Guided Search 6.0: An updated model of visual search

JM Wolfe - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2021 - Springer
Abstract This paper describes Guided Search 6.0 (GS6), a revised model of visual search.
When we encounter a scene, we can see something everywhere. However, we cannot …

Incorporating the properties of peripheral vision into theories of visual search

A Lleras, S Buetti, ZJ Xu - Nature Reviews Psychology, 2022 - nature.com
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 …

A target contrast signal theory of parallel processing in goal-directed search

A Lleras, Z Wang, GJP Ng, K Ballew, J Xu… - Attention, Perception, & …, 2020 - Springer
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 …

Top-down instructions influence the attentional weight on color and shape dimensions during bidimensional search

ZJ Xu, A Lleras, ZG Gong, S Buetti - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
Efficient searches are guided by target-distractor distinctiveness: the greater the
distinctiveness, the faster the search. Previous research showed that when the target and …

Temporal attention improves perception similarly at foveal and parafoveal locations

A Fernández, RN Denison, M Carrasco - Journal of vision, 2019 - jov.arvojournals.org
Temporal attention, the prioritization of information at a specific point in time, improves visual
performance, but it is unknown whether it does so to the same extent across the visual field …

Predicting how color and shape combine in the human visual system to direct attention

S Buetti, J Xu, A Lleras - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Bayesian multi-level modelling for predicting single and double feature visual search

AE Hughes, A Nowakowska, ADF Clarke - cortex, 2024 - Elsevier
Performance in visual search tasks is frequently summarised by “search slopes”-the
additional cost in reaction time for each additional distractor. While search tasks with a …

Encoding perceptual ensembles during visual search in peripheral vision

ÖD Tanrıkulu, A Chetverikov, Á Kristjánsson - Journal of Vision, 2020 - jov.arvojournals.org
Observers can learn complex statistical properties of visual ensembles, such as their
probability distributions. Even though ensemble encoding is considered critical for …

Predicting how surface texture and shape combine in the human visual system to direct attention

ZJ Xu, A Lleras, S Buetti - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
Abstract Objects differ from one another along a multitude of visual features. The more
distinct an object is from other objects in its surroundings, the easier it is to find it. However, it …

Distractor–distractor interactions in visual search for oriented targets explain the increased difficulty observed in nonlinearly separable conditions.

ZJ Xu, A Lleras, Y Shao, S Buetti - Journal of Experimental …, 2021 - psycnet.apa.org
The linear separability effect refers to a benefit in search performance observed in a feature-
search task, where target and distractor features vary along a continuous feature dimension …
