Grabbing attention without knowing: Automatic capture of attention by subliminal spatial cues
The present study shows that an abrupt onset cue that is not consciously perceived can cause attentional facilitation followed by inhibition at the cued location. The observation of this classic biphasic effect of facilitation followed by inhibition of return (IOR) suggests that the subliminal cue captured attention in a purely exogenous way. Since IOR is not observed following endogenous shift...
متن کاملOrienting of visual attention by subliminal central cues
In several recent studies it was demonstrated that spatial shifts of attention may be directed by subliminal peripheral events [Mulckhuyse and Theeuwes, 2010, Acta Psychologica, 134, 299-309]. In three experiments based on Posner’s cue paradigm we investigated whether attention may be directed by subliminal central events (arrows at fixation point). In Experiment 1, participants had to detect a...
متن کاملAutomatic vigilance: the attention-grabbing power of negative social information.
One of the functions of automatic stimulus evaluation is to direct attention toward events that may have undesirable consequences for the perceiver's well-being. To test whether attentional resources are automatically directed away from an attended task to undesirable stimuli, Ss named the colors in which desirable and undesirable traits (e.g., honest, sadistic) appeared. Across 3 experiments, ...
متن کاملAttention capture by faces.
We report three experiments that investigate whether faces are capable of capturing attention when in competition with other non-face objects. In Experiment 1a participants took longer to decide that an array of objects contained a butterfly target when a face appeared as one of the distracting items than when the face did not appear in the array. This irrelevant face effect was eliminated when...
متن کاملSpatial orienting of tactile attention induced by social cues.
Several studies have established that humans orient their visual attention reflexively in response to social cues such as the direction of someone else's gaze. However, the consequences of this kind of orienting have been addressed only for the visual system. We investigated whether visual social attention cues can induce shifts in tactile attention by combining a central noninformative eye-gaz...
