Symbolic control of visual attention.
The present study reports four pairs of experiments that examined the role of nonpredictive (i.e., task-irrelevant) symbolic stimuli on attentional orienting. The experiments involved a simple detection task, an inhibition of return (IOR) task, and choice decision tasks both with and without attentional bias. Each pair of experiments included one experiment in which nonpredictive arrows were pr...
متن کاملSymbolic control of visual attention: semantic constraints on the spatial distribution of attention.
Humans routinely use spatial language to control the spatial distribution of attention. In so doing, spatial information may be communicated from one individual to another across opposing frames of reference, which in turn can lead to inconsistent mappings between symbols and directions (or locations). These inconsistencies may have important implications for the symbolic control of attention b...
متن کاملSymbolic control of visual attention: The role of working memory and attentional control settings.
This study examined how 1 symbol is selected to control the allocation of attention when several symbols appear in the visual field. In Experiments 1-3, the critical target feature was color, and it was found that uninformative central arrows that matched the color of the target were selected and produced unintentional shifts of attention (i.e., involuntary, initiated slowly, producing long-las...
متن کاملVisual Attention and the Semantics of Space: Evidence for Two Forms of Symbolic Control
In this paper, we investigate the functional differences between word cues and arrow cues in a spatial cuing task and provide a novel computational model fit to the empirical data that provides (1) a conceptually parsimonious explanation of the observed differences and (2) evidence for the existence of two forms of symbolic attentional control. We briefly discuss the implications of the model f...
متن کاملSymbolic control of attention: tracking its temporal dynamics.
Three experiments examined the temporal dynamics of the impact of symbols with task-irrelevant spatial meanings on attentional control. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants were color-cued to report the first letter they saw in the left or right of two parallel letter streams. The cue appeared in the shape of an arrow pointing to the target stream (compatible) or to the other stream (incompatib...
