Attention

Abstract: The amount of information available to our senses greatly exceeds the information processing capacity of our brain. This chapter reviews what is known about how the selectivity of attention allows us to deal with this overload. One major focus of the chapter concerns the efficiency of selection. A discussion of early research that was driven by the question of whether selection was early or late in the information processing stream is followed by a more general consideration of the factors affecting the effici… Show more

“…However, we have claimed elsewhere (Egeth & Lamy, 2003;Lamy & Tsal, 2001) that findings supporting the object-based view of attentional selection do not necessarily imply, as some authors have argued (e.g., Yantis, 2000), that grouping does not require attention. Indeed, in all the studies surveyed above, at least one part of the relevant object (i.e., of the perceptual group for which objectbased effects were measured) was attended.…”

“…Στο επίπεδο αυτό πραγματοποιείται η διασύνδεση της πληροφορίας με άλλες αποθηκευμένες πληροφορίες. Όσο πιο εκτενής είναι αυτή η διασύνδεση, τόσο βαθύτερη Οι μηχανισμοί της προσοχής λειτουργούν ως «φίλτρο», βοηθώντας το πεπερασμένο γνωσιακό σύστημα του ανθρώπου να αντεπεξέλθει στις απαιτήσεις που προβάλλει το περιβάλλον με την πληθώρα των ερεθισμάτων που του παρέχει και αποτελούν το σύστημα επιλογής των ερεθισμάτων που δεν θα αγνοηθούν, αλλά θα υποστούν εκτενέστερη επεξεργασία(Egeth & Lamy 2003, Proctor & Vu 2008. H προσοχή είτε επικεντρώνεται σε ένα εκ των ερεθισμάτων που δέχεται το άτομο («επικεντρωμένη» προσοχή), είτε διαμοιράζεται μεταξύ περισσοτέρων του ενός («διηρημένη» προσοχή).Το εύρος του αντιληπτικού «παραθύρου» της προσοχής είναι μεταβλητό(Kosslyn et al 6.…”
