The generality of the attentional boost effect for famous, unfamiliar, and inverted faces
Familiarity and face inversion not only affect face recognition and memory but also influence attention. Face processing is less attention-demanding...
-
The attentional boost effect in free recall dynamics
With the attentional boost effect (ABE), responding to a briefly presented target in a detection task enhances the encoding of other items presented...
-
The attentional boost effect facilitates visual category learning
Increasing evidence has shown that summary visual statistics, such as the mean size or centroid of locations, can be perceived without focal...
-
The effects of the detection stimulus duration on the persistence of the attentional boost effect
According to the attentional boost effect (ABE), detecting a target in a dual-task paradigm can facilitate memory encoding of concurrently presented...
-
The attentional boost effect facilitates the encoding of contextual details: New evidence with verbal materials and a modified recognition task
In the attentional boost effect (ABE), words or images encoded with to-be-responded targets are later recalled better than words or images encoded...
-
Cross-modal enhancement of spatially unpredictable visual target discrimination during the attentional blink
The attentional blink can be substantially reduced by delivering a task-irrelevant sound synchronously with the second target (T2) embedded in a...
-
The regulation of target salience on preschool children’s top-down attentional control
Adults excel at exerting top-down control to avoid distractions from salient-but-irrelevant stimuli, allowing them to produce the attentional boost...
-
Task-irrelevant valence-preferred colors boost visual search for a singleton-shape target
Some studies have suggested that emotion-associated features might influence attentional capture. However, demonstrating valence-dependent distractor...
-
Attentional economics links value-modulated attentional capture and decision-making
Effective decision-making involves multiple steps to reduce a nearly limitless set of available choices to a final selection. The attention system...

The improvement of attentional bias in individuals with problematic smartphone use through cognitive reappraisal: an eye-tracking study
Attentional bias toward smartphone-related stimuli can intensify Problematic Smartphone Use (PSU) behaviors. The main objective of this study was to...
-
Temporal integration of target features across and within trials in the attentional blink
Attentional blink research has typically investigated attentional limitations in multiple target processing. The current study investigated the...
-
The early attentional pancake: Minimal selection in depth for rapid attentional cueing
There have been conflicting findings on the degree to which rapidly deployed visual attention is selective for depth, and this issue has important...

Why does the probe value effect emerge in working memory? Examining the biased attentional refreshing account
People are able to prioritize more valuable information in working memory. The current study examined whether this value effect is due to the items...
-
When negative affect drives attentional control: The role of motivational orientation
According to recent theorizing, cognitive control and affective processing are closely linked. Specifically, it has been suggested that negative...
-
Attentional suppression of dynamic versus static salient distractors
Attention must be carefully controlled to avoid distraction by salient stimuli. The signal suppression hypothesis proposes that salient stimuli can...
-
Differences in the duration of the attentional blink when viewing nature vs. urban scenes
The current study examined how viewing nature vs. urban scenes impacts the duration of the attentional blink. Nature scenes produce a broader...
-
Pay attention and you might miss it: Greater learning during attentional lapses
Attentional lapses have been found to impair everything from basic perception to learning and memory. Yet, despite the well-documented costs of...
-
First target timing influences the attentional blink under low, but not high working memory load
A growing literature posits attention as a core component of working memory (Baddeley, European Psychologist, 7 (2), 85-97,
2002 ), yet research...
-
Spatial task relevance modulates value-driven attentional capture
Attention tends to be attracted to visual features previously associated with reward. To date, nearly all existing studies examined value-associated...

The effect of target detection on memory retrieval
Attention and memory are fundamental cognitive processes that closely interact. In the attentional boost effect (ABE), the stimuli that co-occur with...
