Training improves multitasking performance by increasing the speed of information processing in human prefrontal cortexPaul E Dux
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt Vision Research Center, Center for Integrative and Cognitive Neurosciences, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37240, USA
Neuron 63:127-38. 2009
..These results not only reveal how training leads to efficient multitasking, they also provide a mechanistic account of multitasking limitations, namely the poor speed of information processing in human prefrontal cortex...
Delayed reentrant processing impairs visual awareness: an object-substitution-masking studyPaul E Dux
School of Psychology, University of Queensland, Queensland, Australia
Psychol Sci 21:1242-7. 2010
..Our results confirm a key role for reentrant processing in conscious perception...
- The attentional blink: a review of data and theory
Paul E Dux
Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Atten Percept Psychophys 71:1683-700. 2009
..Thus, at its core, the attentional blink may ultimately reveal the temporal limits of the deployment of selective attention...
- Understanding recovery from object substitution masking
Stephanie C Goodhew
School of Psychology, University of Queensland, Australia
Cognition 122:405-15. 2012
..Instead, our results confirm recovery as a high-level visual-cognitive phenomenon, which is inherently tied to target-processing time. This reveals the prolonged iterative temporal dynamics of conscious object perception...
- A Unified attentional bottleneck in the human brain
Michael N Tombu
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt Vision Research Center, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37240, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:13426-31. 2011
..We conclude that a unified attentional bottleneck, including the inferior frontal junction, superior medial frontal cortex, and bilateral insula, temporally limits operations as diverse as perceptual encoding and decision-making...

- Rapid learning of rapid temporal contexts
Carly R Mayberry
University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Psychon Bull Rev 17:417-20. 2010
..Here, we show that a rapidly presented (approximately 100 msec/item), predictive, temporal context, where stimuli undergo only preliminary analysis, can facilitate the deployment of attention to a specific temporal location...
- Isolation of a central bottleneck of information processing with time-resolved FMRI
Paul E Dux
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt Vision Research Center, Center for Integrative and Cognitive Neurosciences, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, USA
Neuron 52:1109-20. 2006
..These results suggest that a neural network of frontal lobe areas acts as a central bottleneck of information processing that severely limits our ability to multitask...
- Different attentional blink tasks reflect distinct information processing limitations: an individual differences approach
Ashleigh J Kelly
School of Psychology, University of Queensland, Australia
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 37:1867-73. 2011
..Thus, these paradigms appear to reflect a distinct cognitive limitation from that observed under set-switch conditions...
- Implicit semantic perception in object substitution masking
Stephanie C Goodhew
School of Psychology, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Cognition 118:130-4. 2011
..Here, we refute this claim, showing implicit semantic perception in OSM using a target-mask priming paradigm. We conclude that semantic information suppressed via OSM can nevertheless guide behavior...
- Priming from distractors in rapid serial visual presentation is modulated by image properties and attention

Repetition blindness and repetition priming: effects of featural differences between targets and distractors on RSVP dual-target searchPaul E Dux
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, USA
Mem Cognit 36:776-90. 2008
..The results suggest that featural differences between targets and distractors play an important role in registering stimuli as distinct objects...
- An attentional blink for sequentially presented targets: evidence in favor of resource depletion accounts
Paul E Dux
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville Tennessee 37203, USA
Psychon Bull Rev 15:809-13. 2008
..These results suggest that resource depletion contributes significantly to the AB...
- Orientation sensitivity at different stages of object processing: evidence from repetition priming and naming
Irina M Harris
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
PLoS ONE 3:e2256. 2008
..In this study, we asked whether the nature of the object representation (orientation-dependent vs orientation-invariant) depends on the information-processing stages tapped by the task...
- On the failure of distractor inhibition in the attentional blink
Paul E Dux
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, USA
Psychon Bull Rev 14:723-8. 2007
..Our results demonstrate that the distractor repetition effect is dependent on attention, and that a failure to inhibit distractors contributes to the AB...
- Repetition blindness is immune to the central bottleneck
Paul E Dux
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, USA
Psychon Bull Rev 14:729-34. 2007
..The results indicate that, unlike the AB, RB does not result from central resource limitations. Evidently, temporal attentional limits to conscious perception can occur at multiple stages of information processing...

Paul E Dux
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt Vision Research Center, Center for Integrative and Cognitive Neurosciences, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA
PLoS ONE 3:e3330. 2008
..Here we examined whether humans' ability to inhibit distractors in the RSVP stream is a key determinant of individual differences in T1 performance and AB magnitude...
