Quantifying object salience by equating distractor effects
It is commonly believed that objects viewed in certain contexts may be more or less salient. Measurements of salience have usually relied on asking observers "How much does this object stand out against the background?". In this study, we measured the salience of objects by assessing the distraction they produce for subjects searching for a different, pre-specified target. Distraction was measu...
متن کاملDistractor devaluation in a flanker task: object-specific effects without distractor recognition memory.
Previous research has shown that ignored stimuli are affectively devalued (i.e., distractor devaluation effect). Whereas previous research used feature-based selection tasks to investigate distractor devaluation, we used an object-based paradigm, allowing us to investigate open questions regarding underlying mechanisms. First, by using an object-based paradigm, we expected to find distractor de...
متن کاملDistractor inhibition for object and action selection
We conducted two experiments to investigate the factors that determine our ability to select objects based on the stimulus properties and actions based on the response properties. Riddoch, Humphreys, and Edward (2000) reported data from a brain-damaged patient, suggested the inhibition effect of the distractor varied dependent on the stimulus-response association, that is, response blocking eff...
متن کاملFamiliar Object Salience Affects Novel Word Learning.
Children use the presence of familiar objects with known names to identify the correct referents of novel words. In natural environments, objects vary widely in salience. The presence of familiar objects may sometimes hinder rather than help word learning. To test this hypothesis, 3-year-olds (N = 36) were shown novel objects paired with familiar objects that varied in their visual salience. Wh...
متن کاملPredictably Non-Bayesian: Quantifying Salience Effects in Physician Learning About Drug Quality
E and survey-based research suggests that consumers often rely on their intuition and cognitive shortcuts to make decisions. Intuition and cognitive shortcuts can lead to suboptimal decisions and, especially in high-stakes decisions, to legitimate welfare concerns. In this paper, we propose an extension of a Bayesian learning model that allows us to quantify the impact of salience—the fact that...
