The Flux Capacitor Account: A New Account of Multiple Target Visual Search Errors

A novel, unbiased approach to evaluating subsequent search misses in dual target visual search

“…Investigations into this SSM phenomenon have addressed numerous additional questions to better understand the phenomenon and its causes. This research includes investigations into whether finding one target depletes working memory (Cain & Mitroff, 2013 ) or causes that target’s template to become highly active in working memory (Adamo, Nah, Collegio, Scotti, & Shomstein, 2018 ), investigating how expertise influences the effect (Biggs & Mitroff, 2014 ; Cain, Biggs, Darling, & Mitroff, 2014 ), investigating how the effect may interact with target prevalence (Godwin et al, 2010 ), how the salience difference between the two targets may influence the effect (Sall & Feng, 2016 ), and how the effect may depend on anxiety (Cain, Dunsmoor, LaBar, & Mitroff, 2011 , 2017 ).…”
