ABSTRACT
Such acts of visual attention are the subject of this chapter. Because we cannot process everything, we must attend to something if we are to act on the basis of visual input. Attention is a thriving area of research. The goal of this chapter is to introduce the reader to those aspects of the field most relevant to vision research. In many cases, that introduction is quite cursory with the text serving as an annotated bibliography pointing the reader to the relevant papers. The chapter is divided into four sections: A) Vision before attention - Looking at Figure One, you saw something before you knew if that something included a black triangle surrounding a white square. What visual information is available {"}preattentively{"}, before attention is directed to a locus or an object? B) Vision with attention - Most of vision research involves vision with attention since subjects are generally asked to perform some task while attending to some visual stimulus. How does attention alter a preattentive visual representation? C) Vision after attention - Assuming that attention is restricted in space and time, does it leave any marks of its passage once it has been deployed away from a stimulus? D) Vision without attention - In some situations it is meaningful to ask about the fate of stimuli that are never attended. This is related to, but not identical to, the question of vision before attention. |
