Visual search is the act of looking for a predefined target among other objects. This task has
been widely used as an experimental paradigm to study visual attention, and because of its …

Background: Computer-based tests are widely used for the purpose of documenting
baseline neurocognitive function, and athletes are often tested in groups. At present, there is …

Is object-based attention mandatory or under strategic control? In an adapted spatial cuing
paradigm, participants focused initially on a central arrow cue that was part of a perceptual …

Previous research has shown spontaneous location processing when location is not a task
relevant feature and when a target is presented together with distractors. The present study …

Theories of human emotion, including some emotion embodiment theories, suggest that our
moods and affective states are reflected in the movements of our bodies. We used the …

The backward-compatibility effect (BCE) is a major index of parallel processing in dual tasks
and is related to the dependency of Task 1 performance on Task 2 response codes …

Attention to one feature of an object can bias the processing of unattended features of that
object. Here we demonstrate with ERPs in visual search that this object-based bias for an …

Subjective feedback about distractions or problems encountered during computerized
assessment was provided by 538 out of a pool of 1659 high-school athletes who completed …

Although the effect of working memory (WM) load on the degree of distractor processing has
been investigated in a number of paradigms, a common feature in prior research is that the …

Directing attention to a specific feature of an object has been linked to different forms of
attentional modulation. Object-based attention theory founds on the finding that even task …
