Distractor Suppression When Attention Fails: Behavioral Evidence for a Flexible Selective Attention Mechanism
Despite consistent evidence showing that attention is a multifaceted mechanism that can operate at multiple levels of processing depending on the structure and demands of the task, investigations of the attentional blink phenomenon have consistently shown that the impairment in reporting the second of two targets typically occurs at a late, or post-perceptual, stage of processing. This suggests...
متن کاملAttention selection, distractor suppression and N2pc.
N2pc is generally interpreted as the electrocortical correlate of the distractor-suppression mechanisms through which attention selection takes place in humans. Here, we present data that challenge this common N2pc interpretation. In Experiment 1, multiple distractors induced greater N2pc amplitudes even when they facilitated target identification, despite the suppression account of the N2pc pr...
متن کاملWhen cross-modal spatial attention fails.
There is now convincing evidence that an involuntary shift of spatial attention to a stimulus in one modality can affect the processing of stimuli in other modalities, but inconsistent findings across different paradigms have led to controversy. Such inconsistencies have important implications for theories of cross-modal attention. The authors investigated why orienting attention to a visual ev...
متن کاملDISTRACTOR SUPPRESSION & MEMORY 1 Not All Attention Orienting is Created Equal : Recognition Memory is Enhanced When Attention Orienting Involves Distractor Suppression
Learning through visual exploration requires orienting of attention to meaningful information in a cluttered world. Previous work has shown that attention modulates visual cortex activity, with enhanced activity for attended targets and suppressed activity for competing inputs, thus enhancing the visual experience. We hypothesized that attention orienting mechanisms that engage concurrent suppr...
متن کاملWhen does visual attention select all features of a distractor?
What happens after visual attention is allocated to an object? Although many theories of attention assume that all of its features are selected and processed, there has been little direct evidence that an irrelevant feature dimension of an attended nontarget is processed. In 5 experiments presented here, the authors used a singleton paradigm to investigate the effect of attention on nontarget o...
