Prioritization in visual search: visual marking is not dependent on a mnemonic search.
Visual marking (VM) refers to our ability to completely exclude old items from search when new stimuli are presented in our visual field. We examined whether this ability reflects an attentional scan of the old items, possibly allowing observers to apply inhibition of return or maintain a memory representation of already seen locations. In four experiments, we compared performance in two search...
متن کاملVisual search enhances subsequent mnemonic search.
We examined how the performance of a visual search task while studying a list of to-be-remembered words affects subsequent memory for those words by humans. Previous research had suggested that episodic context encoding is facilitated when the study phase of a memory experiment requires, or otherwise encourages, a visual search for the to-be-remembered stimuli, and theta-band oscillations are m...
متن کاملParallel inhibitory marking in visual search
The experiment reported in this chapter examined inhibitory selection in parallel visual search (Müller & von Mühlenen, 2000). In a dual-task paradigm, participants had to search for a target amongst distractors in a “pop-out” search task. Distractor inhibition was measured using a probe-stimulus method: A simple luminance increment (probe) followed the search task response at display locations...
متن کاملPrioritization by transients in visual search.
There is an ongoing debate as to whether prioritizing new objects over old objects (the so-called preview benefit) is the result of top-down inhibition of old objects (i.e., visual marking; Watson & Humphreys, 1997) or attentional allocation to new objects, presented with a luminance transient (Donk & Theeuwes, 2001). In the two experiments reported here, we tested whether prioritization by lum...
متن کاملVisual marking and the perception of salience in visual search.
In the present study, the gap paradigm originally developed by Watson and Humphreys (1997) was used to investigate whether the process of visual marking can influence the perceptual salience of a target in visual search. Consistent with previous studies (Watson & Humphreys, 1997), the results showed that search was not affected by the presence of the preceding distractors when the target was re...
