1, this is true for long, but not short, postmasked exposures. In other words, the less time I. INTRODUCTION Attention has been likened to a spotlight, but does it really help us see better? Specifically, we address the controversy regarding whether we can better analyze one part of a scene when allowed to ignore others. There are at least three popular paradigms in which the ability to attend is systematically modified. Here we concentrate on two: visual search and spatial cuing. Concurrent tasks, which tap observers’ abilities to generate independent responses to multiple visual Neurobiology of Attention 8 Copyright 2005, Elsevier, Inc.
Solomon ABSTRACT targets, have also been used to assess attention’s effect on spatial discrimination. However, limited memory can produce failures of independence as easily as a sensory bottleneck. For that reason, we reserve the results from these dual-report experiments for another discussion. When observers are searching for a single target among multiple distracters, accuracy usually decreases with the number of distracters (the set-size effect). Set-size effects have been measured to seek evidence for a limit on the capacity for spatial discriminations.
