Spatial attention in written word perception
The role of attention in visual word recognition and reading aloud is a long debated issue. Studies of both developmental and acquired reading disorders provide growing evidence that spatial attention is critically involved in word reading, in particular for the phonological decoding of unfamiliar letter strings. However, studies on healthy participants have produced contrasting results. The ai...
متن کاملSpatial Attention and Perception: Seeing without paint
Covert spatial attention alters the way things look. Objects situated at attended locations appear bigger, closer, if striped, stripier than qualitatively indiscernible counterparts whose locations are unattended. These results cannot be easily explained in terms of the number and kind of perceived properties of objects. Nor do they appear to be cases of visual illusions. Ned Block has argued t...
متن کاملBiased Attention to Spatial Dimensions Predicts Children's Spatial Word Acquisition
Children’s spatial language abilities relate to their spatial skills. We propose that this relation arises from attention to spatial dimensions influencing both spatial word and spatial skill acquisition. This study tests whether attending to spatial dimensions in a word learning task predicts spatial vocabulary. Three to 5-year-olds completed a novel word assessment testing categorization of a...
متن کاملLateralized perception: the role of attention in spatial relation processing.
Any spatial situation can be approached either categorically - the window is to my left - or coordinately - the glass is 20cm away from the bottle. Since the first description of the distinction between categorical and coordinate spatial relation processing, it has often been shown that they are processed by at least partially different underlying mechanisms, mainly located in the left and righ...
متن کاملThe role of visual spatial attention in audiovisual speech perception
Auditory and visual information is integrated when perceiving speech, as evidenced by the McGurk effect in which viewing an incongruent talking face categorically alters auditory speech perception. Audiovisual integration in speech perception has long been considered automatic and pre-attentive but recent reports have challenged this view. Here we study the effect of visual spatial attention on...
