TLDR
This review describes possible cognitive architectures and their predictions about the capacity of visual search, and discusses three stages at which limitations may occur: preparation, selection, and post-selection processing.
Abstract
Can individuals look for multiple objects at the same time? A simple question, but answering it has proven difficult. In this review, we describe possible cognitive architectures and their predicti...

Distraction in Visual Working Memory: Resistance is Not Futile.

TL;DR: The authors proposed that distraction resistance should be an explicit component in any model of working memory and that understanding its behavioral and neural correlates is essential for building a comprehensive understanding of real-world memory function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparatory Control Against Distraction Is Not Feature-Based.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that distractors standing out by a feature that is categorically different from the target consistently captures attention, even if the distractors swapping their defining feature with the target.

Allocation of resources in working memory: Theoretical and empirical implications for visual search.

TL;DR: The resource hypothesis of visual search as mentioned in this paper provides new perspectives on previous debates and complements existing models of template-guided visual search, which provides a parsimonious and powerful framework.

Neural processing of lateralised task-irrelevant fearful faces under different awareness conditions

TL;DR: This paper examined the electrophysiological activity of task-irrelevant emotional faces under different awareness conditions and found that only target lines elicited an N2-posterior-contralateral (N2pc), indexing spatial attention shifting, in the supraliminal condition.

Guidance of attention by working memory is a matter of representational fidelity.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that items in working memory vary naturally in representational fidelity, and that attention is guided by all well represented items, though frequently only one item is represented well enough to guide; and no special working memory state for prioritized items is necessary to explain guidance.

Ror2 signaling regulates Golgi structure and transport through IFT20 for tumor invasiveness

TL;DR: It is found that intraflagellar transport 20 mediates the ability of Ror2 signaling to induce the invasiveness of tumors that lack primary cilia, and IFT20 regulates the nucleation of Golgi-derived microtubules by affecting the GM130-AKAP450 complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

A feature-integration theory of attention

TL;DR: A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.

Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain

TL;DR: Evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different attentional functions is reviewed, finding that one system is involved in preparing and applying goal-directed selection for stimuli and responses, and the other is specialized for the detection of behaviourally relevant stimuli.

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Visual Attention

TL;DR: The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a simple example and selectivity-the ability to filter out un­ wanted information is illustrated.

The magical number 4 in short-term memory: a reconsideration of mental storage capacity.

TL;DR: A wide variety of data on capacity limits suggesting that the smaller capacity limit in short-term memory tasks is real is brought together and a capacity limit for the focus of attention is proposed.

A better understanding of multiple-target search will also contribute to better design of real-life multiple-target search problems, reducing the risk of detrimental search failures.
