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 …

Most research on mind-wandering has characterized it as a mental state with contents that
are task unrelated or stimulus independent. However, the dynamics of mind-wandering …

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 …

Researchers have long debated whether attentional capture is purely stimulus driven or
purely goal driven. In the current study, we tested a hybrid account, called the signal …

In visual search tasks, observers look for targets among distractors. In the lab, this often
takes the form of multiple searches for a simple shape that may or may not be present …

The present paper argues for the notion that when attention is spread across the visual field
in the first sweep of information through the brain visual selection is completely stimulus …

A study that goes beyond the debate over functional specialization to describe the ways that
emotion and cognition interact and are integrated in the brain. The idea that a specific brain …

For more than 2 decades, researchers have debated the nature of cognitive control in the
guidance of visual attention. Stimulus-driven theories claim that salient stimuli automatically …

Survival can depend on the ability to change a current course of action to respond to
potentially advantageous or threatening stimuli. This" reorienting" response involves the …
