Visual Attention during Spatial Language Comprehension
Spatial terms such as "above", "in front of", and "on the left of" are all essential for describing the location of one object relative to another object in everyday communication. Apprehending such spatial relations involves relating linguistic to object representations by means of attention. This requires at least one attentional shift, and models such as the Attentional Vector Sum (AVS) pred...
متن کاملShifts of Attention During Spatial Language Comprehension - A Computational Investigation
Regier and Carlson (2001) have investigated the processing of spatial prepositions and developed a cognitive model that formalizes how spatial prepositions are evaluated against depicted spatial relations between objects. In their Attentional Vector Sum (AVS) model, a population of vectors is weighted with visual attention, rooted at the reference object and pointing to the located object. The ...
متن کاملModeling the Directionality of Attention During Spatial Language Comprehension
It is known that the comprehension of spatial prepositions involves the deployment of visual attention. For example, consider the sentence “The salt is to the left of the stove”. Researchers [29,30] have theorized that people must shift their attention from the stove (the reference object, RO) to the salt (the located object, LO) in order to comprehend the sentence. Such a shift was also implic...
متن کاملVisual attention during spatial language comprehension: Is a referential linking hypothesis enough?
When people listen to sentences referring to objects and events in visual context, their visual attention to objects is closely time-locked to words in the unfolding utterance. How precisely people deploy attention during situated language understanding and in verifying (spatial) utterances is, however, unclear. A ‘visual world’ hypothesis suggests that we look at what is mentioned (Tanenhaus e...
متن کاملSpatial language, visual attention, and perceptual simulation.
Spatial language descriptions, such as The bottle is over the glass, direct the attention of the hearer to particular aspects of the visual world. This paper asks how they do so, and what brain mechanisms underlie this process. In two experiments employing behavioural and eye tracking methodologies we examined the effects of spatial language on people's judgements and parsing of a visual scene....
