Direct linkOlivers, Christian N. L.; Meijer, Frank; Theeuwes, Jan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
In 7 experiments, the authors explored whether visual attention (the ability to select relevant visual information) and visual working memory (the ability to retain relevant visual information) share the same content representations. The presence of singleton distractors interfered more strongly with a visual search task when it was accompanied by…

Peer reviewedRose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F. – Developmental Psychology, 1987
Examined the stability of two aspects of infant visual attention derived from the paired-comparison procedure in infants tested at 6, 7, and 8 months of age. The two aspects were novelty preference and exposure time. Suggests that both novelty and exposure-time scores reflect moderately stable but independent characteristics of infant behavior.…

Dean, Graham M.; Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Morris, Peter E.; Whittaker, Annalise – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
Eight experiments investigated the effects of visual, spatial, auditory, and executive interference on the symbolic comparison of animal size and ferocity, semantic goodness of words, and numbers. Dynamic visual noise (DVN) and the reading of visually presented stimulus items were shown to selectively interfere with response times on the animal…
