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 …

Visual search (VS) is a fundamental task in daily life widely studied for over half a century. A
variant of the classic paradigm—searching one target among distractors—requires the …

Goal-directed attentional control supports efficient visual search by prioritizing relevant
stimuli in the environment. Previous research has shown that goal-directed control can be …

Visual search tasks play a key role in theories of visual attention. But single-target search
tasks may provide only a snapshot of attentional orienting. Foraging tasks with multiple …

Studies suggest that familiar faces are processed in a manner distinct from unfamiliar faces
and that familiarity with a face confers an advantage in identity recognition. Our visual …

Traditional search tasks have taught us much about vision and attention. Recently, several
groups have begun to use multiple-target search to explore more complex and temporally …

Humans have the ability to rapidly extract summary statistics from object groupings through
a specific capability known as ensemble coding. Previous literature has reported that this …

In previous studies, we have used an iPad task to explore how humans “forage” through
static displays containing multiple targets from two categories. When demands on attention …

Much is known about the speed and accuracy of search in single-target search tasks, but
less attention has been devoted to understanding search in multiple-target foraging tasks …

Foraging entails finding multiple targets sequentially. In humans and other animals, a key
observation has been a tendency to forage in 'runs' of the same target type. This tendency is …
