Learning to suppress task-irrelevant visual stimuli with attention
While the importance of attention in perceptual learning is widely recognized, the mechanisms through which it affects learning are poorly understood. Here we show that attentional mechanisms themselves are modified during learning. Attentional suppression of task-irrelevant stimuli becomes more efficient with practice. Attentional learning was found to be stimulus-specific and to persist for s...
متن کاملInterplay between semantic and emotional information in visual scene processing
We examined whether and how image’s semantics and emotion content interact during visual processing. In each trial, we briefly presented two emotional or neutral images (a scene context and an object), manipulating the semantic consistency and the emotional consistency of the pair. Participants categorised one image semantically or emotionally. Semantic categorisation was overall better than em...
متن کاملTask Attention Facilitates Learning of Task-Irrelevant Stimuli
Attention plays a fundamental role in visual learning and memory. One highly established principle of visual attention is that the harder a central task is, the more attentional resources are used to perform the task and the smaller amount of attention is allocated to peripheral processing because of limited attention capacity. Here we show that this principle holds true in a dual-task setting ...
متن کاملVisual short-term memory load modulates the early attention and perception of task-irrelevant emotional faces
The ability to focus on task-relevant information, while suppressing distraction, is critical for human cognition and behavior. Using a delayed-match-to-sample (DMS) task, we investigated the effects of emotional face distractors (positive, negative, and neutral faces) on early and late phases of visual short-term memory (VSTM) maintenance intervals, using low and high VSTM loads. Behavioral re...
متن کاملTask-irrelevant stimulus salience affects visual search
The relative contributions of stimulus salience and task-related goals in guiding attention remain an issue of debate. Several studies have demonstrated that top-down factors play an important role, as they often override capture by salient irrelevant objects. However, Yantis and Egeth [Yantis, S., & Egeth, H. E. (1999). On the distinction between visual salience and stimulus-driven attentional...
