Presentation / Conference
Thompson, C., & Crundall, D. (2009, August). The transference of eye movement strategy between two unrelated visual search tasks. Presented at 15th European Conference on Eye Movements, Southampton, UK

Three experiments were conducted to investigate the carry-over of a location-based attentional set from a low-level visual search task to a search of natural images, using eye movements as the dependent measure. In each trial participants searched th... Read More about The transference of eye movement strategy between two unrelated visual search tasks.

The persistence of attentional set and its implications for top-down control (2009)
Thesis
Thompson, C. (in press). The persistence of attentional set and its implications for top-down control. (Thesis). University of Nottingham

A top-down attentional set allows selective processing of the most informative aspects of a scene by biasing attention towards task-relevant stimuli and away from task-irrelevant stimuli on the basis of task demands. The work in this thesis explored... Read More about The persistence of attentional set and its implications for top-down control.
