Signal detection evidence for limited capacity in visual search.
The nature of capacity limits (if any) in visual search has been a topic of controversy for decades. In 30 years of work, researchers have attempted to distinguish between two broad classes of visual search models. Attention-limited models have proposed two stages of perceptual processing: an unlimited-capacity preattentive stage, and a limited-capacity selective attention stage. Conversely, no...
متن کاملSpatial probability as an attentional cue in visual search.
We investigated the role of spatial probabilities in target location during participants' performance of a visual search task. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that spatial probabilities could serve as a powerful attentional bias that produced faster detection of targets in high-probability locations than of those in low- or random-probability locations. The effect could not be explained by rep...
متن کاملSpatial probabilities as an attentional bias in visual search
The characterization of attentional processes in psychological studies generally begin with the assumption that the outcome of selection is determined by either bottom-up (exogenous) or top-down (endogenous) sources of information. This dissertation investigated how a simple statistical regularity that is neither clearly bottom-up nor top-down in informational content, might bias visual process...
متن کاملSpatial uncertainty explains exogenous and endogenous attentional cuing effects in visual signal detection.
Attentional cues may increase the detectability of a stimulus by increasing its signal-to-noise ratio (signal enhancement) or by increasing the efficiency of the observer's decision making by reducing uncertainty about the location of the stimulus (uncertainty reduction). Although signal enhancement has typically been found in detection tasks only when stimuli are backwardly masked, some recent...
متن کاملEvidence 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...
