Stages of Selection
• Testing Early Selection Theory - what prediction can be made?
![Page 4: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Stages of Selection
• Testing Early Selection Theory - what prediction can be made?
• Information (such as words) in unattended channel shouldn’t be processed for meaning
![Page 5: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Stages of Selection
• Testing Early Selection Theory - what prediction can be made?
• Information (such as words) in unattended channel shouldn’t be processed for meaning - but we saw that this doesn’t hold true for one’s own name
• Demonstrates that Early Selection Theory is not entirely correct

Stages of Selection
• Testing Early Selection Theory - what is another prediction that can be made?
![Page 7: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Stages of Selection
• Testing Early Selection Theory - what is another prediction that can be made?
• Should be able to find that attention changes brain activity in primary sensory areas (A1, V1)
![Page 8: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stages of Selection
• Electrical activity recorded at scalp (EEG) shows differences between attended and unattended stimuli in A1 within 90 ms
Hansen & Hillyard (1980)

Stages of Selection
• Evidence exists for both early and late selection mechanisms
– One interpretation: early reduction in “sensory gain” followed by late suppression of unselected information

Control of Attention
• Major Distinctions:
Voluntary Reflexive
![Page 12: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Voluntary Orienting
• shifting attention by willfully selecting a location in space (or a frequency of sound)
• e.g. eye movements in a scene depend on what the observer is looking for
Eye movements (overt orienting)
![Page 14: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Voluntary Orienting
• Attention can be oriented covertly – a commonly used metaphor is “the
spotlight of attention”

Orienting Attention
• Posner Cue - Target Paradigm:
Subject presses a button as soon as x appears

Paradigms Used To Study Attention
• Posner Cue - Target Paradigm:
Attention Effect = Valid RT - Invalid RT
![Page 29: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Voluntary Orienting
• Under what circumstances would a cue lead to a voluntary shift of attention?
![Page 30: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Voluntary Orienting
• Under what circumstances would a cue lead to a voluntary shift of attention?– Informative cue– Validity = greater than 50%
![Page 31: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Voluntary Orienting
• Under what circumstances would a cue lead to a voluntary shift of attention?– Informative cue– Validity = greater than 50%
• What is another way to make this paradigm a voluntary orienting paradigm?
![Page 32: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Voluntary Orienting
• What is another way to make this paradigm a voluntary orienting paradigm?
Symbolic cues may orient attention towards another location.Stimulus cues orient attention to the stimulated location.
Symbolic Cue

Reflexive Orienting
• Attention can be automatically “summoned” to a location at which an important event has occurred:
![Page 34: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Reflexive Orienting
• Attention can be automatically “summoned” to a location at which an important event has occurred:– Loud noise– Motion– New Object
• We call this attentional capture

Reflexive Orienting
• The Posner cueing paradigm (with blinking boxes) confounds reflexive and voluntary orienting
… in what way?
![Page 36: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Reflexive Orienting
• The Posner cueing paradigm (with blinking boxes) confounds reflexive and voluntary orienting
• How could we change the Posner cueing paradigm to make it asses only reflexive orienting?
![Page 37: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Reflexive Orienting
• The Posner cueing paradigm (with blinking boxes) confounds reflexive and voluntary orienting
• How could we change the Posner cueing paradigm to make it asses only reflexive orienting?
• Make validity 50% (non-informative cue)
![Page 38: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Reflexive Orienting
• The Posner cueing paradigm (with blinking boxes) confounds reflexive and voluntary orienting
• How could we change the Posner cueing paradigm to make it asses only reflexive orienting?
• Make validity 50% (non-informative cue)
• Viewers are still faster and more accurate!

Reflexive Orienting
• Can symbolic cues be reflexive?
Almost never but …

Reflexive Orienting
• Can symbolic cues be reflexive?
Reflexive orienting to direction of eye gaze
![Page 41: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Reflexive Orienting
• Potential cues for Reflexive Orienting– Loud noise– Motion– New Object
• New Objects are powerful attention grabbers!

New Objects Capture Attention
IS THERE AN “H”?
Initial scene viewed for several hundred ms
Yantis & Jonides (1990): New-Object Paradigm
![Page 43: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
New Objects Capture Attention
New scene: search for target letter
IS THERE AN “H”?
Yantis & Jonides (1990): New-Object Paradigm
H may be revealed from an 8 or may appear as a new object
![Page 44: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Reflexive Orienting
• Steven Yantis and colleagues– Result:
![Page 45: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Reflexive Orienting
• Steven Yantis and colleagues– Result:
Targets are found faster when they are “new objects” than when they are revealed from “old” objects
![Page 46: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Reflexive Orienting
• Steven Yantis and colleagues– Interpretation:
The visual system prioritizes in dealing with visual objects - relatively recent objects are “flagged” while older objects are disregarded
![Page 47: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Attention and Consciousness
• Sensory information must be attended for it to be entered into awareness
![Page 48: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Attention and Consciousness
• The attention orienting mechanism can be confused leading to something called “change blindness”
![Page 49: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Attention and Consciousness
• Change blindness
– Change blindness shows us that the feeling of being in a detailed visual environment is really just an illusion
– We only have access to the parts of the scene to which we have attended
![Page 50: Read article by Anne Treisman. Stages of Selection](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d405503460f94a199c4/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Attention and Consciousness
• Change blindness
– Change blindness shows us that the feeling of being in a detailed visual environment is really just an illusion
– We only have access to the parts of the scene to which we have attended
– And that is often not very much!
