A recently reported phenomenon, termed attribute amnesia, challenged the commonly held
belief that attention plays the determining role in controlling how information is remembered …

Abstract Objects can be characterized by a number of properties (eg, shape, color, size, and
location). How do our visual systems combine this information, and what allows us to …

Previous research has shown spontaneous location processing when location is not a task
relevant feature and when a target is presented together with distractors. The present study …

Although the effect of working memory (WM) load on the degree of distractor processing has
been investigated in a number of paradigms, a common feature in prior research is that the …

Abstract The Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique (HEART) was created at a
time when there was no publicly-accessible Internet, no easily-searched databases and, in …

What happens after visual attention is allocated to an object? Although many theories of
attention assume that all of its features are selected and processed, there has been little …

Four experiments explore the generalizability of two different types of bias in visual
comparison. The first type is a spatial congruency bias, in which two target stimuli are more …

In order to explore the selective attention mechanism and the dual-task information-
processing model, two experiments were carried out involving a visual search task and a …

Experimental evidence has given strong support to the theory that the primary visual cortex
(V1) realizes a bottom–up saliency map (AR Koene & L. Zhaoping, 2007; Z. Li, 2002; L …

A growing body of research indicates that the limit in instant conscious awareness, or the
unit of access, for some object features such as color, orientation, and direction of motion is …
