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 However, this facilitation is superseded by an inhibition of return (IOR) effect, which biases attention away from the cued location.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...

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.

An intact eye-movement system is not required to generate Inhibition of Return (2009)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Jackson, S., & Rorden, C. (2009). An intact eye-movement system is not required to generate Inhibition of Return. Journal of Neuropsychology, 3(2), 267-271. https://doi.org/10.1348/174866408x324377

AI is unable to make eye-movements and has a deficit of reflexive attention. Here, we demonstrate that despite these deficits AI exhibits inhibition of return (IOR) for peripherally cued objects and locations. These data suggest that an intact oculom...

A strong preference for using the right foot for skilled activities parallels a similar side bias for hand use. However, many neuropsychologists, sports scientists and sports commentators argue that right-foot bias in soccer is reduced or even elimin...

Both egocentric and allocentric cues support spatial priming in visual search (2009)
Journal Article

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.

Immediate and delayed actions share a common visuomotor transformation mechanism: A prism adaptation study (2009)
Journal Article

It is a key assumption of the perception/action model that the dorsal stream relies on current visual input and does not store visual information over an extended period of time. Consequently, it is expected that action which is guided by memorized v... Read More about Immediate and delayed actions share a common visuomotor transformation mechanism: A prism adaptation study.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over frontal eye fields disrupts visually cued auditory attention (2009)
Journal Article

Voluntary eye movements and covert shifts of visual attention activate the same brain regions. Specifically, the intra parietal sulcus and the frontal eye fields (FEF) appear to be involved both with generating voluntary saccades as well with attendi...

One of the most common and debilitating consequences of stroke is the loss of vision in the contralesional visual field. Clinicians typically regard this loss as irreversible and attempts at visual restoration have delivered only small and unreliable...

Reflexive attention attenuates change blindness (but only briefly) (2008)
Journal Article
Smith, D., & Schenk, T. (2008). Reflexive attention attenuates change blindness (but only briefly). Perception & psychophysics, 70(3), 489-495. https://doi.org/10.3758/pp.70.3.489

Humans are remarkably insensitive to large changes in a visual display if the change occurs simultaneously with a secondary perceptual event. A widely held view is that this change blindness occurs because the secondary perceptual event prevents the... Read More about Reflexive attention attenuates change blindness (but only briefly).

Clinical treatment options for patients with homonymous visual field defects (2008)
Journal Article

The objective of this review is to evaluate treatments for homonymous visual field defects (HVFDs). We distinguish between three treatments: visual restoration training (VRT), optical aids, and compensatory training. VRT is both the most ambitious an...

There is ample evidence to suggest that preparing to saccade to a location is sufficient to produce attentional shifts to this location. However, it is not clear whether engagement of the eye-movement system is also a necessary condition for any spat...

Saccade-contingent spatial and temporal errors are absent for saccadic head movements (2005)
Journal Article
Jackson, S., Newport, R., Osborne, F., Wakely, R., Smith, D., & Walsh, V. (2005). Saccade-contingent spatial and temporal errors are absent for saccadic head movements. Cortex, 41(2), 205-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0010-9452%2808%2970895-5

Psychophysical studies extending over a thirty-year period have repeatedly demonstrated that visual stimuli presented close to the onset of a saccadic eye movement are mislocalised both spatially and temporally. When post-saccadic visual references a... Read More about Saccade-contingent spatial and temporal errors are absent for saccadic head movements.

Humans are able to selectively attend to specific regions of space without moving their eyes. However, there is mounting evidence that these covert shifts of attention may employ many of the same brain regions involved when executing the eye movement...

Shifts of attention can be made overtly by moving the eyes or covertly with attention being allocated to a region of space that does not correspond to the current direction of gaze. However, the precise relationship between eye movements and the cove... Read More about Exogenous orienting of attention depends upon the ability to execute eye movements.

Most football players and coaches agree that players are capable of learning to use both feet with equal frequency and efficiency - that is, become 'two-footed'. There is also some consensus that two-footed play is associated with skill in individual... Read More about Footedness in world soccer: an analysis of France '98.
