Visual Attention and Change Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies suggest that visual attention, guided in part by features’ visual salience, is necessary for change detection. An image processing algorithm was used for measuring the visual salience of the features of scenes, and participants’ ability to detect changes made to high and low salience features was measured with a flicker paradigm while their eye movements were recorded. Changes to high salience features were fixated sooner, for shorter durations, and were detected faster and with higher accuracy than those made to low salience features. The implications of these results for visual attention and change detection research are discussed.

Graph-based Visual Saliency Model using Background Color
Visual saliency is a cognitive psychology concept that makes some stimuli of a scene stand out relative to their neighbors and attract our attention. Computing visual saliency is a topic of recent interest. Here, we propose a graph-based method for saliency detection, which contains three stages: pre-processing, initial saliency detection and final saliency detection. The initial saliency map i...
متن کاملComparison of change detection performance and visual search patterns among children with/without ADHD: Evidence from eye movements.
BACKGROUND ADHD participants showed poorer change detection performance compared to participants without any diagnosis. The difficulty to detect changes in ADHD children might be due to their voluntary eye movement control and attentional deficits. AIMS To evaluate change detection performance and visual search patterns of children with ADHD and compare their performances with typically devel...
متن کاملAttentional Modulation of Change Detection ERP Components by Peripheral Retro-Cueing
Change detection is essential for visual perception and performance in our environment. However, observers often miss changes that should be easily noticed. A failure in any of the processes involved in conscious detection (encoding the pre-change display, maintenance of that information within working memory, and comparison of the pre and post change displays) can lead to change blindness. Giv...
متن کاملMapping visual attention with change blindness: new directions for a new method
Change blindness provides a new technique for mapping visual attention with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. Change blindness can occur when a brief full-field blank interferes with the detection of changes in a scene that occur during the blank. This interference can be overcome by attending to the location of a change. Because changes are detected at attended locations, but not ...
متن کاملLong-term memory guidance of visuospatial attention in a change-detection paradigm
Visual task performance is generally stronger in familiar environments. One reason for this familiarity benefit is that we learn where to direct our visual attention and effective attentional deployment enhances performance. Visual working memory plays a central role in supporting long-term memory guidance of visuospatial attention. We modified a change detection task to create a new paradigm f...
