Studies on subsequent search misses in radiology and cognitive psychology

Abstract

The article presents an overview of studies on subsequent search misses (satisfaction of search) effect in visual search. The subsequent search misses phenomenon occurs in a visual search task when a subject fails to continue to search for a subsequent target after fnding an initial one (usually a second target is less silent that the frst one). Previous studies had revealed a number of factors that infuence subsequent search misses: time of stimuli presentation, probability of two stimuli presentation, working memory load and others. The article contains an analysis of experimental research on subsequent search misses and the theoretical models that attempt to explain this phenomenon.
