|---|---|
| Motion after effect | the illusion of a stationary object that occurs after prolonged exposure to a moving object |

| attention | can make us more sensitive to some aspects of stimulation and or less sensitive to others |
| selection mechanisms | the nervous sys. provides selective processes that restrict processing to one or a few instances of incoming stimuli. |
| vision | the retina processes a scene selectively by limiting detailed vision of our all cone foveal vision |
| cortical magnification | guarantees that the selected foveal image will receive proportionately large amount of processing |
| cueing | cue is a stimulus that might indicate where or what a subsequent stimulus will be. can be valid, invalid, or neutral |
| visual search | observor looks for a target item among a number of distractors |
| simple probe detection | observer fixates on a point in the start probe, time passes and a test probe appears, observer presses key to indicate whether red dot is on left or right |
| dependent variable | is reaction time; a measure of the time from the onset of a stimulus to a response |
| used to control cue experiments | simple probe detection |
| spotlight model | attention can move from one point to the next. favored by cognitive psy. |
| zoom lens model | attention expands from fixation... grows to fill the whole region... and shrinks to include just the cued location. |
| visual search procedures are ....... than other experiments. | less artificial |
| feature search | a search for a target defined by a single attribute, such as a salient color or orientation |
| conjunction search | search for a target defined by the presence of two or more attributes. EG. red, vertical target among red horizontal and green vertical distractions |
| parallel processing | processing mulitple stimuli at the same time |
| serial self terminating search | items are examined one after another until found |
| limited capacity parallel process | a process that is capable of handling many stimuli at one time but the processes each item more slowly as the number of items increases |
| watering the garden with the adjustable spray nozzle on low | limited capacity parallel processing |
| Feature Integrationg Theory | holds that a limited st of basic features can be processed in parallel preattentively, but that other porperties, including correct binding of features to objects require attention. |
| preattentive stage | a limited set of parallel processors analyze basic feature across the entier field all at once |
| focused attention stage | processing after attention has been deployed. features are combined into a coherent whole |
| FIT two stages | preattentive, focused attention stage |
| binding problem | the challenge of tying diff. attributes of visual stimuli (eg. color, orientation, motion) which are handled bu diff. brain circuits, the appropriate object so that we perceive unified objects (red, verticle, moving right) |
| illusory conjunction | inaccurate combo. of features. |
| false combination | illusory conjunction |
| three ways that the responses of a cell could be changed by attention | enhancement, sharper tuning, altered tuning |
| neglect | inability to attend to or respond to stimuli in the contralesional visual field. EG. patient with left visual neglect wont see anything in left visual field |
| Balint syndrome | failure to attend to more than one object at a time. EG. when shown to objects (a red T and a blue O) patients may report a single illusory conjunction (blue T) |
| trouble reaching for an object, gaze fixedly ahead, can see only one object at a time | balint syndrome |
| change blindness | failure to notice a change between two scence if the meaning of the scene remains Unchanged |
| apeture problem | the fact that when a moving object is viewed through apeture, teh direction of motion of a local feature or part of teh object may be ambiguous. |
| tells visual system if their is movement | comparator |
| direct perception | is the use of environmental cues to generate a percept |
| mirror neuron | is a neuron which fires both when an animal performs an action and when the animal observes the same action performed by another (especially conspecific) animal. |
| inattentional blindness | an observed phenomenon of the inability to perceive features in a visual scene when the observer is not attending to them. |
| three ways a response of a cell could be changed by attention | enhancement, sharper tuning, altered tuning |
| response enhancement | a neuron responding to an attended stimulus might just give a bigger response. |
| sharper tuning | might cause neuron to respond more quickly |
