Inhibition of return exaggerates change blindness (2010)
Journal Article
Smith, D., & Schenk, T. (2010). Inhibition of return exaggerates change blindness. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 63(11), 2231-2238. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470211003592621

Peripheral cues trigger attention shifts, which facilitate perceptual processing and enhance visual awareness. However, this facilitation is superseded by an inhibition of return (IOR) effect, which biases attention away from the cued location. While...

A body-centred frame of reference drives spatial priming in visual search (2010)
Journal Article
Ball, K., Smith, D., Ellison, A., & Schenk, T. (2010). A body-centred frame of reference drives spatial priming in visual search. Experimental Brain Research, 204(4), 585-594. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-010-2327-y

Spatial priming in visual search is a well-documented phenomenon. If the target of a visual search is presented at the same location in subsequent trials, the time taken to find the target at this repeated target location is significantly reduced. Pr...

Visual exploration training is no better than attention training for treating hemianopia (2010)
Journal Article
Lane, A., Smith, D., Ellison, A., & Schenk, T. (2010). Visual exploration training is no better than attention training for treating hemianopia. Brain, 133(6), 1717-1728. https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awq088

Patients with homonymous visual field defects experience disabling functional impairments as a consequence of their visual loss. Compensatory visual exploration training aims to improve the searching skills of these patients in order to help them to...

Deficits of reflexive attention induced by abduction of the eye (2010)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Ball, K., Ellison, A., & Schenk, T. (2010). Deficits of reflexive attention induced by abduction of the eye. Neuropsychologia, 48(5), 1269-1276. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2009.12.028

Attention mediates access of sensory events to higher cognitive systems and can be driven by either top-down voluntary mechanisms or in a bottom-up, reflexive fashion by the sensory properties of a stimulus. The exact mechanisms underlying these diff... Read More about Deficits of reflexive attention induced by abduction of the eye.
