Abstract:Visual search relies on the ability to use information about the target in working memory to guide attention and make target-match decisions. This memory representation is referred to as the “attentional” or “target” template and is typically thought to contain veridical target information. However, more recent studies have shown that in complex visual environments, target-associated information is often used to guide attention (Battistoni et al., 2017; de Lange et al., 2018; Peelen et al., 2024; Vo et al., 20… Show more
