The ability to remain focused on goal-relevant stimuli in the presence of potentially
interfering distractors is crucial for any coherent cognitive function. However, simply …

Selective attention allows us to ignore what is task-irrelevant and focus on what is task-
relevant. The cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie this process are key topics of …

Working memory (WM) is the set of mental processes holding limited information in a
temporarily accessible state in service of cognition. We provide a theoretical framework to …

The present paper provides a short critical review of the theory of perceptual load. It closely
examines the basic tenets and assumptions of the theory and identifies major conceptual …

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 …

The importance of social context in affecting attention has recently been highlighted by the
finding that the presence of a passive, nonevaluative confederate can improve selective …

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 …

摘要知觉负载理论被认为解决了选择性注意研究的早选择和晚选择观点之争.
当前任务对注意资源的耗用程度决定了与任务无关的干扰刺激得到多少加工 …

Little is known about the neural mechanisms that control attentional modulation of deviance
detection in the auditory modality. In this study, we manipulated the difficulty of a primary …

Background People exhibit increased difficulty balancing when they perform secondary
attention-distracting tasks while walking. However, a previous study by Grabiner and Troy (J …
