Memory load affects visual search processes without influencing search efficiency
Participants' eye-movements were monitored while they searched for a target among a varying number of distractors either with or without a concurrent memory load. Consistent with previous findings, adding a memory load slowed response times without affecting search slopes; a finding normally taken to imply that memory load affects pre- and/or post-search processes but not the search process its...
متن کاملEffects of memory load on visual search.
It remains unclear how memory load affects attentional processes in visual search (VS). No effects, as well as beneficial and detrimental effects of memory load, have been found in this type of task. The main goal of the present research was to explore whether memory load has a modulating effect on VS by means of a different attentional set induced by the order of trials (mixed vs. blocked) and...
متن کاملFinding memory in search: the effect of visual working memory load on visual search.
There is now substantial evidence that during visual search, previously searched distractors are stored in memory to prevent them from being reselected. Studies examining which memory resources are involved in this process have indicated that while a concurrent spatial working memory task does affect search slopes, depleting visual working memory (VWM) resources does not. In the present study, ...
متن کاملMemory processes in multiple-target visual search.
Gibson, Li, Skow, Brown, and Cooke (Psychological Science, 11, 324-327, 2000) had participants carry out a search task in which they were required to detect the presence of one or two targets. In order to successfully perform such a multiple-target visual search task, participants had to remember the location of the first target while searching for the second target. In two experiments we inves...
متن کاملWorking memory load predicts visual search efficiency: Evidence from a novel pupillary response paradigm.
An observer's pupil dilates and constricts in response to variables such as ambient and focal luminance, cognitive effort, the emotional stimulus content, and working memory load. The pupil's memory load response is of particular interest, as it might be used for estimating observers' memory load while they are performing a complex task, without adding an interruptive and confounding memory tes...
