Attention delays perceived stimulus offset
Yeshurun and Levy (2003) [Transient spatial attention degrades temporal resolution. Psychological Science, 14, 225 -231.] have suggested that visual attention enhances the activation of the parvocellular system and thus delays the perceived offset of a stimulus. We tested this assumption in a spatial cueing paradigm in which participants responded to stimulus offset. Consistent with this assump...
متن کاملHow Attention Affects Spatial Resolution.
We summarize and discuss a series of psychophysical studies on the effects of spatial covert attention on spatial resolution, our ability to discriminate fine patterns. Heightened resolution is beneficial in most, but not all, visual tasks. We show how endogenous attention (voluntary, goal driven) and exogenous attention (involuntary, stimulus driven) affect performance on a variety of tasks me...
متن کاملEye Position Affects Orienting of Visuospatial Attention
The ability to detect an incoming visual stimulus is enhanced by knowledge of stimulus location (orienting of visuospatial attention). Although the brain mechanisms at the basis of this enhancement are not yet fully clarified, there is evidence that orienting of attention is accompanied by the activation of oculomotor circuits. It remains unclear, however, whether this oculomotor activity is an...
متن کاملStimulus-driven Shifts of Spatial Attention
Turning the eyes and the head to an object when it suddenly appears in the visual f ield, producing what is called exploration behavior, is a common experience for everyone. Sokolov (1963) described this phenomenon as the orienting reflex. The purpose of the orienting reflex is to allow the central system to identify the new element that has just occurred in order to prepare the whole organism ...
متن کاملVoluntary attention increases perceived spatial frequency.
Voluntary covert attention selects relevant sensory information for prioritized processing. The behavioral and neural consequences of such selection have been extensively documented, but its phenomenology has received little empirical investigation. Involuntary attention increases perceived spatial frequency (Gobell & Carrasco, 2005), but involuntary attention can differ from voluntary attentio...
