Conceptual and methodological concerns in the theory of perceptual load
The present paper provides a short critical review of the theory of perceptual load. It closely examines the basic tenets and assumptions of the theory and identifies major conceptual and methodological problems that have been largely ignored in the literature. The discussion focuses on problems in the definition of the concept of perceptual load, on the circularity in the characterization and ...
متن کاملAuditory perceptual load: A review
Selective attention is a crucial mechanism in everyday life, allowing us to focus on a portion of incoming sensory information at the expense of other less relevant stimuli. The circumstances under which irrelevant stimuli are successfully ignored have been a topic of scientific interest for several decades now. Over the last 20 years, the perceptual load theory (e.g. Lavie, 1995) has provided ...
متن کاملPerceptual biases and positive schizotypy: The role of perceptual load
The study investigated the effects of perceptual load on the bias to report seeing non-existing events—a bias associated with positive symptoms of schizophrenia and positive schizotypal symptoms. Undergraduate students completed psychometric measures of schizotypy and were asked to detect fast moving words among non-words under different levels of perceptual load. Perceptual load was manipulate...
متن کاملPerceptual Load and Color Singletons 1 Running head: PERCEPTUAL LOAD AND COLOR SINGLETONS Does Low Perceptual Load Enable Capture by Color Singletons?
There is considerable debate as to whether color singletons can capture attention in a stimulus-driven manner. In this study, we explore one potential capture enabling condition – low perceptual load. To test this hypothesis, we manipulated perceptual load in a flanker task in which flanking letters sometimes were color singletons. If low load enhances capture by color singletons, then color si...
