TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Visual search revived: the slopes are not that slippery: a reply to Kristjansson (2015) JO - i-Perception A1 - Wolfe, Jeremy M. SP - e2041669516643244 EP - e2041669516643244 VL - 7 IS - 3 N2 - Kristjansson (2015) suggests that standard research methods in the study of visual search should be "reconsidered." He reiterates a useful warning against treating reaction time x set size functions as simple metrics that can be used to label search tasks as "serial" or "parallel." However, I argue that he goes too far with a broad attack on the use of slopes in the study of visual search. Used wisely, slopes do provide us with insight into the mechanisms of visual search.
