Semantic relatedness can impair memory for item locations
While memory for semantically related items is improved over unrelated items in many cases, relatedness can also lead to memory costs. Here we...

Phasic pupillary responses modulate object-based attentional prioritization
Visual attention studies have demonstrated that the shape of space-based selection can be governed by salient object contours: when a portion of an...

Feature-based attentional control for distractor suppression
To investigate whether attentional suppression is merely a byproduct of target facilitation or a result of independent mechanisms for distractor...

Limitations on flexible allocation of visual short-term memory resources with multiple levels of goal-directed attentional prioritization
Studies suggest that visual short-term memory (VSTM) is a continuous resource that can be flexibly allocated using probabilistic cues that indicate...
-
Spatial transfer of object-based statistical learning
A large number of recent studies have demonstrated that efficient attentional selection depends to a large extent on the ability to extract...

Exploring the temporal dynamics of inhibition of return using steady-state visual evoked potentials
Inhibition of return is characterized by delayed responses to previously attended locations when the interval between stimuli is long enough. The...

Internal attention is the only retroactive mechanism for controlling precision in working memory
Recent research has suggested that humans can assert control over the precision of working memory (WM) items. However, the mechanisms that enable...

Cueing natural event boundaries improves memory in people with post-traumatic stress disorder
People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often report difficulty remembering information in their everyday lives. Recent findings suggest...

The Architecture of Object-Based Attention
The allocation of attention to objects raises several intriguing questions: What are objects, how does attention access them, what anatomical regions...
-
Object-based attention requires monocular visual pathways
Mechanisms of object-based attention (OBA) are commonly associated with the cerebral cortex. However, less is known about the involvement of...

Novel tests of capture by irrelevant abrupt onsets: No evidence for a mediating role of search task difficulty during color search
According to the attentional dwelling hypothesis, task-irrelevant abrupt-onset cues capture attention in a stimulus-driven way by eliciting spatial...

Motion or sociality? The cueing effect and temporal course of autistic traits on gaze-triggered attention
Gaze-triggered attention changes have been found in individuals with high autistic traits in the nonclinical population. However, gaze cues used in...

Attention to space and time: Independent or interactive systems? A narrative review
While there is ample evidence for the ability to selectively attend to where in space and when in time a relevant event might occur, it remains...
-
A finer-grained search reveals no evidence of the attentional capture by to-be-ignored features
The contingent capture account of involuntary attention claims that it is guided by top-down factors, such as volitional goals or task instructions....
-
Levels of neuroticism can predict attentional performance during cross-modal nonspatial repetition inhibition
Inhibition of return (IOR) refers to the slower response to targets presented at previously attended locations, and such repetition-induced...
-
The cost of divided attention for detection of simple visual features primarily reflects limits in post-perceptual processing
Covert spatial attention allows us to prioritize processing at relevant locations. Perception is generally poorer when attention is distributed...

Does gaze direction of fearful faces facilitate the processing of threat? An ERP study of spatial precuing effects
Eye gaze is very important for attentional orienting in social life. By adopting the event-related potential (ERP) technique, we explored whether...
-
Spatial enhancement due to statistical learning tracks the estimated spatial probability
It is well known that attentional selection is sensitive to the regularities presented in the display. In the current study we employed the...

Effect of peri-hand space among users of a familiar tool: more attention enhancement in space near palm than dorsal side of hand
Peri-hand space (PHS) can be extended to space near tools used in everyday life, indicating that the space near the functional area of a tool...

Object-based attention generalizes to multisurface objects
When a part of an object is cued, targets presented in other locations on the same object are detected more rapidly and accurately than are targets...
