Search strategy modulates memory-driven capture.
Article in Attention, perception & psychophysics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study explores how different search strategies impact memory-driven attentional capture, utilizing two experiments. In the first experiment, participants performed a feature search, concentrating on a specific shape during visual search. Results showed that a distractor matching the color in working memory significantly captured attention, demonstrating a strong memory-driven capture effect. The second experiment involved a singleton detection mode, focusing primarily on the bottom-up processing of shape singletons during visual search. This mode resulted in less memory-driven attentional capture compared to the feature search, indicating that top-down processes such as working memory enhance memory-driven capture. These findings suggest that internal attentional settings, like the reliance on top-down versus bottom-up processing during searches, can influence the degree of memory-driven capture. The study offers new insights into the intricate interplay between attention, memory, and search strategies.
