Mechanisms of visual-spatial attention: resource allocation or uncertainty reduction?
Many studies have found that stimuli can be discriminated more accurately at attended locations than at unattended locations, and such results have typically been taken as evidence for the hypothesis that attention operates by allocating limited perceptual processing resources to attended locations. An alternative proposal, however, is that attention acts to reduce uncertainty about target loca...
متن کاملContrast discrimination with and without spatial uncertainty
The main purpose of these experiments was to examine in detail how successfully the uncertainty reduction explanation accounts for the effects of spatial cues in a temporal forced-choice contrast discrimination task in which any one of four well-separated Gabor patches is incremented. In preliminary experiments, it was shown that in the absence of uncorrelated contrast jitter, observers could u...
متن کاملSpatial-frequency bandwidth of perceived contrast
The aim of this study was to investigate the spatial-frequency bandwidth of perceived suprathreshold contrast. It has been shown that for grating stimuli contrast detection thresholds depend on spatial frequency, grating area and the number of orientation components. However, suprathreshold contrast perception exhibits contrast constancy, i.e. suprathreshold contrast matches are independent of ...
متن کاملSpatial-frequency and contrast properties of crowding
Crowding, the difficulty in recognizing a letter flanked by other letters, has been explained as a lateral masking effect. The purpose of this study was to examine the spatial-frequency and contrast dependencies of crowding, and to compare them with the properties of pattern masking. In experiment 1, we measured contrast thresholds for identifying the middle letters in strings of three randomly...
متن کاملSpatial frequency and visual discomfort
Images created from noise filtered to have an approximately 1/f amplitude spectrum were altered by adding excess energy concentrated at various spatial frequencies. The effects of this manipulation on judgements of visual discomfort were studied. Visual noise with a 1/f amplitude spectrum (typical of natural images) was judged more comfortable than any image with a relative increase in contrast...
