Evidence for attentional processing in spatial localization
Using a dual-task methodology, this study examined the involvement of selective attention in spatial localization. Thirty participants located a single, briefly presented, peripheral target stimulus, appearing in one of 50 positions on either side of a central fixation point, with or without the requirement to identify a simultaneously presented central distractor stimulus. Results revealed a r...
متن کاملProcessing Spatial Relations in Object Localization Tasks
The localization of an object within a certain environment requires the selection of an appropriate reference object and the establishment of adequate spatial relations between the objects. The decision, which reference object to choose, demands consideration of all applicable spatial relations, which therefore have to be computed before the nal decision can be made. However, the calculation of...
متن کاملSpatial frequency-specific effects on the attentional bias: Evidence for two attentional systems.
Using a gratingscales task as a sensitive measure of the attentional bias, we have recently observed a new form of frequency-specific cross-over; people showed left-biased preferences when comparing the high spatial frequency (HiSF) components of the task and rightward biases when comparing low spatial frequencies (LoSFs). Here we investigated which mechanisms underlie the cross-over. (1) We fo...
متن کاملAttentional modulation of spatial integration of pain: evidence for dynamic spatial tuning.
In many sensory modalities, afferent processing is dynamically modulated by attention and this modulation produces altered sensory experiences. Attention is able to alter perceived pain, but the mechanisms involved in this modulation have not been elucidated. To determine whether attention alters spatial integration of nociceptive information, subjects were recruited to evaluate pain from pairs...
متن کاملEvidence for split attentional foci.
A partial report procedure was used to test the ability of observers to split attention over noncontiguous locations. Observers reported the identity of 2 targets that appeared within a 5 x 5 stimulus array, and cues (validity = 80%) informed them of the 2 most likely target locations. On invalid trials, 1 of the targets appeared directly in between the cued locations. Experiments 1, 1a, and 2 ...
