Vertical anisotropy in lightness perception not caused by lighting assumption
2023, Vision ResearchDual counterstream architecture may support separation between vision and predictions
2022, Consciousness and CognitionCitation Excerpt :They have noted that studies demonstrating the effect of attention on visual appearance often employ a two-alternative forced-choice paradigm, which may induce decision bias because participants have no opportunity to report that the stimuli are equal and may confuse the perceived contrast of stimuli with their saliency. Consistent with this claim, the effect of attention on perceived contrast disappears when participants make an equality judgment (Schneider & Komlos, 2008; Valsecchi et al., 2010) or when they perform a matching task (Prinzmetal et al., 1997). Anderson (2016) have also observed that the effect of attention on contrast perception is task-dependent.
Spatial attention alters visual appearance
2019, Current Opinion in PsychologyCitation Excerpt :Introspective subjective methods led to conflicting conclusions; for example, Helmholtz and James claimed that attention intensifies sensory impressions, but Fechner disagreed. Last century, a few empirical studies reported that attention reduces response variance, but does not change stimulus appearance, rendering a more veridical percept [26–28]. However, given their methodology, the results were inconclusive [3,29••,30].
Bias corrected double judgment accuracy during spatial attention cueing: Unmasked stimuli with non-predictive and semi-predictive cues
2014, Vision ResearchCitation Excerpt :The signal enhancement mechanism improves perceptual processing of the stimuli within the attended spatial region as manifested as faster reaction times and improved discrimination accuracy (Herrmann, Heeger, & Carrasco, 2012; Herrmann et al., 2010; Kerzel, Gauch, & Buetti, 2010; Kerzel et al., 2010). The decision-level mechanism can occur through spatial uncertainty reduction of the target and can also be manifested as faster reaction times (Prinzmetal, Ha, & Khani, 2010; Prinzmetal, McCool, & Park, 2005) and improved discrimination accuracy (Prinzmetal, Long, & Leonhardt, 2008; Prinzmetal et al., 1997). The decision-level mechanism works by regulating the transfer of visual information into a system with fixed capacity that makes the decision whether the target is present (Duncan, 1980; Müller & Humphreys, 1991; Sperling, 1984).
