The last ten years of attention research have witnessed a revolution, replacing a theoretical dichotomy (top-down vs. bottom-up control) with a trichotomy (biased by current goals …
Statistical learning (SL) is involved in a wide range of basic and higher-order cognitive functions and is taken to be an important building block of virtually all current theories of …
Researchers have long debated whether salient stimuli can involuntarily 'capture'visual attention. We review here evidence for a recently discovered inhibitory mechanism that may …
