Visual selective attention is the brain function that modulates ongoing processing of retinal
input in order for selected representations to gain privileged access to perceptual …

Negative priming has traditionally been viewed as a reflection of an inhibitory mechanism of
attention. However, recent accounts have suggested that negative priming does not reflect …

Understanding of the factors that influence stimulus-response (SR) compatibility and
determine when and how compatibility effects will arise is a necessary foundation for …

Outcomes of actions, in the form of rewards and punishments, are known to shape behavior.
For example, an action followed by reward will be more readily elicited on subsequent …

Subjects identified target letters flanked by incompatible distractor letters (eg, ABA).
Distractor onset was randomly simultaneous with target onset or was delayed by 400 ms. In …

Negative priming (NP) effects from irrelevant distractors were assessed as a function of
perceptual load in the processing of prime targets. Participants searched for a target letter …

Three experiments examined whether negative priming is a dually determined effect
produced by inhibitory mechanisms and by a memorial process. Younger adults …

The study examined performance of 6‐to 11‐year‐old children, from gifted and mainstream
academic programs, on measures of mental‐attentional capacity, cognitive inhibition, and …

We describe a neural network system that models selective action—that is, how an organism
selectively responds to an object when other objects evoke competing responses …

The inhibition of responses to interfering stimuli in a trial results in longer reaction times in
the following trial in which to‐be‐ignored stimuli become targets. This is due to the fact that …
