In visual search for a shape target, interference from salient-but-irrelevant color singletons can be resisted in feature search mode, but not in singleton detection mode. In singleton detection mode, we observed a contralateral positivity (PD) after 260-340ms, suggesting that the salient distractor was suppressed. Because RTs in singleton detection mode increased when a distractor was present,...

Introduction. The use of digital technologies in tertiary education is one the most pronounced modern trends. component university context rapidly developing and tends to replace traditional campus-based forms. However, variety aspects this problem addressed publications indicates that ready-made decisions on how much what form introduce online practices each specific does not exist. decision h...

There is no consensus as to what information guides search for a singleton target. Does the most salient display element capture attention, regardless of the observer's attentional set? Do observers adopt a default salience-based search mode? Does knowledge of the target's defining featural property (when available) affect search? Finally, can intertrial contingencies account for the disparate ...

This paper describes a novel search engine, WithAir that provides contents retrieval for i-mode, the most popular cell-phone service in Japan. WithAir allows users to complete typical search tasks with 4.4 keystrokes on average through keyword/purpose-predictive navigation. These two forms of navigation simplify, respectively, keyword input and search result output. WithAir has been used to sea...
