On the limits of feed-forward processing in visual object recognition

Hierarchical feed forward models for robust object recognition

Top-down contingent attentional capture during feed-forward visual processing.

Theeuwes (2010) summarizes an impressive number of studies demonstrating interference by irrelevant visual singletons in computer experiments with humans. In these studies, if participants search for a relevant singleton target, such as the single diamond among circles (i.e., a shape singleton), an irrelevant singleton distractor, such as the single red circle among the green stimuli (i.e., a c...

Dimension-based attention modulates feed-forward visual processing.

In his position paper, Theeuwes (2010) makes a challenge to a number of current theories of visual selective attention, which assume that what we select in the first instance is not simply bottom-up driven by properties of the stimulus, but also influenced (at least to some extent) by internal system settings that are under top-down control. In essence, Theeuwes (2010) puts forward a strong sti...
