G.A. Miller’s scientific contributions

... human visual system relies on serial processing to solve this problem, iteratively directing attention to individual objects so as to avoid interference [28,33], and that binding errors arise when it is forced to rely on rapid, parallel visual processing [14,19,33]. For example, when human participants are not able to effectively deploy serial processing (e.g., because attention is overloaded, or because speeded judgments are required), they are susceptible to so-called illusory conjunctions (e.g., mistakenly identifying a red square in an image that contains a green square and a red circle) [32]. ...
