Abrupt visual onsets and selective attention: voluntary versus automatic allocation.
The hypothesis that abrupt visual onsets capture attention automatically, as suggested by Yantis and Jonides (1984) was tested in four experiments. A centrally located cue directed attention to one of several stimulus positions in preparation for the identification of a target letter embedded in an array of distractor letters. In all experiments, one stimulus (either the target or one of the di...

متن کاملContributions of the dopaminergic system to voluntary and automatic orienting of visuospatial attention.
Visuospatial attention can be directed by voluntary or involuntary control independent of eye movement. The involvement of cortical and subcortical neural structures in this covert orienting mechanism has been studied using neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques. This study was designed to investigate the role of the dopaminergic system in both voluntary and automatic orienting mechan...
متن کاملDevelopment of Automatic and Voluntary Selective Attention: Evidence from a New Object Tracking Task
Selective attention is crucial for learning because it allows the learner a high degree of flexibility in attending to relevant information and filtering out information irrelevant to the task at hand. Research indicates that attentional selectivity is present from birth, such that newborns are not indifferent to what they attend to, and prefer to look at some visual stimuli over others (Fantz,...
متن کاملAutomatic and Voluntary Shifts of Attention in the Dimensional Change Card Sorting Task
Different theoretical approaches to word learning and categorization recognize importance of attentional flexibility, however they assume different mechanisms underlying this flexibility. According to one approach, attentional shifts in the course of word learning and categorization are automatic in nature. According to the alternative approach, these shifts may arise as a result of voluntary p...
