Rate My Professor Fabrice Parmentier

Parmentier's research focuses on cognitive psychology, particularly the mechanisms underlying attention and distraction, with emphasis on auditory deviance distraction, serial memory, working memory, and cognitive changes associated with aging. He has produced over 68 peer-reviewed articles, significantly impacting the field of experimental psychology. Notable publications include "Auditory context-dependent distraction by unexpected visual stimuli" (Parmentier, English, & Maybery, 2024, Psychonomic Bulletin & Review), "Distraction by deviant sounds is modulated by the environmental context" (Parmentier et al., 2022, Scientific Reports), "Distraction by violation of sensory predictions: Functional distinction between deviant sounds and unexpected silences" (Parmentier et al., 2022, PLoS One), "The cognitive determinants of behavioral distraction by deviant auditory stimuli: A review" (Parmentier, 2014, Psychological Research), and "Towards a cognitive model of distraction by auditory novelty: The role of involuntary attention capture and semantic processing" (Parmentier, 2008, Cognition). His contributions have garnered over 4,400 citations on Google Scholar, advancing models of involuntary attention capture by unexpected sensory events.
