Definition
- Visual search is any task where the observer has to find some desired object, or target, in a field of multiple nontarget distractor objects. We perform hundreds of visual searches each day: searching for a shirt in our closet, finding our car keys on the nightstand, or looking for a friend in a crowd of strangers.
