Specifying attentional top-down influences on subsequent unconscious semantic processing
Classical theories assume that unconscious automatic processes are autonomous and independent of higher-level cognitive influences. In contrast, we propose that automatic processing depends on a specific configuration of the cognitive system by top-down control. In 2 experiments, we tested the influence of available attentional resources and previously activated task sets on masked semantic pri...
متن کاملAttentional sensitization of unconscious visual processing: Top-down influences on masked priming
Classical theories of automaticity assume that automatic processes elicited by unconscious stimuli are autonomous and independent of higher-level cognitive influences. In contrast to these classical conceptions, we argue that automatic processing depends on attentional amplification of task-congruent processing pathways and propose an attentional sensitization model of unconscious visual proces...
متن کاملTop-down influences on attentional capture by color changes.
Previous studies have shown that a change in an existing object is not as effective in capturing attention as the appearance of a new object. This view was recently challenged by Lu and Zhou (Psychonomic Bulletin and Review 12:567-572, 2005), who found strong capture effects for an object changing its color. We suspected that this finding critically depends on a procedural particularity in Lu a...
متن کاملAn Attentional System Combining Top-Down and Bottom-Up Influences
Attention plays an important role in human processing of sensory information as a mean of focusing resources towards the most important inputs at the moment. In vision it has been argued attentional processes are crucial for dealing with the complexity of real world scenes. The problem has often been posed in terms of visual search tasks. It has been shown that both the use of prior task and co...
متن کاملCombining bottom-up and top-down attentional influences
Visual attention to salient and relevant scene regions is crucial for an animal’s survival in the natural world. It is guided by a complex interplay of at least two factors – image-driven, bottom-up salience [1] and knowledge-driven, top-down guidance [2, 3]. For instance, a ripe red fruit among green leaves captures visual attention due to its bottom-up salience, while a non-salient camouflage...
