SEarch via Recursive Rejection (SERR): a connectionist model of visual search
Article Abstract:
The SEarch via Recursive Rejection (SERR) model of visual search is a connectionistmodel that assumes that visual processing of simple form conjunctions proceeds in a spatially parallel manner. It also proposes that search operates through arecursive rejection of these conjunctions. Experiments revealed that the numberof distractors comprising a single group failed to alter the model's performance. When the number of distracting groups was increased, however, the probability of missing targets became greater. The results were found to be identical with functions generated when human subjects searched displays with variable ditractor group numbers.

Visual marking inhibits singleton capture
Article Abstract:
The impact of distractor previews on the search for new objects in visual surroundings is verified with the help of four experiments. The study reveals the effects of the new target object, the singleton, are reduced due to a preventive carry-over image from the previewed object based on similar features, and this prevention or suppression emerges from a process called visual marking.

Visual markings of locations and feature maps: evidence from within-dimension defined conjunctions
Article Abstract:
Visual perception is examined, focusing on the difference between static and moving stimuli. Six experiments are conducted to investigate the characteristics of visual markings.
