Reduced distractor interference in neurotypical adults with high expression of autistic traits irrespective of stimulus type
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Autism Research"
DOI: 10.1002/aur.2005
Abstract: Attention atypicality is evident in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its broader phenotype with previous studies suggesting that in some cases participants can be more efficient at ignoring distracting irrelevant information. However, it is not… read more here.

The inhibitory effect of a recent distractor: singleton vs. multiple distractors
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Experimental Brain Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s00221-024-06846-3
Abstract: In the complex interplay between sensory and cognitive processes, the brain must sift through a flood of sensory data to pinpoint relevant signals. This selective mechanism is crucial for the effective control of behaviour, by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10548-020-00810-4
Abstract: As working memory (WM) is limited in capacity, it is important to direct neural resources towards processing task-relevant information while ignoring distractors. Neural oscillations in the alpha frequency band (8–12 Hz) have been suggested to play… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bandl.2018.12.005
Abstract: &NA; Attention is crucial to speech comprehension in real‐world, noisy environments. Selective phase‐tracking between low‐frequency brain dynamics and the envelope of target speech is a proposed mechanism to reject competing distractors. Studies have supported this… read more here.

Distractor filtering and its electrophysiological correlates in schizophrenia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Clinical Neurophysiology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2021.10.009
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Patients with schizophrenia are characterized by compromised working memory (WM) performance and increased distractibility. Theta synchronization (especially over the frontal midline areas) is related to cognitive control and executive processes during WM encoding and… read more here.

Distractor context manipulation in visual search: How expectations modulate proactive control
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Cognition"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2019.104129
Abstract: Visual search can be guided by top-down and bottom-up processes, with either one dominating the other depending on the task (e.g., feature versus conjunction). Moreover, different search tasks bring about different expectations about the type,… read more here.

Distractor probability influences suppression in auditory selective attention
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Cognition"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2021.104849
Abstract: Auditory selective attention is thought to facilitate listening to the sound of interest (e.g., voice or music) in a noisy environment. One mechanism thought to underlie this ability is suppression of distracting stimuli. However, little… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2020.08.025
Abstract: The ability to suppress distractions is essential to successful completion of goal-directed behaviors. Several behavioral studies have recently provided strong evidence that learned suppression may be particularly efficient in reducing distractor interference. Expectations about a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.116517
Abstract: Frontal Eye Field (FEF) neurons discriminate between relevant and irrelevant visual stimuli and their response magnitude predicts conscious perception. How this is reflected in the spatial representation of a visual stimulus at the neuronal population… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117149
Abstract: Selective attention, the ability to filter relevant from a sea of sensory information, relies on the prioritization of goal-relevant information (target facilitation) and the suppression of goal-irrelevant information (distractor suppression). Although several lines of evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2020.07.029
Abstract: Nicotine improves sustained attention and reduces distractor interference, promoting cognitive stability. While stable performance may be beneficial in some situations, others require flexible updating of task demands. Frontoparietal networks, basal ganglia and thalamus contribute to… read more here.
