Spatial priming in visual search: memory for body-centred information (2011)
Journal Article
Ball, K., Lane, A., Ellison, A., & Schenk, T. (2011). Spatial priming in visual search: memory for body-centred information. Experimental Brain Research, 212(3), 477-485. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-011-2754-4

Spatial priming allows memory for target locations to be evaluated, whereby when a target appears in the same location across trials, participants become more efficient at locating it and consequently their search times decrease. Previously, we repor... Read More about Spatial priming in visual search: memory for body-centred information.

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...

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.

Both egocentric and allocentric cues support spatial priming in visual search (2009)
Journal Article
Ball, K., Smith, D., Ellison, A., & Schenk, T. (2009). Both egocentric and allocentric cues support spatial priming in visual search. Neuropsychologia, 47(6), 1585-1591. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.11.017

The perception–action model proposes that vision for perception and vision for action are subserved by two separate cortical systems, the ventral and dorsal streams, respectively [Milner, A. D., & Goodale, M. A. (1995). The visual brain in action (1s... Read More about Both egocentric and allocentric cues support spatial priming in visual search.
