Capacity limitations in template-guided multiple color search
Visual selection of target objects relies on representations of their known features in visual
working memory. These representations are referred to as attentional templates. We asked …

Contingent capture is weakened in search for multiple features from different dimensions.
Can observers maintain more than 1 attentional set and search for 2 features in parallel?
Previous studies that relied on attentional capture by irrelevant distractors to answer this …

Preparatory template activation during search for alternating targets
Visual search is guided by representations of target-defining features (attentional templates).
We tracked the time course of template activation processes during the preparation for …

The effect of lifeguard experience upon the detection of drowning victims in a realistic dynamic visual search task
V Laxton, D Crundall - Applied cognitive psychology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Lifeguard surveillance is a complex task that is crucial for swimmer safety, though few
studies of applied visual search have investigated this domain. This current study compared …

Priming of pop-out in the spatial-cueing paradigm
Searching for a unique target is faster when its unique feature repeats than when it changes.
The standard account for this priming-of-popout (PoP) phenomenon is that selecting a target …

Attentional capture by items that match episodic long-term memory representations
M Giammarco, A Paoletti, EB Guild… - Visual Cognition, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
ABSTRACT A remarkable ability of the human visual system is the implementation of
attentional control settings (ACSs) that govern what stimuli capture or hold attention. We …

The capacity limitations of multiple‐template visual search during task preparation and target selection
Visual search is guided by mental representations of target‐defining features (attentional
templates) that are activated in a preparatory fashion. It remains unknown how many …

[HTML][HTML] The Target-Defining Attributes Can Determine the Effects of Attentional Control Settings in Singleton Search Mode
Y Chen, J Wang, Z Miao, Y Jiang, X Wu - Behavioral Sciences, 2025 - mdpi.com
The attentional control settings (ACSs) can help us efficiently select targets in complex real-
world environments. Previous research has shown that category-specific ACS demands …

We can guide search by a set of colors, but are reluctant to do it
For some real-world color searches, the target colors are not precisely known, and any item
within a range of color values should be attended. Thus, a target representation that …
