Computational and Experimental Evaluation of the Attentional Blink: Testing The Simultaneous Type Serial Token Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A reduced version of the Simultaneous Type Serial Token Model is presented. This model embraces two theories of temporal attention: Chun and Potter’s two-stage theory and Kanwisher’s types-tokens theory. We explain the proposed model and show how it reproduces key data from the Attentional Blink phenomenon. In addition, we verify experimentally predictions arising from the model.

The attentional blink provides episodic distinctiveness: sparing at a cost.
The attentional blink (J. E. Raymond, K. L. Shapiro, & K. M. Arnell, 1992) refers to an apparent gap in perception observed when a second target follows a first within several hundred milliseconds. Theoretical and computational work have provided explanations for early sets of blink data, but more recent data have challenged these accounts by showing that the blink is attenuated when subjects e...
متن کاملTransient Attentional Enhancement during the Attentional Blink: Eeg Correlates of the St Model
There has been considerable recent interest in the identification of neural correlates of the Attentional Blink (AB), and the development of neurally explicit computational models. A prominent example is the Simultaneous Type Serial Token (ST2) model, which suggests that when the visual system detects a task-relevant item, a spatially specific Transient Attentional Enhancement (TAE), called the...
متن کاملA reciprocal relationship between bottom-up trace strength and the attentional blink bottleneck: relating the LC-NE and ST(2) models.
There is considerable current interest in neural modeling of the attentional blink phenomenon. Two prominent models of this task are the Simultaneous Type Serial Token (ST(2)) model and the Locus Coeruleus-Norepinephrine (LC-NE) model. The former of these generates a broad spectrum of behavioral data, while the latter provides a neurophysiologically detailed account. This paper explores the rel...
متن کاملThe simultaneous type, serial token model of temporal attention and working memory.
A detailed description of the simultaneous type, serial token (ST2) model is presented. ST2 is a model of temporal attention and working memory that encapsulates 5 principles: (a) M. M. Chun and M. C. Potter's (1995) 2-stage model, (b) a Stage 1 salience filter, (c) N. G. Kanwisher's (1987, 1991) types-tokens distinction, (d) a transient attentional enhancement, and (e) a mechanism for associat...
متن کاملAttentional episodes in visual perception.
Is one's temporal perception of the world truly as seamless as it appears? This article presents a computationally motivated theory suggesting that visual attention samples information from temporal episodes (episodic simultaneous type/serial token model; Wyble, Bowman, & Nieuwenstein, 2009). Breaks between these episodes are punctuated by periods of suppressed attention, better known as the at...
