“…Second, our results can also help to offer new insights into how participants fail to detect targets in visual search. It has been noted that targets are often missed as a consequence of failures of perceptual identification (Cain et al., ; Schwark et al., )—that is, even after fixating the target object, the target is still missed by participants (Engel, ; Godwin et al., ,a,b; Godwin et al., ; Gould & Cairn, ; Hooge & Erkelens, ; Hout, Walenchok, Goldinger, & Wolfe, ; Nodine & Kundel, ). These failures have important societal consequences, such as in radiographic image screening, where tumors can go undetected and missed by searchers.…”
