Should I stay or should I go? Attentional disengagement from visually unique and unexpected items at fixation.
Distinctive aspects of a scene can capture attention even when they are irrelevant to one's goals. The authors address whether visually unique, unexpected, but task-irrelevant features also tend to hold attention. Observers searched through displays in which the color of each item was irrelevant. At the start of search, all objects changed color. Critically, the foveated item changed to an unex...
متن کاملDelayed disengagement of attention from snakes in children with autism
In the visual search task, it is well known that detection of a tilted straight line as the target among vertical lines that act as distractors is easier than vice versa, and that detection of a snake image as the target among flower images is easier than vice versa. In this study, the degree of such search asymmetry was compared between 18 children with autism and 14 typically developing (TD) ...
متن کاملFunctional fixedness: The functional significance of delayed disengagement based on attention set.
During search, the disengagement of attention is automatically delayed when a fixated but task-irrelevant object shares features of the search target. We examined whether delayed disengagement based on top-down attention set is potentially functional, resulting in additional processing of the fixated item. To accomplish this, we adapted the oculomotor disengagement paradigm. Participants saccad...
متن کاملThe disengagement of attentive resources from task-irrelevant cues to sexual and emotional infidelity
The present study tests two predictions derived from the evolutionary view of jealousy. (1) For men the disengagement of attentive resources from task-irrelevant cues to sexual infidelity is more difficult than from neutral or emotional infidelity cues. Conversely, for women the disengagement of attentive resources from task-irrelevant cues to emotional infidelity is more difficult than from ne...
متن کاملIrrelevant features at fixation modulate saccadic latency and direction in visual search
Do irrelevant visual features at fixation influence saccadic latency and direction? In a novel search paradigm, we found that when the feature of an irrelevant item at fixation matched the feature defining the target, oculomotor disengagement was delayed, and when it matched a salient distractor more eye movements were directed to that distractor. Latency effects were short-lived; direction eff...
