Spatial Attention is Driven by Mental Simulations
the above/ABOVE advantage centers on the argument that the UP location and “yes” response are coded +, whereas the DOWN location and “no” response are coded −. They discuss studies in which a dot is located above or below a square containing the word above or below. When participants decide whether the location of the dot matches the word, they are faster to respond “yes” to an above/ABOVE stim...
متن کاملStimulus-driven Shifts of Spatial Attention
Turning the eyes and the head to an object when it suddenly appears in the visual f ield, producing what is called exploration behavior, is a common experience for everyone. Sokolov (1963) described this phenomenon as the orienting reflex. The purpose of the orienting reflex is to allow the central system to identify the new element that has just occurred in order to prepare the whole organism ...
متن کاملFace Processing is Gated by Visual Spatial Attention
Human perception of faces is widely believed to rely on automatic processing by a domain-specific, modular component of the visual system. Scalp-recorded event-related potential (ERP) recordings indicate that faces receive special stimulus processing at around 170 ms poststimulus onset, in that faces evoke an enhanced occipital negative wave, known as the N170, relative to the activity elicited...
متن کاملSpatial attention in the mental architecture: evidence from neuropsychology.
Using neuropsychological evidence, this paper examines whether spatial attention functions as a domain-specific module or as a more general-purpose central processor. Data are presented from two spatial attention cuing tasks completed by subjects, with an acquired attentional deficit, and control subjects. In both tasks, an arrow indicated with high probability the side of response (response ta...
متن کاملThe spatial profile of visual attention in mental curve tracing
In a curve-tracing task, subjects have to judge whether items are located on a single, continuous curve. Spatially separate segments of such a curve are related to each other through grouping criteria, like collinearity and connectedness. These grouping cues need to be exploited during curve tracing, but it is still an open issue how grouping of contour segments is achieved by the visual system...
