TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Moving towards solutions to some enduring controversies in visual search JO - Trends in cognitive sciences A1 - Wolfe, Jeremy M. SP - 70 EP - 76 VL - 7 IS - 2 N2 - How do we find a target item in a visual world filled with distractors? A quarter of a century ago, in her influential "Feature Integration Theory" (FIT), Treisman proposed a two-stage solution to the problem of visual search: a preattentive stage that could process a limited number of basic features in parallel and an attentive stage that could perform more complex acts of recognition, one object at a time. The theory posed a series of problems. What is the nature of that preattentive stage? How do serial and parallel processes interact? How does a search unfold over time? Recent work has shed new light on these issues.
