Cortical Magnification Neutralizes the Eccentricity Effect in Visual Search
We report two visual search experiments that explain an eccentricity effect previously found: detection of both feature and conjunction targets becomes increasingly less efficient as the orientation target appears at more distant field eccentricities (Carrasco et al., 1995). By cortically magnifying the stimuli we flattened out this effect for both feature and conjunction tasks. We conclude tha...
متن کاملParallel processing in visual search asymmetry.
The difficulty of visual search may depend on assignment of the same visual elements as targets and distractors-search asymmetry. Easy C-in-O searches and difficult O-in-C searches are often associated with parallel and serial search, respectively. Here, the time course of visual search was measured for both tasks with speed-accuracy methods. The time courses of the 2 tasks were similar and ind...
متن کاملHeuristic Search vs. Exhaustive Search
A theorem proving system embodying a systematic search procedure is de sen bed. Al though the search spaces are usually infinite, and not even locally finite, the asymmetric way in which thev are generated results in a speed that is es 11ma-ted to be one to two orders of magnitude faster than the theorem provers of Quinlan and Hunt, and Chang and the problem-solver of Kikes, to whi c h this sys...
متن کاملInformation-limited parallel processing in difficult heterogeneous covert visual search.
Difficult visual search is often attributed to time-limited serial attention operations, although neural computations in the early visual system are parallel. Using probabilistic search models (Dosher, Han, & Lu, 2004) and a full time-course analysis of the dynamics of covert visual search, we distinguish unlimited capacity parallel versus serial search mechanisms. Performance is measured for d...
متن کاملTop-down inhibition of search distractors in parallel visual search.
In three experiments, we examined distractor inhibition in parallel ("pop-out") visual search. Distractor inhibition was measured in terms of reaction time (RT) to a simple luminance increment probe presented, after the search task response, at display locations that either contained a search distractor (on-probe) or were blank (off-probe). When the search stimuli remained in view, the on-probe...
