Visual search reveals a critical component to shape.
Objects are often identified by the shape of their contours. In this study, visual search tasks were used to reveal a visual dimension critical to the analysis of the shape of a boundary-defined area. Points of maximum curvature on closed paths are important for shape coding and it was shown here that target patterns are readily identified among distractors if the angle subtended by adjacent cu...
متن کاملShape priming in a complex visual search task
Shape priming was studied in four experiments comprising a complex search task in which subjects searched for a target shape presented among three distractors and reported the location of the target. Localization performance improved as a function of the duration of stimulus exposure and prime lead time. The efficiency of shape primes in improving performance decreased when lateral masks were p...
متن کاملLinguistic cued attention in children: Words organize attention to shape in a visual search task
By one account of early word learning, children become proficient word learners as a result of environmental regularities: Learning words tunes the child to the regularities offered by the language being learned, orienting attention to those regularities. We test one core claim of this account, that count nouns should cue attention to the shape of the objects. Using a visual search task we pres...
متن کاملPoint-of-gaze analysis reveals visual search strategies
Seemingly complex tasks like visual search can be analyzed using a cognition-free, bottom-up framework. We sought to reveal strategies used by observers in visual search tasks using accurate eye tracking and image analysis at point of gaze. Observers were instructed to search for simple geometric targets embedded in 1/f noise. By analyzing the stimulus at the point of gaze using the classificat...
متن کاملThe guidance of visual search by shape features and shape configurations.
Representations of target features (attentional templates) guide attentional object selection during visual search. In many search tasks, targets objects are defined not by a single feature but by the spatial configuration of their component shapes. We used electrophysiological markers of attentional selection processes to determine whether the guidance of shape configuration search is entirely...
