Color, form and luminance capture attention in visual search
Extant models of visual attention predict that a salient element should produce a bottom-up activation leading to a stimulus-driven attentional capture (e.g. Cave, 1999). However, apart from onset, previous works manipulating set-size in visual search failed to provide empirical evidence for this kind of capture. By varying target-singelton distance method, based on a single set-size, we explor...
متن کاملColor and Luminance Contrasts Attract Independent Attention
Paying attention can improve vision in many ways, including some very basic functions such as contrast discrimination, a task that probably reflects very early levels of visual processing. Electrophysiological, psychophysical, and imaging studies on humans as well as single recordings in monkey show that attention can modulate the neuronal response at an early stage of visual processing, probab...
متن کاملDistractor heterogeneity, attention, and color in visual search
Experiments were designed to investigate the effects of set size and variation in the chromaticity of distractor stimuli on thresholds for detecting a target stimulus that differed from distractors only in chromaticity. Distractor chromaticities were selected from a line in the isoluminant color plane and targets were selected from lines approximately orthogonal to the distractor line. With uni...
متن کاملSize Matters: Large Objects Capture Attention in Visual Search
Can objects or events ever capture one's attention in a purely stimulus-driven manner? A recent review of the literature set out the criteria required to find stimulus-driven attentional capture independent of goal-directed influences, and concluded that no published study has satisfied that criteria. Here visual search experiments assessed whether an irrelevantly large object can capture atten...
متن کاملAttentional and oculomotor capture by onset, luminance and color singletons
In three experiments we investigated whether attentional and oculomotor capture occur only when object-defining abrupt onsets are used as distractors in a visual search task, or whether other salient stimuli also capture attention and the eyes even when they do not constitute new objects. The results showed that abrupt onsets (new objects) are especially effective in capturing attention and the...
