L4- Control of attention
1. Stimulus-driven attention
Abrupt onsets capture attention
Yantis + Jonides (1984)
Onset targets faster
No effect of display size for onset targets
Abrupt onsets make search more efficient
Abrupt onsets capture attention automatically
2. Goal-driven attention
Spatial cueing tasks
, Cueing effects
What is the spatial extent of the spotlight of attention?
Spatial extent of attention
Efficient control of attention
Covert shifts in space to be efficient
Visual search- avoid revisiting the same locations
Inhibition of return (IOR)
- A preference for visiting novel locations
