Lapse resistance in the verbal letter reporting task
Lapses, or misreporting errors, can affect accuracy of threshold measurements. Assumptions about lapse rate, especially in untrained observers, have consequently guided the design of at least one clinical psychophysical test. Lapse rate was assessed using a verbal letter identification paradigm like that used in visual acuity and letter contrast sensitivity testing. Subjects occasionally made s...
متن کاملVerbal vs. visual coding in modified mental imagery map exploration task
pictorial landmarks contained less familiar abstract textures from the paintings of the eminent abstract painters. Procedure: The experimental procedure was the same as in the first experiment. Data analysis: Four subjects with reaction time beyond 3 standard deviations (in any of the experimental situations) were excluded from the analyses. All participants completed control task. The data wer...
متن کاملThe absence of a visual stimulus can trigger task-set-independent attentional capture.
We investigated whether the absence of one item in a regularly spaced visual array (gap cue) captures attention in a task-set-independent fashion. Participants searched for a large target among medium-size distractors (size task) or a red target among gray distractors (color task). Target arrays were preceded by uninformative cue arrays that contained a color singleton or a gap cue. The N2pc co...
متن کاملTask-irrelevant stimulus salience affects visual search
The relative contributions of stimulus salience and task-related goals in guiding attention remain an issue of debate. Several studies have demonstrated that top-down factors play an important role, as they often override capture by salient irrelevant objects. However, Yantis and Egeth [Yantis, S., & Egeth, H. E. (1999). On the distinction between visual salience and stimulus-driven attentional...
متن کاملImplicit visual learning: how the task set modulates learning by determining the stimulus-response binding.
Implicit learning is one of the most fundamental learning mechanisms that enables humans to adapt to regularities inherent in the environment. Despite its high flexibility, it depends on constraints, such as selective attention. Here, we focused on the stimulus-to-response binding which defines the dimensions of the stimuli and the responses participants attend to. In a serial reaction time tas...
