Parallel distractor rejection as a binding mechanism in search (2012)
Journal Article
Dent, K., Allen, H. A., Braithwaite, J. J., & Humphreys, G. W. (2012). Parallel distractor rejection as a binding mechanism in search. Frontiers in Psychology, 3(278), https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00278

The relatively common experimental visual search task of finding a red X amongst red O’s and green X’s (conjunction search) presents the visual system with a binding problem. Illusory conjunctions (ICs) of features across objects must be avoided and... Read More about Parallel distractor rejection as a binding mechanism in search.

Similar behaviour, different brain patterns: age-related changes in neural signatures of ignoring (2012)
Journal Article
Allen, H. A., & Payne, H. (2012). Similar behaviour, different brain patterns: age-related changes in neural signatures of ignoring. NeuroImage, 59(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.10.070

We measured behavioural performance and fMRI activity whilst old and young adults performed a temporal segmentation task (‘preview search’). Being able to select parts of the visual world to be attended or ignored is a critical visual skill. Both o...

Psychophysical correlates of global motion processing in the aging visual system: a critical review (2012)
Journal Article
Hutchinson, C. V., Arena, A., Allen, H. A., & Ledgeway, T. (2012). Psychophysical correlates of global motion processing in the aging visual system: a critical review. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 36(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2012.02.009

The consequences of visual decline in aging have a fundamental and wide-reaching impact on age-related quality of life. It is of concern therefore that evidence suggests that normal aging is accompanied by impairments in the ability to effectively en...
