1 Space- and Object-Based Attention Attention 1 What is Attention? William James Principles of Psychology Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought...it implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others, and is a condition which has a real opposite in the confused, dazed, scatterbrained state. (p. 43) Focused processing over a subset of information. Tse, Seidenberg, and Logothesis (3, Psychological Science) Enhances cognitive and neural processing Allows selection and diminishes distraction Informs the eyes where to move What is Attention? Selective attention Divided attention Exogenous attention Endogenous attention Covert shifts in attention Overt shifts in attention Automatic processing? Selective Divided Exogenous Endogenous 1
