Attentional capture by color without any relevant attentional set.
The aim of the present study was to investigate mechanisms underlying attentional capture by color. Previous work has shown that a color singleton is able to summon attention only in the presence of a relevant attentional set, whereas when a color singleton is not useful for a task, evidence for purely stimulus-driven attentional capture is controversial. Three visual search experiments (T-L ta...
متن کاملContingent attentional capture by conceptually relevant images.
Attentional capture is an unintentional shift of visuospatial attention to the location of a distractor that is either highly salient, or relevant to the current task set. The latter situation is referred to as contingent capture, in that the effect is contingent on a match between characteristics of the stimuli and the task-defined attentional-control settings of the viewer. Contingent capture...
متن کاملAttentional window and attentional capture 1 THE SIZE OF AN ATTENTIONAL WINDOW MODULATES ATTENTIONAL CAPTURE BY COLOR SINGLETONS
It has been proposed that during visual search a color singleton cannot capture attention in a bottom-up fashion (Jonides & Yantis, 1988). In the present study we manipulated the size of the attentional window by asking participants to detect either a global (diffuse attention) or a local shape (focused attention) before starting the search for a non-singleton target. We demonstrate that increa...
متن کاملAttentional capture by salient color singleton distractors is modulated by top-down dimensional set.
Three experiments examined whether salient color singleton distractors automatically interfere with the detection singleton form targets in visual search (e.g., J. Theeuwes, 1992), or whether the degree of interference is top-down modulable. In Experiments 1 and 2, observers started with a pure block of trials, which contained either never a distractor or always a distractor (0% or 100% distrac...
متن کاملFeature specificity in attentional capture by size and color.
Top-down guidance of visual attention has classically been thought to operate in a feature-specific manner. However, recent studies have shown that top-down visual attention can also be guided by information about target-nontarget feature relations (e.g., larger, redder, brighter). Here we recommend a minimal set of cues for differentiating between relational and feature-specific attentional gu...
