Learning to suppress task-irrelevant visual stimuli with attention
While the importance of attention in perceptual learning is widely recognized, the mechanisms through which it affects learning are poorly understood. Here we show that attentional mechanisms themselves are modified during learning. Attentional suppression of task-irrelevant stimuli becomes more efficient with practice. Attentional learning was found to be stimulus-specific and to persist for s...
متن کاملTask Attention Facilitates Learning of Task-Irrelevant Stimuli
Attention plays a fundamental role in visual learning and memory. One highly established principle of visual attention is that the harder a central task is, the more attentional resources are used to perform the task and the smaller amount of attention is allocated to peripheral processing because of limited attention capacity. Here we show that this principle holds true in a dual-task setting ...
متن کاملTask-Irrelevant Blindsight and the Impact of Invisible Stimuli
Despite their subjective invisibility, stimuli presented within regions of absolute cortical blindness can both guide forced-choice behavior when they are task-relevant and modulate responses to visible targets when they are task-irrelevant. We here tested three hemianopic patients to learn whether their performance in an attention-demanding rapid serial visual presentation task would be affect...
متن کاملFacilitation of responses by task-irrelevant complex deviant stimuli.
Novel stimuli reliably attract attention, suggesting that novelty may disrupt performance when it is task-irrelevant. However, under certain circumstances novel stimuli can also elicit a general alerting response having beneficial effects on performance. In a series of experiments we investigated whether different aspects of novelty--stimulus novelty, contextual novelty, surprise, deviance, and...
متن کاملTask-irrelevant stimulus salience affects visual search
The relative contributions of stimulus salience and task-related goals in guiding attention remain an issue of debate. Several studies have demonstrated that top-down factors play an important role, as they often override capture by salient irrelevant objects. However, Yantis and Egeth [Yantis, S., & Egeth, H. E. (1999). On the distinction between visual salience and stimulus-driven attentional...
