Cueing effects of target location probability and repetition
The search performance for targets is improved when the targets appear in a specific location more frequently than in other locations. Although this phenomenon, called the "probability cueing effect," has been reported in past studies, it is unclear whether probability cueing is driven by statistical learning and/or intertrial facilitation of the target location. We investigated the underlying ...
متن کاملMotivational Influences on Attentional Scope
The influence of motivation on attentional scope was investigated using two triad classification tasks. Both tasks allowed subjects to make holistic matches or analytic matches. One of two situational regulatory focus states (promotion, prevention) was induced in subjects before completion of the triad tasks. It was predicted that a promotion focus would engender a preference for holistic match...
متن کاملWhy rare targets are slow: evidence that the target probability effect has an attentional locus.
Target probability has a well-known effect on detection times: Targets that occur with lower probability are detected more slowly than their higher-probability counterparts. A long-standing issue of interest is what causes this effect. In the two experiments of this study, we examined the possibility that the target probability effect has an attentional locus. We report two key findings that ar...
متن کاملDistinguishing influences of overt and covert attention in anticipatory attentional target tracking.
This study investigated the relative contributions of overt and covert attention on the apparent anticipatory nature of attention in two experiments, using two different object tracking tasks, both combined with a probe detection task. In Experiment 1, we investigated the distribution of attention for overtly and covertly tracked targets separately at low tracking load using a single-object tra...
متن کاملAttentional cueing at the saccade goal, not at the target location, facilitates saccades.
Presenting a behaviorally irrelevant cue shortly before a target at the same location decreases the latencies of saccades to the target, a phenomenon known as exogenous attention facilitation. It remains unclear whether exogenous attention interacts with early, sensory stages or later, motor planning stages of saccade production. To distinguish between these alternatives, we used a saccadic ada...
