Abstract:People can learn, and utilize, not only static but also dynamic (cross-trial) regularities in the positioning oftargetitems in parallel, ‘pop-out’ visual search. However, while static target-location learning also works in serial search, acquiring dynamic regularities seems prevented by the demands imposed by item-by-item scanning. Also, questions have been raised regarding a role of explicit awareness for utilizing (at least) dynamic regularities to optimize performance. The present study re-investigated whet… Show more
