Abstract

In order to foster the development of research in the broadly defined areas of attention and perception, a group of cognitive and experimental psychologists with the shared research interests have organized a series of workshops and conferences, dubbed Conference on Attention and Perception (or A&P for short), since the year of 2000 and onward. After a brief introduction to how A&P was born and how it has evolved into its current form of international conference (i.e., international scholars were invited as keynote speakers and all papers were presented in English), I provided an overview of the 124 papers presented at the past nine A&Ps, held between 2002 and 2012. Those papers were divided into eight thematic topics, including control of attention (I and II), basic and low-level visual processing, visual search and eye movement, face and face-related  processing, interaction of attention and perception, memory, and applied research in attention and perception. Taken together, those papers offer a window into which one can gauge understanding and appreciation of research on attention and perception in Taiwan during the past decade. Possible future directions on attention and perception research for the next decade are also discussed.
