Feature Conjunctions in Visual Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
Selective Tuning (ST) [1] presents a framework for modeling attention and in this paper we show how it performs in visual search tasks. Two types of tasks are presented, a motion search task and an object search task. Both tasks are successfully tested with different feature and conjunction visual searches.

Efficient Visual Search without Top-down or Bottom-up Guidance: A Putative Role for Perceptual Organization
Two types of mechanisms have dominated theoretical accounts of efficient visual search. First are bottom-up processes related to the hypothesized characteristics of retinotopic feature maps. Second are top-down mechanisms related to feature selection. Little effort has been made to understand visual search in terms of perceptual grouping despite its acknowledged importance in general visual per...
متن کاملEfficient visual search without top-down or bottom-up guidance.
Two types of mechanisms have dominated theoretical accounts of efficient visual search. The first are bottom-up processes related to the characteristics of retinotopic feature maps. The second are top-down mechanisms related to feature selection. To expose the potential involvement of other mechanisms, we introduce a new search paradigm whereby a target is defined only in a context-dependent ma...
متن کاملBound to guide: A surprising, preattentive role for conjunctions in visual search
According to Guided Search (and similar models), features are only conjoined once an object is attended. This assertion is supported by many experiments: e.g. conjunctions of features do not pop-out in visual search and observers are poor at judging proportions of different types of conjunctions in displays. Thus, observers appear to be insensitive to the preattentive conjunctions of features. ...
متن کاملGuided search: an alternative to the feature integration model for visual search.
Subjects searched sets of items for targets defined by conjunctions of color and form, color and orientation, or color and size. Set size was varied and reaction times (RT) were measured. For many unpracticed subjects, the slopes of the resulting RT X Set Size functions are too shallow to be consistent with Treisman's feature integration model, which proposes serial, self-terminating search for...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms of feature conjunction learning: enduring changes in occipital cortex after a week of training.
Most visual activities, whether reading, driving, or playing video games, require rapid detection and identification of learned patterns defined by arbitrary conjunctions of visual features. Initially, such detection is slow and inefficient, but it can become fast and efficient with training. To determine how the brain learns to process conjunctions of visual features efficiently, we trained pa...
