Changing the speed and order of attentional selection in visual search
Seminal event-related potential (ERP) studies of visual search reported that young adults serially inspect two singletons when searching for a target (serial search), but later results showed that the second singleton can be selected while the first singleton is still attended (partially parallel search). These contrasting results indicate that some yet-to-be identified factor can affect the speed of search. We hypothesized that single-target det…
Difficulty suppressing visual distraction while dual tasking
Human beings must often perform multiple tasks concurrently or in rapid succession. Laboratory research has revealed striking limitations in the ability to dual task by asking participants to identify two target objects that are inserted into a rapid stream of irrelevant items. Under a variety of conditions, identification of the second target (T2) is impaired for a short period of time following presentation of the first target (T1). Several the…
