Visual Search
• Search slope for shape singletons is flat. What does this tell us about shape and attention?
![Page 21: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Visual Search

![Page 22: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Visual Search
• Search Slopes can be flat for targets defined by:– color– orientation– curvature– motion– depth
• What does this imply about these features ?• What does it tell us about conjunctions of
features ?

Features and Objects in Visual Processing
![Page 24: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Visual World is an Arrangement of Features
• Color• Motion• Form• Depth• Orientation
![Page 25: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pre-attentive vs. Attentive Processing
• Pre-attentive processing– Does the visual system register some basic
features automatically (without attention)– if so, what features?– How would you know?
![Page 26: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Pre-attentive vs. Attentive Processing
• Indicators of Pre-attentive processing
– 1. processing precedes orienting - if you shift your attention to something or someplace because of some processing you did on the information there, you must have done that processing without attending
![Page 27: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pre-attentive vs. Attentive Processing
• Indicators of Pre-attentive processing
– 2. processing done in parallel - if you can process features of several objects simultaneously, you must have done that processing without attention
![Page 28: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Parts vs. Wholes
– We see wholes, but the visual system initially sees parts (i.e. features) of objects
![Page 29: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Parts vs. Wholes
• For example:
We see two rectangles, but the visual pathways initially detects small lines with some orientation
![Page 30: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Parts vs. Wholes
• Simple features form boundaries
We see two rectangles, but the visual pathways initially detects small circles with some color
![Page 31: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Parts vs. Wholes
• Conjunctions don’t form boundaries
We see only one rectangle (at least initially) because the boundaries of the inner one are made of conjunctions – these require attention to be perceived
![Page 32: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
“Early parsing of the visual field is mediated by separate properties, not by particular combinations of properties”
![Page 33: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What does Treisman conclude from this observation?
• “Analysis of properties and parts precedes their synthesis”
• What is the “strong prediction” Treisman makes?
![Page 34: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Illusory Conjunctions
• “errors of synthesis”
![Page 35: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Illusory Conjunctions
• Identify the letter on the left of the screen and the digit on the right

Illusory Conjunctions
What colored shapes did you see?
![Page 38: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Illusory Conjunctions
• Illusory conjunction - when perceived combination of attributes was not present
![Page 39: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Illusory Conjunctions
• Illusory conjunction - when perceived combination of attributes was not present
• Supports notion that primitive features are processed independently and then bound together to form objects
• This binding process is thought to require attention focused on the location of the object to be bound
![Page 40: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Treisman’s Feature Integration Theory
•Early visual system parses scene into features represented in “feature maps”
•“Attention Spotlight” can be moved across an overlay of these feature maps
•Focused attention is required to “bind” features together into objects
![Page 41: Reminder: extra credit experiments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517f342550346d5568b4c6b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Next Time: Attention and Consciousness
• Sensory information must be attended for it to be entered into awareness
