The presence of a salient distractor slows search for a target. In this project we investigate if scene variability influences distractibility.  Participants searched for a target among distractors, and on some trials a single distractor was a highly salient unique color. In each trial we measured the accuracy and the response time (RT), but we only take into consideration the trails were a distractor was present. Targets changed on each block, and some participants were instructed to search for the novel shaped target, whereas others were instructed to search for a specific shape. If searching for a specific shape increases attentional selectivity, we should see less distraction when participants search for a specific target than when they search for any unique target.
