Addressing the Association Between Action Video Game Playing Experience and Visual Search in Naturalistic Multisensory Scenes

This study investigates whether action video game players (AVGPs) outperform non-video game players (NVGPs) in visual search tasks with multisensory cues, finding no consistent advantage for AVGPs and suggesting gender-related differences in response strategies.

Cross-modal Semantic Relationships Guide Spontaneous Orienting in Real-life Scenes

This study shows that crossmodal semantic congruence influences spontaneous visual attention in real-life scenes by increasing gaze and fixation on semantically matching objects when paired with characteristic sounds.

Not so automatic: Task relevance and perceptual load modulate cross-modal semantic congruence effects on spatial orienting

The paper investigates how task relevance and perceptual load affect cross-modal semantic congruence effects on spatial attention, finding that congruence only speeds visual search under specific conditions.

Characteristic sounds facilitate object search in real-life scenes

This study shows that characteristic sounds improve visual search for relevant objects in natural scenes but do not enhance distractor salience.
