Contrast discrimination, non-uniform patterns and change blindness.
Change blindness--our inability to detect large changes in natural scenes when saccades, blinks and other transients interrupt visual input--seems to contradict psychophysical evidence for our exquisite sensitivity to contrast changes. Can the type of effects described as 'change blindness' be observed with simple, multi-element stimuli, amenable to psychophysical analysis? Such stimuli, compos...
متن کاملSlow discrimination of contrast-defined expansion patterns
We compared observers' performance in the same complex motion discrimination task using stimuli defined by luminance or by contrast. They were asked to discriminate between a centred expansion pattern, constructed from four patches of outwards motion, and a distorted expansion pattern, constructed with one patch containing inwards motion and three patches containing outwards motion. We measured...
متن کاملOrientation integration in detection and discrimination of contrast-modulated patterns
Orientation detection and discrimination thresholds were measured for Gabor 'envelopes' formed from contrast-modulation of luminance 'carriers'. Consistent with previous research differences between carrier and envelope orientation had no effect on sensitivity to envelopes. Using plaid carriers in which the proportion of contrast modulation 'carried' by each plaid component was systematically m...
متن کاملChange Blindness
Large changes that occur in clear view of an observer can become difficult to notice if made during an eye movement, blink, or other such disturbance. This change blindness is consistent with the proposal that focused visual attention is necessary to see change, with a change becoming difficult to notice whenever conditions prevent attention from being automatically drawn to it. It is shown her...
متن کاملCulture and Change Blindness
Research on perception and cognition suggests that whereas East Asians view the world holistically, attending to the entire field and relations among objects, Westerners view the world analytically, focusing on the attributes of salient objects. These propositions were examined in the change-blindness paradigm. Research in that paradigm finds American participants to be more sensitive to change...
