• Visual attention: The past 25 years (2011, background): “…of psychophysical studies have shown that contrast sensitivity for the attended stimulus is enhanced in the presence of competing stimuli (e.g., Carrasco & McElree, 2001; Dosher & Lu, 2000a, 2000b; Foley, 1998; Huang & Dobkins, 2005; Lee et al., 1997; Lee, Itti et al., 1999; Lu & Dosher, 1998;…”
• Covert attention increases spatial resolution with or without masks: support for signal enhancement. (2002, methodology): “Indeed, to assess directly whether attention speeds information accrual, we have used the response-signal speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT) procedure to investigate the effects of precueing on feature and conjunction searches (Carrasco & McElree, 2001).”
