Spatial Orienting Biases in the Decimal Numeral System
Humans map numbers upon a mental number line (MNL) on which small integers are placed to the left of larger ones [1-9]. Here, we show that human adults systematically shift the subjective midpoints of number intervals away from the borders separating contiguous tens along the MNL. Number intervals are erroneously bisected further to the right the closer they are to the left starting point of th...
متن کاملNeural correlates of the automatic and goal-driven biases in orienting spatial attention.
How do stimuli in the environment interact with the goals of observers? We addressed this question by showing that the relevance of an abruptly appearing visual object (cue) changes how observers orient attention toward a subsequent object (target) and how this target is represented in the activity of neurons in the superior colliculus. Initially after the appearance of the cue, attention is dr...
متن کاملSpatial biases in viewing behavior.
Viewing behavior exhibits temporal and spatial structure that is independent of stimulus content and task goals. One example of such structure is horizontal biases, which are likely rooted in left-right asymmetries of the visual and attentional systems. Here, we studied the existence, extent, and mechanisms of this bias. Left- and right-handed subjects explored scenes from different image categ...
متن کاملOrienting of spatial attention in Huntington's Disease.
To explore the functioning of spatial attention in Huntington's Disease (HD), 14 HD patients and 14 age-matched controls performed a cued response time (RT) task with peripheral cues. In Experiment 1, cues were not informative about the future target location, thus eliciting a purely exogenous orienting of attention. At short stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA), controls showed an initial facilitat...
متن کاملVisual - Spatial Orienting in Autism 1
Visual-spatial orienting in high-functioning adults with autism and both chronologicaland mental-age normal controls was examined. Three experiments were conducted in which stimuli were presented centrally and~or laterally (left or right of central fixation), and either detection or identification was required. The group with autism differed from normal controls by responding faster to central ...
