Incorporating the properties of peripheral vision into theories of visual search
People often look for objects in their immediate environment, a behaviour known as visual
search. Most of the visual signals used during search come from peripheral vision, outside …

Towards a better understanding of parallel visual processing in human vision: Evidence for exhaustive analysis of visual information.
Most current models of visual processing propose that there are 2 main stages of visual
processing, the first consisting of a parallel visual analysis of the scene and the second …

Distractor probability changes the shape of the attentional template.
Theories of attention commonly refer to the “attentional template” as the collection of features
in working memory that represent the target of visual search. Many models of attention …

The attentional template is shifted and asymmetrically sharpened by distractor context.
Theories of attention hypothesize the existence of an “attentional template” that contains
target features in working or long-term memory. It is often assumed that the template …

Designing an adaptive interface: Using eye tracking to classify how information usage changes over time in partially automated vehicles
While partially automated vehicles can provide a range of benefits, they also bring about
new Human Machine Interface (HMI) challenges around ensuring the driver remains alert …

A target contrast signal theory of parallel processing in goal-directed search
Abstract Feature Integration Theory (FIT) set out the groundwork for much of the work in
visual cognition since its publication. One of the most important legacies of this theory has …

The long and the short of priming in visual search
Memory affects visual search, as is particularly evident from findings that when target
features are repeated from one trial to the next, selection is faster. Two views have emerged …

The attentional template in high and low similarity search: Optimal tuning or tuning to relations?
Z Hamblin-Frohman, SI Becker - Cognition, 2021 - Elsevier
The attentional template is often described as the mental representation that drives
attentional selection and guidance, for instance, in visual search. Recent research suggests …

Predicting how color and shape combine in the human visual system to direct attention
Abstract Objects in a scene can be distinct from one another along a multitude of visual
attributes, such as color and shape, and the more distinct an object is from its surroundings …
