This tutorial provides a selective review of research on object-based deployment of
attention. It focuses primarily on behavioral studies with human observers. The tutorial is …

This article begins with a description of space‐and object‐based guidance of attentional
selection. It goes on to discuss the most influential, two‐rectangle, paradigm for …

The authors investigated 2 effects of object-based attention: the spread of attention within an
attended object and the prioritization of search across possible target locations within an …

Abstract Perceptual load theory (Lavie, 2005) claims that attentional capacity that is not used
for the current task is allocated to irrelevant distractors. It predicts that if the attentional …

Selective attention might be space-, feature-, and/or object-based. Clear support for the
involvement of an object-based mechanism is rather scarce, possibly because the …

Attention operates to select both spatial locations and perceptual objects. However, the
specific mechanism by which attention is oriented to objects is not well understood. We …

The contribution of object-based attentional guidance to visual processing is widely
accepted, and recent models of attentional selection now include both space-and object …

Many studies have shown that increasing the number of neutral stimuli in a display
decreases distractor interference. This result has been interpreted within two different …

Previous studies have concluded that object-based attention does not always arise if
attention is cued endogenously (Macquistan, 1997) or if the target location is known with …

Over 30 years of research using Posner's spatial cueing paradigm has shown that selective
attention operates on representations of spatial locations, leading to space-based theories …
