On preventing attention capture: Is singleton suppression actually singleton suppression?

Mei-Ching Lien et al.

Summary: The study found that strong suppression effects can develop rapidly even in the absence of salient singletons, raising the question of whether salience plays any role in suppression.

Can salient stimuli really be suppressed?

Seah Chang et al.

Summary: The study found that observers can actively suppress a salient-but-irrelevant distractor instead of just enhancing the target. Results demonstrate a powerful suppression mechanism overriding attentional capture by a singleton item.

The guidance of attention by templates for rejection during visual search

Nick Berggren et al.

Summary: The hypothesis that foreknowledge of nontarget features in visual search is represented by negative search templates remains disputed. The study found that negative templates do not facilitate search but normally interfere with target selection. While some benefits can be observed after extended exposure to the same nontarget features, these benefits do not reflect active attentional guidance but are likely to be the result of passive habituation processes.

Attentional Suppression of Highly Salient Color Singletons

Brad T. Stilwell et al.

Summary: The study indicates that although there has been a debate in visual attention research about whether physically salient objects have an automatic power to capture attention, the current experiments support the signal suppression hypothesis, which suggests that salient items can be proactively suppressed via top-down control to prevent attentional capture.

Neural mechanisms underlying distractor inhibition on the basis of feature and/or spatial expectations

Dirk van Moorselaar et al.

Summary: Research suggests that inhibition of distracting information relies heavily on expectations derived from past experience, and both distractor feature and location regularities contribute to distractor suppression. While observers are sensitive to regularities across longer time scales, the observed effects largely reflect intertrial repetition.

History Modulates Early Sensory Processing of Salient Distractors

Kirsten C. S. Adam et al.

Summary: In order to find important objects, it is necessary to focus on goals, ignore distractions, and consider changing environments. Research suggests that stimulus history influences attention allocation, but the mechanisms behind ignoring repeated salient distractors remain a key question. Findings indicate that a stimulus-driven explanation can better account for the suppression of repeated distractors.

Guided Search 6.0: An updated model of visual search

Jeremy M. Wolfe

Summary: This paper introduces the Guided Search 6.0 (GS6) model, which includes five sources of preattentive information such as top-down and bottom-up feature guidance, and three types of functional visual fields (FVFs). GS6 combines asynchronous diffusion and a quitting signal to simulate the basic patterns of response time and error data from a range of search experiments.

Progress toward resolving the attentional capture debate

Steven J. Luck et al.

Summary: Recent research suggests that salient stimuli can automatically produce a priority signal, but attentional capture can be prevented through an inhibitory mechanism. This has led researchers to reconsider their original views on attentional capture.
