Human search strategies are informed by complex target distribution statistics (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Cain, M. S., Vul, E., Clark, K., & Mitroff, S. R. (2010, November). Human search strategies are informed by complex target distribution statistics. Paper presented at Object Perception, Attention, and Memory, St Louis, Missouri, United States

Many real-world visual searches contain multiple targets in one display and such searches can be especially error prone. We investigated whether searchers adapt their strategies based on complex statistics of target distributions in multiple-target s...

Revealing individual differences in visual search: ADHD leads to see too little and anorexia nervosa leads to seeing too much (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Clark, K., Watson, K. K., Zucker, N. L., & Mitroff, S. R. (2010, November). Revealing individual differences in visual search: ADHD leads to see too little and anorexia nervosa leads to seeing too much. Poster presented at Object Perception, Attention, and Memory, St Louis, Missouri, United States

In understanding the nature of visual cognition, it is important to determine how individual differences affect performance. We have found relationships between symptoms of both ADHD and anorexia nervosa and performance on a simple visual search tas...

Identifying and reducing satisfaction of search errors: How to alleviate dual-target search costs (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Mitroff, S. R., Clark, K., & Cain, M. S. (2010, November). Identifying and reducing satisfaction of search errors: How to alleviate dual-target search costs. Paper presented at Psychonomic Society, St Louis, Missouri, United States

Some occupations (e.g., airport luggage screeners, military personnel, radiologists) require highly accurate visual searches. To maximize performance it is important to identify factors that decrease accuracy and then identify means to alleviate thei...

Reducing satisfaction of search errors in visual search (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Clark, K., Cain, M. S., Adcock, R. A., & Mitroff, S. R. (2010, May). Reducing satisfaction of search errors in visual search. Poster presented at Vision Sciences Society, Naples, Florida, United States

Several occupations rely upon the ability to accurately and efficiently perform visual search. For example, radiologists must successfully identify abnormalities, and airport luggage screeners must recognize threatening items. By investigating variou...
