Optimizing perception: Attended and ignored stimuli create opposing perceptual biases

Abstract: Humans have remarkable abilities to construct a stable visual world from continuously changing input. There is increasing evidence that momentary visual input blends with previous input to preserve perceptual continuity. Most studies have shown that such influences can be traced to characteristics of the attended object at a given moment. Little is known about the role of ignored stimuli in creating this continuity. This is important since while some input is selected for processing, other input must be active… Show more

“…Since attention is known to modulate both perceptual and neurophysiological responses, it is possible that this accounts for the enhanced serial effects observed when the preceding image was pareidolia [ 41 ]. Indeed, attention has been noted as a key element in serial dependence: attended stimuli exhibit a greater serial effect than unattended or actively ignored stimuli [ 42 , 43 ]. Another possibility is that human faces and pareidolia images may engage expression mechanisms differently, which could manifest as an asymmetry in cross-domain adaptation.…”

“…Another paper proposes a method for distinguishing noise from effects of inattention (Raidvee et al, 2021) when considering the efficiency of ensemble integration (Solomon, 2010;Solomon et al, 2011;Solomon et al, 2016). Additional papers explore ensemble representations within and outside the focus of attention (Chen, Zhuang, et al, 2020), during competing tasks like multiple object tracking (Alzahabi & Cain, 2021), and even with active ignoring (Rafiei et al, 2020). Section 6: Theoretical contributions and reviews A few papers in the special issue take a broader view.…”

“…In a recent paper, we studied the effect of distractors upon perceptual decisions about the attended items (targets) during visual search for an oddly oriented line among distractors ( Rafiei, Hansmann-Roth, Whitney, Kristjánsson, & Chetverikov, 2021 ). In visual search, observers can surprisingly quickly learn the probability distributions of distractor sets ( Chetverikov, Campana & Kristjánsson, 2016 ; Chetverikov, Campana & Kristjánsson, 2017a ; Chetverikov, Campana & Kristjánsson, 2017b ; Chetverikov, Campana & Kristjánsson, 2017c ; Chetverikov, Campana & Kristjánsson, 2017d ; Chetverikov, Campana & Kristjánsson, 2020a ; Hansmann-Roth, Chetverikov, & Kristjánsson, 2019 ; Hansmann-Roth, Kristjánsson, & Chetverikov, 2020a ; Hansmann-Roth, Kristjánsson, Whitney, & Chetverikov, 2021 ; Tanrıkulu, Chetverikov & Kristjánsson, 2020 ).…”
