Adding statistical regularity results in a global slowdown in visual search

Published in: Cognition, Volume 174, May 2018, 19-27 Abstract “Current statistical learning theories predict that embedding implicit regularities within a task should further improve online performance, beyond general practice. We challenged this assumption by contrasting performance in a visual search task containing either a consistent-mapping (regularity) condition, a random-mapping condition, or both conditions, mixed. Surprisingly, performance in a […]

Concurrent deployment of visual attention and response selection bottleneck in a dual-task: Electrophysiological and behavioural evidence

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

Published in: The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 12, 2460-2477 Abstract “Visual attention and response selection are limited in capacity. Here, we investigated whether visual attention requires the same bottleneck mechanism as response selection in a dual-task of the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm. The dual-task consisted of an auditory two-choice discrimination Task
