Investigating attention in complex visual search
How we attend to and search for objects in the real world is influenced by a host of low-level and higher-level factors whose interactions are poorly understood. The vast majority of studies approach this issue by experimentally controlling one or two factors in isolation, often under conditions with limited ecological validity. We present a comprehensive regression framework, together with a m...
متن کاملDivided attention and visual search for simple versus complex features
Under what search conditions does attention affect perceptual processes, resulting in capacity limitations, rather than affecting noisy decision-making processes? Does parallel or serial processing cause the capacity limitations? To address these issues, we varied stimulus complexity, set size, and whether distractors were mirror images of the target. Both target detection and localization prod...
متن کاملFocal attention in visual search
Visual search operates in different modes assumed to reflect serial and parallel processing. The basis of this distinction is not yet clear. It is often assumed that serial search involves sequential shifts of focal attention across a scene and that no such shifts occur in parallel search. Direct measurements of attention effects during search show that the focus of attention moves to the targe...
متن کاملVisual Span in Comparative Search 1 Running head: VISUAL SPAN IN COMPARATIVE SEARCH Investigating the Visual Span in Comparative Search: The Effects of Task Difficulty and Divided Attention
In three experiments, participants’ visual span was measured in a comparative visual search task in which they had to detect a local match or mismatch between two displays presented side by side. Experiment 1 manipulated the difficulty of the comparative visual search task by contrasting a mismatch detection task with a substantially more difficult match detection task. In Experiment 2, partici...
متن کاملVisual search and selective attention
Visual search is a key paradigm in attention research that has proved to be a test bed for competing theories of selective attention. The starting point for most current theories of visual search has been Treisman’s ‘‘feature integration theory’’ of visual attention (e.g., Treisman & Gelade, 1980). A number of key issues that have been raised in attempts to test this theory are still pertinent ...
