Spatial attention and the apprehension of spatial relations.

Spatial attention and the apprehension of spatial relations.

Seven experiments examined the role of spatial attention in apprehending spatial relations above, below, left, and right. In Experiment 1, visual search was difficult when targets differed from distractors only in the spatial relation between their elements. Reaction time increased linearly with display size with a slope greater than 60 ms/item. In Experiment 2, search was easy (the slope was f...

Distance and distraction effects in the apprehension of spatial relations.

Theories of the apprehension of spatial relations differ in the predictions they make about the effects of distance between the arguments of spatial relations and the effects of distracting stimuli presented along with the arguments. One theory predicts no effect of distance, another predicts a monotonic increase in reaction time (RT) with distance, and a third predicts a monotonic decrease. Mo...
