Linguistic cued attention in children: Words organize attention to shape in a visual search task
By one account of early word learning, children become proficient word learners as a result of environmental regularities: Learning words tunes the child to the regularities offered by the language being learned, orienting attention to those regularities. We test one core claim of this account, that count nouns should cue attention to the shape of the objects. Using a visual search task we pres...
متن کاملAffirmative Cue Words in Task-Oriented Dialogue
We present a series of studies of affirmative cue words—a family of cue words such as “okay” or “alright" that speakers use frequently in conversation. These words pose a challenge for spoken dialogue systems because of their ambiguity: They may be used for agreeing with what the interlocutor has said, indicating continued attention, or for cueing the start of a new topic, among other meanings....
متن کاملLifespan Changes in Attention: the Visual Search Task
There are two popular frameworks for the study of visual attention. Treisman’s Feature Integration Theory focuses on the effortful process of binding together the multiple attributes of an object. Posner’s Visual Orienting Theory emphasizes the movement of an attentional spotlight across space. Although both aspects are undoubtedly important in any visual search task, it is not clear how each o...
متن کاملAttention capacity and task difficulty in visual search.
When a visual search task is very difficult (as when a small feature difference defines the target), even detection of a unique element may be substantially slowed by increases in display set size. This has been attributed to the influence of attentional capacity limits. We examined the influence of attentional capacity limits on three kinds of search task: difficult feature search (with a subt...
متن کاملFlexible cue combination in the guidance of attention in visual search.
Hodsoll and Humphreys (2001) have assessed the relative contributions of stimulus-driven and user-driven knowledge on linearly- and nonlinearly separable searches. However, the target feature used to determine linear separability in their task (i.e., target size) was required to locate the target. In the present work, we investigated the contributions of stimulus-driven and user-driven knowledg...
