Study Notes
Visual Attention: Mechanisms and Phenomena
- Attention is a mechanism to filter large amounts of information to aid perception and action by enhancing selected inputs or suppressing irrelevant inputs.
- Neural evidence of attention was observed in a single cell recording study with Rhesus monkeys, showing larger responses to attended stimuli compared to unattended stimuli in the same location of the receptive field.
- Humans can accurately identify scenes presented for <100ms, despite a single saccade taking ~300ms, indicating rapid encoding of summary statistics of a set rather than individual items.
- Spatial attention can be metaphorically thought of as a spotlight developed to a particular region of space and is associated with different models like the Zoom-lens, overt attention, and covert attention.
- The Posner Cueing Task demonstrated that valid cues improve detection when the cue target onset asynchrony (CTOA) is <200ms, but inhibit detection when CTOA is >200ms, showing "inhibition of return" beginning about 250ms after onset.
- Top-down attention involves deliberately focusing attention on a relevant stimulus, while bottom-up attention is captured by the properties of the stimulus, such as salience.
- Gaze cueing with valid eye gaze cues improves target detection, even when participants know the cues are only valid on 50% of trials, indicating that eye gaze captures attention.
- Attentional blink refers to a temporary decrease in the probability of detecting a second target after identifying the first, with a lag of 200-500ms.
- Patient P.S. demonstrated hemispatial neglect, an inability to respond to visual stimuli in the contralesional visual field, despite normal vision and motor function, with treatments such as prismatic adaptation and rehabilitation available.
- Hemispatial neglect is much more common after right hemisphere strokes, and pseudoneglect is the tendency of healthy people to preferentially attend to the left side of space, with representational pseudoneglect apparent in recall and navigation.
- Visual search tasks can be feature search or conjunction search, and vigilance decrement, a decline in signal detection rate, is caused by shifting criterion, decline in sensitivity, and attentional lapses.
- Recent research suggests that a change in response threshold and attentional lapses are mostly responsible for vigilance decrement.
