Race Guides Attention in Visual Search.
It is known that faces are rapidly and even unconsciously categorized into social groups (black vs. white, male vs. female). Here, I test whether preferences for specific social groups guide attention, using a visual search paradigm. In Experiment 1 participants searched displays of neutral faces for an angry or frightened target face. Black target faces were detected more efficiently than whit...
متن کاملInformativeness of visual features guides search
While visual search is known to be heavily guided by visual features similar to those in the search target, little is known about how we select the feature dimensions – such as luminance or orientation to guide search so efficiently. Here we introduce a novel measure of the informativeness of individual feature dimensions for a given search task. By analyzing human eye movements during search i...
متن کاملFocal attention in visual search
Visual search operates in different modes assumed to reflect serial and parallel processing. The basis of this distinction is not yet clear. It is often assumed that serial search involves sequential shifts of focal attention across a scene and that no such shifts occur in parallel search. Direct measurements of attention effects during search show that the focus of attention moves to the targe...
متن کاملVisual search with negative slopes: the statistical power of numerosity guides attention.
Four experiments were performed to examine the hypothesis that abstract, nonspatial, statistical representations of object numerosity can be used for attentional guidance in a feature search task. Participants searched for an odd-colored target among distractors of one, two, or three other colors. An enduring advantage of large over small sets (i.e., negative slopes of search functions) was fou...
متن کاملIntertrial temporal contextual cuing: association across successive visual search trials guides spatial attention.
Contextual cuing refers to the facilitation of performance in visual search due to the repetition of the same displays. Whereas previous studies have focused on contextual cuing within single-search trials, this study tested whether 1 trial facilitates visual search of the next trial. Participants searched for a T among Ls. In the training phase, the spatial layout on trial N=1 was predictive o...
