   Abstract:
   Human subjects searched for a target character ("prey') among an array of background characters displayed on the screen of a small computer. The search rate was controlled by changing the display duration while prey crypticity was varied by changing the background. The results of these experiments provide support for a model we previously developed to elucidate the behavior of predators searching for cryptic prey. -from Authors
