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2019 - Springer
A previous study employing the additional singleton paradigm showed that a singleton
distractor that appeared more often in one specific location interfered less with target search …
