TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Focus on goal-relevant stimuli JO - Impaired driving update A1 - Coyle, Krista SP - 17 EP - 18 VL - 16 IS - 1 N2 - This article seeks to explain that a person's ability to remain focused on goal-relevant stimuli in the presence of potentially interfering distractors depends heavily on the level and type of load involved in the processing of this goal-relevant information. It claims, based on behavioral and neuroimaging studies that, whereas a high perceptual load can eliminate distractor processing, a high load on the "frontal" cognitive control processes will increase distractor processing.
