Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The findings of de Fockert et al. suggest that effective visual search is dependent on the maintenance of stimulus priorities in working memory, meaning that individuals must maintain the relevant stimuli in their attentional focus in order to successfully complete the task. While representation in the sensory register may aid in initial processing of stimuli and a positive mental outlook may affect overall cognitive functioning, they do not specifically improve visual search effectiveness as directly as the maintenance of stimulus priorities in working memory. Therefore, option C is the most accurate choice.
