Attentional capture by masked colour singletons
We tested under which conditions a colour singleton of which an observer is unaware captures attention. To prevent visual awareness of the colour singleton, we used backward masking. We find that a masked colour singleton cue captures attention if it matches the observer's goal to search for target colours but not if it is task-irrelevant. This is also reflected in event-related potentials to t...
متن کاملN2pc and attentional capture by colour and orientation-singletons in pure and mixed visual search tasks.
The capture of attention by singleton stimuli in visual search is a matter of contention. Some authors propose that singletons capture attention in a bottom-up fashion if they are salient. Others propose that capture is contingent upon whether or not the stimuli share task-relevant attributes with the target. This study assessed N2pc elicited by colour and orientation singletons in a mixed task...
متن کاملAttentional and oculomotor capture with static singletons.
Previous research has shown that in visual search static singletons have the ability to capture attention (Theeuwes, 1991a, 1992). The present study investigated whether these singletons also have the ability to capture the eyes. Participants had to make an eye movement and respond manually to a shape singleton while a color singleton was present. When participants searched for a unique shape w...
متن کاملOculomotor capture by colour singletons depends on intertrial priming
In visual search, an irrelevant colour singleton captures attention when the colour of the distractor changes across trials (e.g., from red to green), but not when the colour remains constant (Becker, 2007). The present study shows that intertrial changes of the distractor colour also modulate oculomotor capture: an irrelevant colour singleton distractor was only selected more frequently than t...
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...
