Ignoring famous faces: category-specific dilution of distractor interference.
The extent to which famous distractor faces can be ignored was assessed in six experiments. Subjects categorized famous printed target names as those of pop stars or politicians, while attempting to ignore a flanking famous face distractor that could be congruent (e.g, a politician's name and face) or incongruent (e.g., a politician's name with a pop stars face). Congruency effects on reaction ...
متن کاملIgnoring Irrelevant Facts and Operators in Plan Generation
It is traditional wisdom that one should start from the goals when generating a plan in order to focus the plan generation process on potentially relevant actions. The graphplan system, however, which is the most eecient planning system nowadays, builds a \planning graph" in a forward-chaining manner. Although this strategy seems to work well, it may possibly lead to problems if the planning ta...
متن کاملModulating irrelevant motion perception by varying attentional load in an unrelated task.
Lavie's theory of attention proposes that the processing load in a relevant task determines the extent to which irrelevant distractors are processed. This theory was tested by asking participants in a study to perform linguistic tasks of low or high load while ignoring irrelevant visual motion in the periphery of the display. Although task and distractor were unrelated, both functional imaging ...
متن کاملLow cognitive load strengthens distractor interference while high load attenuates when cognitive load and distractor possess similar visual characteristics.
Studies on visual cognitive load have reported inconsistent effects of distractor interference when distractors have visual characteristic that are similar to the cognitive load. Some studies have shown that the cognitive load enhances distractor interference, while others reported an attenuating effect. We attribute these inconsistencies to the amount of cognitive load that a person is require...
متن کاملVisual short-term memory load modulates the early attention and perception of task-irrelevant emotional faces
The ability to focus on task-relevant information, while suppressing distraction, is critical for human cognition and behavior. Using a delayed-match-to-sample (DMS) task, we investigated the effects of emotional face distractors (positive, negative, and neutral faces) on early and late phases of visual short-term memory (VSTM) maintenance intervals, using low and high VSTM loads. Behavioral re...
