“…In the present behavioral indices, worse performance (hits, RTs) may reflect a decrease in attentional resources to discriminate a feature (shape) at the attended location according to attention-spreading (e.g., Baylis & Driver, 1992;Driver & Baylis, 1989;Kramer & Jacobson, 1991;Richard, Lee, & Vecera, 2008), and the present results indicate that attention spread for perceptually-connected objects by amodal completion as well as physically-connected objects. This is consistent with a notion that has been suggested in extensive behavioral studies, i.e., attention selects a perceptually unitary object after amodal completion, in cueing paradigms (Moore & Fulton, 2005;Moore, Yantis, & Vaughan, 1998;Pratt & Sekuler, 2001; but see Haimson & Behrmann, 2001), visual search tasks (He & Nakayama, 1992;Rensink & Enns, 1998), divided-attention tasks (Behrmann, Zemel, & Mozer, 1998;Zemel, Behrmann, Mozer, & Bavelier, 2002), the inhibition of return (Yi, Kim, & Chun, 2003), and for chimpanzees (Ushitani, Imura, & Tomonaga, 2010).…”

Attention selects objects/groups as the most fundamental units, and this may be achieved by an attention-spreading mechanism. Previous event-related potential (ERP) studies have found that attention-spreading is reflected by a decrease in the N1 spatial attention effect.The present study tested whether the electrophysiological attention effect is associated with the perception of object unity or amodal completion through the use of partly-occluded objects. ERPs were recorded in 14 participants who were required to pay attention to their left or right visual field and to press a button for a target shape in the attended field. Bilateral stimuli were presented rapidly, and were separated, connected, or connected behind an occluder. Behavioral performance in the connected and occluded conditions was worse than that in the separated condition, indicating that attention spread over perceptual object representations after amodal completion. Consistently, the late N1 spatial attention effect (180-220 ms post-stimulus) and the early phase (230-280 ms) of feature selection effects (target N2) at contralateral sites decreased, equally for the occluded and connected conditions, while the attention effect in the early N1 latency (140-180 ms) shifted most positively for the occluded condition. These results suggest that perceptual organization processes for object recognition transiently modulate spatial and feature selection processes in the visual cortex.

“…By cueing an object before it moved predictably in space, Tipper, Driver, and Weaver () discovered that inhibition of return could be tagged an object (coded in object‐centered coordinates). It was later demonstrated that this object‐based inhibition of return effect survived occlusion of the cued object (Yi, Kim, & Chun, ) and was observed when the objects in the scene moved in random and unpredictable directions (Ogawa, Takeda, & Yagi, ). Importantly, in studies exploring inhibition of return in the aftermath of a visual search task it has been demonstrated (see Wang & Klein, , for a review) that the inhibitory tags depend on the presence of the scene (a finding that has also been observed in the standard cue‐target paradigm, Redden, Klages, & Klein, ).…”

The puzzle of spontaneous alternation and inhibition of return: How they might fit together

Two isolated spatial phenomena share a similar “been there; done that” effect on spatial behavior. Originally discovered in rodent learning experiments, spontaneous alternation is a tendency for the organism to visit a different arm in a T‐maze on subsequent trials. Originally discovered in human studies of attention, inhibition of return is a tendency for the organism to orient away from a previously attended location. Whereas spontaneous alternation was identified by O'Keefe & Nadel as dependent on an intact hippocampus, inhibition of return is dependent on neural structures that participate in oculomotor control (the superior colliculus, parietal and frontal cortex). Despite the isolated literatures, each phenomenon has been assumed to reflect a basic novelty‐seeking process, avoiding places previously visited or locations attended. In this commentary, we explore and compare the behavioral manifestations and neural underpinnings of these two phenomena, and suggest what is still needed to determine whether they operate in parallel or serial.

“…Object-based inhibition of return holds for moving objects, too (Tipper, Driver, & Weaver, 1991). Furthermore, invisibility of objects at any stage of a trial-during cuing, probing, or both-did not eliminate object-based inhibition of return (Yi, Kim, & Chun, 2003;see also Jefferies, Wright, & Di Lollo, 2005).…”

Spatial updating of dynamic scenes: Tracking multiple invisible objects across viewpoint changes

Research on dynamic attention has shown that visual tracking is possible even if the observer's viewpoint on the scene holding the moving objects changes. In contrast to smooth viewpoint changes, abrupt changes typically impair tracking performance. The lack of continuous information about scene motion, resulting from abrupt changes, seems to be the critical variable. However, hard onsets of objects after abrupt scene motion could explain the impairment as well. We report three experiments employing object invisibility during smooth and abrupt viewpoint changes to examine the influence of scene information on visual tracking, while equalizing hard onsets of moving objects after the viewpoint change. Smooth viewpoint changes provided continuous information about scene motion, which supported the tracking of temporarily invisible objects. However, abrupt and, therefore, discontinuous viewpoint changes strongly impaired tracking performance. Object locations retained with respect to a reference frame can account for the attentional tracking that follows invisible objects through continuous scene motion.
