Similarity relations in visual search predict rapid visual categorization.
How do we perform rapid visual categorization?It is widely thought that categorization involves evaluating the similarity of an object to other category items, but the underlying features and similarity relations remain unknown. Here, we hypothesized that categorization performance is based on perceived similarity relations between items within and outside the category. To this end, we measured...
متن کاملVisual search and stimulus similarity.
A new theory of search and visual attention is presented. Results support neither a distinction between serial and parallel search nor between search for features and conjunctions. For all search materials, instead, difficulty increases with increased similarity of targets to nontargets and decreasedsimilarity between nontargets, producing a continuum of search efficiency. A parallel stage of p...
متن کاملVisual similarity effects in categorical search.
We asked how visual similarity relationships affect search guidance to categorically defined targets (no visual preview). Experiment 1 used a web-based task to collect visual similarity rankings between two target categories, teddy bears and butterflies, and random-category objects, from which we created search displays in Experiment 2 having either high-similarity distractors, low-similarity d...
متن کاملVisual similarity is stronger than semantic similarity in guiding visual search for numbers.
Using a visual search task, we explored how behavior is influenced by both visual and semantic information. We recorded participants' eye movements as they searched for a single target number in a search array of single-digit numbers (0-9). We examined the probability of fixating the various distractors as a function of two key dimensions: the visual similarity between the target and each distr...
متن کاملRapid size scaling in visual search
In order to compute a representation of an object's size within a 3D scene, the visual system must scale retinal size by an estimate of the distance to the object. Evidence from size discrimination and visual search studies suggests that we have no access to the representation of retinal size when performing such tasks. In this study we investigate whether observers have early access to retinal...
