Abstract: How do we go about picking out one particular object from a number of related ones? Do we try to find the target by moving from one object to another in turn (attending the objects in ‘series’), or do we attempt to scan them all at once (attending in parallel)? This is a long-standing controversy, and the latest studies, using event-related potentials, come down on the side of serial processing.
