Abstract

Lavie and Torralbo (2010) present a response to the critique of load theory put forward by Tsal and Benoni (2010). We note that this response includes long discussions that dilute the major points of the debate and deals only with the first experiment in Tsal and Benoni, and we question whether it covers the broader critique we offer. In our reply, we argue against the points made by Lavie and Torralbo and propose that the 'dilution' critique of the theory is justified. Keywords: selective attention, visual attention, visual perception, dilution, perceptual load DOI: 10.1037/a0021907
