While the visual environment contains massive amounts of information, we should not and
cannot pay attention to all events. Instead, we need to direct attention to those events that …

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 …

For over 25 years, researchers have debated whether physically salient stimuli capture
attention in an automatic manner, independent of the observer's goals, or whether the …

Researchers have long debated whether salient stimuli can involuntarily 'capture'visual
attention. We review here evidence for a recently discovered inhibitory mechanism that may …

Visual attention enables us to selectively prioritize or suppress information in the
environment. Prominent models concerned with the control of visual attention differentiate …

The present study investigated whether statistical regularities can influence visual selection.
We used the classic additional singleton task in which participants search for a salient shape …

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 & …

This paper reviews studies on eye movements in decision making, and compares their
observations to theoretical predictions concerning the role of attention in decision making …

Despite an initial focus on negative threatening stimuli, researchers have more recently
expanded the investigation of attentional biases toward positive rewarding stimuli. The …

Time is a universal psychological dimension, but time perception has often been studied
and discussed in relative isolation. Increasingly, researchers are searching for unifying …
