Overcoming intuitive interference in mathematics: insights from behavioral, brain imaging and intervention studies (2010, result): “These findings are consistent with Lavie’s work on visual selective attention, which suggests that a high cognitive load leads to a higher interference of irrelevant task features in incongruent trials (e.g., Lavie 2005; Lavie et al. 2004 ).”
Effect of action video games on the spatial distribution of visuospatial attention. (2006, background): “Because differences in baseline RTs between groups may produce interactions with within-subject measures that reflect only the magnitude of the baseline RT differences, it is important to note that although the mean VGP RT was approximately 37 ms faster than the mean NVGP RT, the main effect of gami”
Playing video games does not make for better visual attention skills (2009, result): “Both the IB task load manipulation and the actual IB task itself replicated previous findings in this area (Cartwright-Finch & Lavie, 2007; Lavie, Hirst, de Fockert, & Viding, 2004; Most et al., 2001).”
A taxonomy of external and internal attention. (2011, positive): “Central (internal) load includes increasing the number of items that must be maintained in working memory or performing other executive functions such as task switching (Lavie et al. 2004).”
I felt low and my purse feels light: depleting mood regulation attempts affect risk decision making (2009, background): “Indeed, research has shown that Stroop-like tasks consume so much attentional capacity that processing of other information necessarily is blocked ( Lavie, Hirst, de Fockert, & Viding, 2004 ).”
THE PERSISTENCE OF POVERTY IN THE CONTEXT OF FINANCIAL INSTABILITY: A BEHAVIORAL PERSPECTIVE (2015, background): “For example, even in simple visual search tasks, cognitive capacity and executive control have been found to be impeded under cognitive load (DeFockert et al., 2001; Lavie, 2000; Lavie et al., 2004).”
Feature-based memory-driven attentional capture: visual working memory content affects visual attention. (2006, neutral): “We believe the answer lies in another series of experiments by Lavie et al. (2004; especially their Experiments 4 and 5) showing that it is not so much (or not only) the amount of memory load that causes increased interference but the fact that the observer needs to maintain and coordinate two task…”
Brain Drain: The Mere Presence of One’s Own Smartphone Reduces Available Cognitive Capacity (2017, neutral): “Our theoretical framework draws on prior research out-lining the role of limited-capacity attentional resources in inhibiting responses to high-priority but task-irrelevant stimuli (Shallice 1972; Bargh 1982; Lavie et al. 2004; Clapp et al. 2009).”
