Journal Article
Egan, C. D., Willis, A., & Wincenciak, J. (2009). The effects of a distractor on the visual gaze behaviour of children at signalized road crossings. Journal of Vision, 9(8), https://doi.org/10.1167/9.8.371

Children are over-represented in pedestrian injuries. This may be explained, at least in part, by poorer attentional mechanisms at the roadside compared with skilled adults. We have recently shown that children are more likely to attend to task-irrel... Read More about The effects of a distractor on the visual gaze behaviour of children at signalized road crossings.

Visual search for targets on natural textured backgrounds. (2009)
Journal Article
Green, P. R., Willis, A., & Egan, C. D. (2008). Visual search for targets on natural textured backgrounds. Perception, 38, (41). ISSN 0301-0066

Little is known about visual search for targets on natural, textured backgrounds, or about the capacity of biological camouflage patterns to provide protection across a range of backgrounds. The experiments described address both these problems. Obse... Read More about Visual search for targets on natural textured backgrounds..
