Target-distractor discriminability in visual search.
Previous research has demonstrated that discriminability of target and background elements has powerful effects on visual search performance. Typically, discriminability has been manipulated between blocks or subjects, allowing subjects to anticipate the discriminability in advance of each trial, and the results, therefore, have been consistent with a wide range of models. Two experiments are r...
متن کاملAge, target-distractor similarity, and visual search.
Younger and older adults were asked to find a single target in both feature- and conjunction- search conditions. Display size varied between 2 and 8 items, and target-distractor similarity ranged from relatively low to high levels. The accuracy data indicated that older adults had particular difficulty finding targets in high-similarity conjunction-search displays containing a large number of d...
متن کاملElectrophysiological Indices of Target and Distractor Processing in Visual Search
Attentional selection of a target presented among distractors can be indexed with an event-related potential (ERP) component known as the N2pc. Theoretical interpretation of the N2pc has suggested that it reflects a fundamental mechanism of attention that shelters the cortical representation of targets by suppressing neural activity stemming from distractors. Results from fields other than huma...

متن کاملTarget-to-distractor similarity can help visual search performance
We found an unexpected positive effect of target-to-distractor similarity (TD) in a visual search task, despite overwhelming evidence in the literature that TD similarity hurts visual search performance. Participants with no prior knowledge of Chinese performed 12 hour-long sessions over 4 weeks, where they had to find a briefly presented target character among a set of distractors. At the begi...
