Harris, Irina M.; Benito, Claire T.; Dux, Paul E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
We investigated distractor processing in a dual-target rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task containing familiar objects, by measuring repetition priming from a priming distractor (PD) to Target 2 (T2). Priming from a visually identical PD was contrasted with priming from a PD in a different orientation from T2. We also tested the effect of…

Gilden, David L.; Thornton, Thomas L.; Marusich, Laura R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
The conditions for serial search are described. A multiple target search methodology (Thornton & Gilden, 2007) is used to home in on the simplest target/distractor contrast that effectively mandates a serial scheduling of attentional resources. It is found that serial search is required when (a) targets and distractors are mirror twins, and…

Elder, David M.; Grossberg, Stephen; Mingolla, Ennio – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
A neural model is developed to explain how humans can approach a goal object on foot while steering around obstacles to avoid collisions in a cluttered environment. The model uses optic flow from a 3-dimensional virtual reality environment to determine the position of objects on the basis of motion discontinuities and computes heading direction,…
