Irons, Jessica L.; Folk, Charles L.; Remington, Roger W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Although models of visual search have often assumed that attention can only be set for a single feature or property at a time, recent studies have suggested that it may be possible to maintain more than one attentional control setting. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether spatial attention could be guided by multiple attentional…

Sewell, David K.; Smith, Philip L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
The attention literature distinguishes two general mechanisms by which attention can benefit performance: gain (or resource) models and orienting (or switching) models. In gain models, processing efficiency is a function of a spatial distribution of capacity or resources; in orienting models, an attentional spotlight must be aligned with the…

Zehetleitner, Michael; Goschy, Harriet; Muller, Hermann J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
When searching for a "pop-out" target, interference from a salient but irrelevant distractor can be reduced or even prevented under certain circumstances. Here, five experiments were conducted to further our understanding of three different aspects of top-down interference reduction: first, whether or not qualitatively different search modes can…

Lee, Hyunkyu; Mozer, Michael C.; Kramer, Arthur F.; Vecera, Shaun P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
How is attention guided by past experience? In visual search, numerous studies have shown that recent trials influence responses to the current trial. Repeating features such as color, shape, or location of a target facilitates performance. Here we examine whether recent experience also modulates a more abstract dimension of attentional control,…

Burnham, Bryan R.; Neely, James H.; Naginsky, Yelena; Thomas, Matthew – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
After C. L. Folk, R. W. Remington, and J. C. Johnston (1992) proposed their contingent-orienting hypothesis, there has been an ongoing debate over whether purely stimulus-driven attentional capture can occur for visual events that are salient by virtue of a distinctive static property (as opposed to a dynamic property such as abrupt onset). The…

Becker, Stefanie I.; Folk, Charles L.; Remington, Roger W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
On the contingent capture account, top-down attentional control settings restrict involuntary attentional capture to items that match the features of the search target. Attention capture is involuntary, but contingent on goals and intentions. The observation that only target-similar items can capture attention has usually been taken to show that…

Prinzmetal, William; Ha, Ruby; Khani, Aniss – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
We tested 3 mechanisms of involuntary attention: (1) a perceptual enhancement mechanism, (2) a response-decision mechanism, and (3) a serial-search mechanism. Experiment 1 used a response deadline technique to compare the perceptual enhancement and the decision mechanisms and found evidence consistent with the decision mechanism. Experiment 2 used…

Flevaris, Anastasia V.; Bentin, Shlomo; Robertson, Lynn C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Ample evidence suggests that global perception may involve low spatial frequency (LSF) processing and that local perception may involve high spatial frequency (HSF) processing (Shulman, Sullivan, Gish, & Sakoda, 1986; Shulman & Wilson, 1987; Robertson, 1996). It is debated whether SF selection is a low-level mechanism associating global…

Chao, Hsuan-Fu – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
The current study investigated attentional control through active inhibition of the identity of the distractor. Adapting a Stroop paradigm, the distractor word was presented in advance and made to disappear, followed by the presentation of a Stroop stimulus. Participants were instructed to inhibit the distractor in order to reduce its…

Chao, Hsuan-Fu – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
This study investigated the active inhibition of precued distractor locations. In this study, the distractor location was precued by an arrow. Experiment 1 indicated that a valid precue could facilitate target localization. Experiment 2 demonstrated that when conflict trials were included, the distractor precue benefit was eliminated. Experiment 3…

Leblanc, Emilie; Jolicoeur, Pierre – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Previous research on the control of visuospatial attention showed that overlearned symbols like arrows have the potential to induce involuntary shifts of attention. Following work on the role of attentional control settings and of the content of working memory in the involuntary deployment of visuospatial attention, Pratt and Hommel (2003) found…

Lien, Mei-Ching; Ruthruff, Eric; Goodin, Zachary; Remington, Roger W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2008
Theories of attentional control are divided over whether the capture of spatial attention depends primarily on stimulus salience or is contingent on attentional control settings induced by task demands. The authors addressed this issue using the N2-posterior-contralateral (N2pc) effect, a component of the event-related brain potential thought to…

Santangelo, Valerio; Spence, Charles – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
We compared the ability of auditory, visual, and audiovisual (bimodal) exogenous cues to capture visuo-spatial attention under conditions of no load versus high perceptual load. Participants had to discriminate the elevation (up vs. down) of visual targets preceded by either unimodal or bimodal cues under conditions of high perceptual load (in…

Stolz, Jennifer A.; Stevanovski, Biljana – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2004
Two lexical-decision experiments investigated the effects of semantic priming and stimulus intensity when target location varied and was cued by an abrupt onset. In Experiment 1, the spatial cue was a good predictor of target location, and in Experiment 2 it was not. The results indicate that word recognition processes were postponed until spatial…

Lamy, Dominique; Leber, Andrew; Egeth, Howard E – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2004
Attentional allocation in feature-search mode (W. F. Bacon & H. E. Egeth, 1994) is thought to be solely determined by top-down factors, with no role for stimulus-driven salience. The authors reassessed this conclusion using variants of the spatial cuing and rapid serial visual presentation paradigms developed by C. L. Folk and colleagues (C. L.…
