The Control of Visual Attention: A Special Issue of Visual Cognition in Honor of Charles Folk and Roger Remington
Over the past several decades, Profs. Charles Folk and Roger Remington have pioneered major advances in understanding how humans control attention. Their 1992 Contingent Involuntary Orienting Hypothesis and subsequent joint works have impacted thousands of research studies and inform most theories of attention today. Both Folk and Remington have contributed consequential independent work beyond their collaboration as well. To honor their significant career contributions, we are pleased to announce this special issue. We invite scholarly submissions that have been meaningfully influenced by Folk & Remington's foundational work.
Submission Instructions
We invite full research articles, brief articles, and review articles. A summary of the article types is as follows:
- Full Research articles typically involve multiple experiments and a relatively in-depth discussion of the theoretical implications of the work. There are no length restrictions though authors should strive for brevity.
- Review articles provide a critical review of a topic area in a way that makes a substantial theoretical contribution. There are no length restrictions.
- Brief articles report new and unexpected empirical findings of broad interest and will be favoured for novelty of approach, method, and theoretical impact. Brief Articles are limited to 3000 words including abstract, notes, captions, and appendices, but excluding bibliography, which should not exceed 30 references. Figures and tables should be used sparingly. A word count should be included on the title page.
We note that several review articles on the topic of attentional control have been published in recent years, so we ask authors considering this option to justify in their cover letter the article's novelty and utility to the field.
