“…One of the many interesting questions about IOR is whether, and if so how, it might be modulated by cue-target relations on dimensions/attributes other than location (e.g., Fox & de Fockert, 2001;Hu, Fan, Samuel, & He, 2013;Hu, Samuel & Chan, 2011;Hu, Zhan, Li, He, & Samuel, 2014;Kwak & Egeth, 1992;Tanaka & Shimojo, 1996;Taylor & Donnelly, 2002).…”

Recent research using the Posner cuing paradigm to explore inhibition of return seems to suggest that repetition of a nonspatial feature modulates cue-related facilitatory and inhibitory aftereffects differently in detection and discrimination tasks. Because the cues were unrelated to the final response in the detection task but parallel to (not orthogonal with) the final response in the discrimination task, it is unclear whether the different patterns of results were caused by the complexity of the decision (detection vs. discrimination) or by the task relevance of the feature that might or might not repeat from cue to target. Using a paradigm modeled on previous work, in Experiment 1 (detection task) and 2 (discrimination task) we replicated the previous patterns: No early feature repetition benefit but reduced IOR for feature mismatch trials in the detection task; and large early feature repetition benefit but no effect of feature match upon the later IOR in the discrimination task. In Experiment 3 (discrimination task), we used an "orthogonal-cuing" method: the feature (color) that could repeat or not from cue to target was not on the dimension being discriminated (shape). The pattern of results was very similar to what is observed in detection tasks. These results demonstrate that it is not the task but the task relevance of the repeating feature that modulates facilitation and inhibition effects. The findings are generally consistent with a habituation account of the inhibitory aftereffects of orienting but do not rule out the contribution of other mechanisms.

“…The Posner paradigm has been used extensively in the attention literature. However, very few studies have investigated the effects of presenting more than one cue at the same time and these have almost exclusively been studying the effects of exogenous cues (Christie et al, 2013; Dukewich & Boehnke, 2008; Hu et al, 2014; Klein et al, 2005; Riggio et al, 2000; Wright & Richard, 1996, 2003).…”

While the classic Posner cuing paradigm has been used to study cuing of a single endogenous shift of attention, we present a new multiple cue paradigm to study the competition between multiple endogenous shifts of attention. The new paradigm enables us to manipulate the number of competing attention shifts and their relative importance. In three experiments, we demonstrate that the process of selecting one among other relevant attention shifts is governed by limited capacity and biased competition. We show that the probability of performing the most optimal attention shift is influenced by the total number of attention shifts competing for execution and that reward is a determining factor for the selection between attention shifts. We explain our results with a recent mathematical model of biased selection of response sets (the model of intention selection [MIS]). Our new paradigm offers a critical test of MIS and is an important new tool for investigating the mechanisms underlying the retrieval of response sets from long-term memory (LTM). The model (MIS) and the new multiple cue paradigm can provide a new perspective on LTM representations of response sets for instrumental action and on habitual and goal-directed processing in action control. Public Significance StatementWe show that the competition between shifts of attention is dependent on the number of cues and the relative reward associated with each shift of attention. Our digital life is dominated by multiple cues for attention weighted by the prospect of social reward. Our experiments and mathematical model provide insights into the selection mechanisms involved in the simultaneous cuing of multiple attention shifts. Mechanisms that are being manipulated by social media algorithms.

“…Its modelization for eye movements in combination with memory processing is still under discussion. 465 Current return mechanisms have long been computed by inhibiting the regions of previous fixations (spatially-based), 466 nonetheless, IoR could also have feature-selective properties [91] to consider. 467 We suggest that not all fixations should have the same importance when evaluating saliency predictions.…”

Previous studies in that line suggested that lateral interactions of V1 cells are responsible, among other visual effects, of bottom-up visual attention (alternatively named visual salience or saliency). Our objective is to mimic these connections in the visual system with a neurodynamic network of firing-rate neurons. Early subcortical processes (i.e. retinal and thalamic) are functionally simulated. An implementation of the cortical magnification function is included to define the retinotopical projections towards V1, processing neuronal activity for each distinct view during scene observation. Novel computational definitions of top-down inhibition (in terms of inhibition of return and selection mechanisms), are also proposed to predict attention in Free-Viewing and Visual Search conditions. Results show that our model outpeforms other biologically-inpired models of saliency prediction as well as to predict visual saccade sequences during free viewing. We also show how temporal and spatial characteristics of inhibition of return can improve prediction of saccades, as well as how distinct search strategies (in terms of feature-selective or category-specific inhibition) predict attention at distinct image contexts. Author summarySaliency maps are the representations of how certain visual regions attract attention in a visual scene, and these can be measured with eye movements. A myriad of computational models with artificial and biological inspiration have been able to acquire outstanding predictions of human fixations. However, most of these models have been built specifically for visual saliency, a characteristic that denies their biological plausibility for modeling distinct visual processing mechanisms or other visual processes simultaneously. In addition to saliency, our approach is also able to efficiently work for other tasks (without applying any type of training or optimization and keeping the same parametrization) such as Visual Search, Visual Discomfort [1], Brightness [2] and Color Induction [3]. By performing simulations of human physiology and its mechanisms, we propose to build a unified model that could be extended to predict and understand distinct perceptual processes in which V1 is responsible.2 discriminate redundant information [4][5][6]. In order to filter or select the information to 3 May 3, 2019 1/32 be processed in higher areas of visual processing in the brain, the HVS guides eye 4 movements towards regions that appear to be visually conspicuous or distinct in the 5 scene. This phenomena was observed during visual search tasks [7, 8], where detecting 6 early visual features (such as orientation, color or size) was done in parallel 7 (pre-attentively) or required either a serial "binding" step depending on scene context. 8 Koch & Ullman [9] came up with the hypothesis that neuronal mechanisms involved in 9 selective visual attention generate a unique "master" map from visual scenes, coined 10 with the term "saliency map". From that, Itti, Koch & Ullman [10] presented a 11 computational i...
