Binding global and local object features in visual working memory

Abstract: When briefly presented with global and local visual information, individuals report global information more quickly and more accurately than local information, a phenomenon known as the global precedence effect (GPE;Navon, 1977). We investigated whether a bias toward global information persists in visual working memory (VWM) and whether the VWM representations for global and local features include information bound to their hierarchical levels and to each other. Navon figures, in which a larger (global) letter… Show more

“…The lack of a relationship between the size of the change probability effect and awareness of the probability information in the LSF-probable conditions may be due to a preexisting bias toward LSF information. This bias is evident in previous research on change detection performance for changes to LSF and HSF features of objects that demonstrate a global precedence effect (higher change detection performance for LSF changes than for HSF changes; Ericson et al, 2016). Potentially, when the probability information is consistent with the preexisting bias, explicit awareness is less likely to occur and less likely to be related to the size of the change probability effect.…”

“…On the other hand, when waiting for a stoplight to change from red to green, attention must be allocated locally to the light to detect the color change. There is, however, a natural bias to focus on and remember global information over local details (Ericson, Beck, & van Lamsweerde, 2016; Navon, 1977). Therefore, adjusting the focus of attention to a scope that is most appropriate to the task at hand requires flexibility.…”
