Frings, Christian; Wentura, Dirk; Wuhr, Peter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Research on the topic of distractor inhibition has used different empirical approaches to study how the human mind selects relevant information from the environment, and the results are controversially discussed. One key question that typically arises is how selection deals with the irrelevant information. We used a new selection task, in which…

Wendt, Mike; Luna-Rodriguez, Aquiles; Jacobsen, Thomas – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
In a variety of conflict paradigms, target and distractor stimuli are defined in terms of perceptual features. Interference evoked by distractor stimuli tends to be reduced when the ratio of congruent to incongruent trials is decreased, suggesting conflict-induced perceptual filtering (i.e., adjusting the processing weights assigned to stimuli…

Risse, Sarah; Kliegl, Reinhold – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
During reading information is acquired from word(s) beyond the word that is currently looked at. It is still an open question whether such parafoveal information can influence the current viewing of a word, and if so, whether such parafoveal-on-foveal effects are attributable to distributed processing or to mislocated fixations which occur when…

Koch, Iring; Lawo, Vera; Fels, Janina; Vorlander, Michael – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Using a novel variant of dichotic selective listening, we examined the control of auditory selective attention. In our task, subjects had to respond selectively to one of two simultaneously presented auditory stimuli (number words), always spoken by a female and a male speaker, by performing a numerical size categorization. The gender of the…
