We used a brain "pinging" again and found that distractor suppression is reactive rather than proactive, meaning attention is first drawn to the distractor before being suppressed.
Neural mechanisms of learned suppression uncovered by probing the hidden attentional priority map
Learned suppression of distractor locations in visual search emerges through reactive mechanisms that involve initial spatial selection prior to suppression.

New paper published: Having free choice over what to learn improves memory, even in the presence of distraction.
Across two experiments, free choice selectively enhanced recognition for relevant, but not irrelevant items. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
The influence of free choice on recognition memory in the face of distraction
Recognition memory is typically better for items learned after a free choice (independent of study material) than after a forced choice. However, previous studies presented to-be-remembered items i...
