Mechanisms of contextual cueing: A tutorial review

CA Sisk, RW Remington, YV Jiang - Attention, Perception, & …, 2019 - Springer
Repeated contexts yield faster response time in visual search, compared with novel
contexts. This effect is known as contextual cueing. Despite extensive study over the past …

Contextual cueing of visual search reflects the acquisition of an optimal, one-for-all oculomotor scanning strategy

W Seitz, A Zinchenko, HJ Müller, T Geyer - Communications …, 2023 - nature.com
Visual search improves when a target is encountered repeatedly at a fixed location within a
stable distractor arrangement (spatial context), compared to non-repeated contexts. The …

Environmental regularities mitigate attentional misguidance in contextual cueing of visual search.

A Zinchenko, M Conci, HJ Müller… - Journal of Experimental …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Visual search is faster when a fixed target location is paired with a spatially invariant (vs.
randomly changing) distractor configuration, thus indicating that repeated contexts are …

Multisensory visuo-tactile context learning enhances the guidance of unisensory visual search

S Chen, Z Shi, HJ Müller, T Geyer - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
Does multisensory distractor-target context learning enhance visual search over and above
unisensory learning? To address this, we had participants perform a visual search task …

A secondary task is not always costly: Context‐based guidance of visual search survives interference from a demanding working memory task

E Annac, X Zang, HJ Müller… - British Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Repeatedly encountering a visual search display with the target located at a fixed position
relative to the distractors facilitates target detection, relative to novel displays–which is …

Modality-specific impacts of distractors on visual and auditory categorical decision-making: an evidence accumulation perspective

J Li, L Hua, SW Deng - Frontiers in Psychology, 2024 - frontiersin.org
Our brain constantly processes multisensory inputs to make decisions and guide behaviors,
but how goal-relevant processes are influenced by irrelevant information is unclear. Here …

Cross‐modal contextual memory guides selective attention in visual‐search tasks

S Chen, Z Shi, A Zinchenko, HJ Müller… - …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Visual search is speeded when a target item is positioned consistently within an invariant
(repeatedly encountered) configuration of distractor items (“contextual cueing”). Contextual …

Contextual cuing survives an interruption from an endogenous cue for attention

T Beesley, L Earl, H Butler, I Sharp, I Jaceviciute… - Attention, Perception, & …, 2024 - Springer
Three experiments explored how the repetition of a visual search display guides search
during contextual cuing under conditions in which the search process is interrupted by an …

The effect of gaze information associated with the search items on contextual cueing effect

X Liu, J Ma, G Zhao, HJ Sun - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2024 - Springer
Previous research on the mechanisms of contextual cueing effect has been inconsistent,
with some researchers showing that the contextual benefit was derived from the attentional …

C Wang, X Bai, Y Hui, C Song, G Zhao… - Attention, Perception, & …, 2020 - Springer
Searching for a target is faster in a repeated context compared to a new context, possibly
because the learned contextual information guides visual attention to the target location …
