An important mechanism used to selectively process relevant information in the environment is spatial attention. One fundamental way in which spatial attention is deployed is attentional …
Visual selection is imperfect; whenever a complex array of objects is processed, representations of multiple objects are likely to be active simultaneously. A full account of …

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 …
We proposed to abandon the item as conceptual unit in visual search and adopt a fixation- based framework instead. We treat various themes raised by our commentators, including …

Abstract Perceptual load theory (Lavie, 1995) claims that visual selection is determined both by the perceptual demands a display imposes and by the perceptual resources an observer …

Abstract Charles W. Eriksen (1923–2018), long-time editor of Perception & Psychophysics (1971–1993)–the precursor to the present journal–undoubtedly made a profound …
This study examined whether the recurrent difficulty to replicate results obtained with paradigms measuring distractor processing as a function of perceptual load is due to …
Much of the evidence for theories in visual search (including Hulleman & Olivers'[H&O's]) comes from inferences made using changes in mean RT as a function of the number of …

When studying visual search, item-based approaches using synthetic targets and distractors limit the real-world applicability of results. Everyday visual search can be impaired in …
