This study documented the relative strength of task goals, visual statistical learning, and monetary reward in guiding spatial attention. Using a difficult T-among-L search task, we cued spatial attention to one visual quadrant by (i) instructing people to prioritize it (goal-driven attention), (ii) placing the target frequently there (location probability learning), or (iii) associating that q...

Paying attention to a sensory feature improves its perception and impairs that of others. Recent work has shown that a Normalization Model of Attention (NMoA) can account for a wide range of physiological findings and the influence of different attentional manipulations on visual performance. A key prediction of the NMoA is that attention to a visual feature like an orientation or a motion dire...

The normalization model of attention proposes that attention can affect performance by response- or contrast-gain changes, depending on the size of the stimulus and attention field. Here, we manipulated the attention field by emotional valence, negative faces versus positive faces, while holding stimulus size constant in a spatial cueing task. We observed changes in the cueing effect consonant ...

Ivan V. Lalić, a poet who marked the last decades of 20th century, belongs to group highly religious poets neo-symbolist movement. In existing criticism, biblical subtext his poetry has been noticed, but some moments have not given suf-fi-cient attention. And while motif Annunciation is much noticed and covered in other theophanic aspects little or no attention, even though they are precisely c...

Abstract An attempt is made to uncover the physical meaning and significance of obscure Lanczos tensor field which regarded as a potential Weyl field. Despite being fundamental building block any metric theory gravity, has not been paid proper attention it deserves. By providing an elucidation on this through its derivation in some particularly chosen spacetimes, we try find adequate interpreta...
