Dividing attention between auditory and visual perception
To what extent is simultaneous visual and auditory perception subject to capacity limitations and attentional control? TlIW experiments addressed this question by asking observers to recognize test tones and test letters under selective and divided attention. In Experiment I, both stimuli occurred on each trial, but subjects were cued in advance to process just one or both of the stimuli. In Ex...
متن کاملNeural substrates for dividing and focusing attention between simultaneous auditory and visual events.
With information constantly bombarding the human sensory systems, how is it that we attend to behaviorally relevant information? The present study examined the behavioral and neural bases of attending to one sense while ignoring another sense (bimodal selective attention) contrasted with attending simultaneously to two senses (bimodal divided attention). In a functional magnetic resonance imagi...
متن کاملAttention and visual perception.
Somewhere between the retina and our conscious visual experience, the majority of the information impinging on the eye is lost. We are typically aware of only either the most salient parts of a visual scene or the parts that we are actively paying attention to. Recent research on visual neurons in monkeys is beginning to show how the brain both selects and discards incoming visual information. ...
متن کاملDivided attention between simultaneous auditory and visual signals.
Past studies of simultaneous attention to pairs of visual stimuli have used the "dual-task" paradigm to show that identification of the direction of a change in luminance, whether incremental or decremental, is "capacity-limited," while simple detection of these changes is governed by "capacity-free" processes. On the basis of that finding, it has been suggested that the contrast between identi...
متن کاملAttention and Visual Perception: Analyzing Divided Attention
Attention is one of the most active areas of experimental research in cognitive science. This chapter focuses on an aspect of attention that has been studied intensively over the past twenty-five years or so: capacity limitations on our ability to perceive multiple visual inputs. The basic questions are simple but far-reaching. How much visual information can we take in at one time? What can we...
