Cherry 1953
* cocktail party phenomenon
* paradigm of dichotic listening: auditory stimuli, both ears, shadow (immediately repeat) one, impossible to repat unattended - not even physical features
Broadbent 1954
dichtoic listening paradigm - split span:
auditory stimuli presented on both ears
give earwise report
left ear first: ipsilaterally, wernicke, broca
Welford 1952
Psychological refractory period

R2 delayed if R1 not given before S2.
RT of S2 drawn as function of SOA between S1 and S2

the closer S2 following S1, the longer the PRP (Broadbent)

parallel processing only able with loss of RT
Broadbent 1958
filter theory

2 simultaneously presented stimuli reach sensory buffer in parallel
only 1 stimuli can pass (early processing, controlled by physical features)
other stimuli held in pre-processing storage for possible later attendence

filter mechanism: prevents overload of capacity limited, strictly serial central processor

all-or-nothing

challenges: Moray 1959
Treisman 1964
attenuation theory
attenuated transfer & processing of non-attended information
more-or-less principle: flexible locus of processing bottleneck, relatively early
hierarchical analysis
information not in STM: unlikely to be reported
Deutsch & Deutsch 1963
late selection near output
all information processed & analysed completely
highest task relevance: processing level: memory
parallel weighting according to relevance
no filter
STM limited
Johnston & Heinz 1978
the mpre processing levels are reached before selection, the higher the processing resource requirements

selection as early as possible to minimize capacity requirements
Johnston & Wilson 1980
non-target words only processed to a dregree that is needed in order to solve task
focused/divided attention
inappropriate/neutral/appropriate words
focused more accurately processed
Lavie 1996
combined early & late
processing level determined by enhancement/inhibition of relevant/irrelevant stimuli
level of selection: amount of attentional resources available
fewer attentional resources available: earlier selection
Posner 1980
covert visual orienting
spatial cue with certain validity (valid/neutral/invalid)
long SOA between cue & target: interaction
valid cue: RT benefit
invalid cue: RT loss

spothlight metaphor: attention moved to location in space: RT benefit if spotlight already at target location before target appears
spotlight diameter fixed
LaBerge 1986
spotlight diamter variable:
HOUSE
task 1: middle letter consonant/vowel?
task 2: noun or verb?
###7# or ##7##
task 1: RT fastest if 7 in middle
task 2: RT independent from position
Eriksen & James 1986
variable zoom lens
task: S present? up to 3 pre-cueing positions.
interaction: cue condition x SOA
fastest RT if only 1 precued position
zoom lens focused or wide
Posner & Cohen 1984
inhibition of return
inhibited orienting of attention to a previously attended location
mainly after peripheral cues
after central cue if programmed saccade interrupted
Müller & Rabbitt 1989
central cue: symbolic stimulus at fixation, voluntary, long latencies, long activation
peripheral cue: luminance at indicated location, reflexive, short latency, transient activation, independent from validity
"attentional capture": interrupts central orienting towards highly salient central
Moran & Desimone 1985
single cell study on effect of spatial attention on neuronal level
neuron's response to unattended stimuli is suppressed if stimulus in RF
Yarbus 1967
the unexpected visitor
overt orienting (across fixation) can be controlled
Klein 1980
no causal link between overt attention & overt orienting
Deubel & Schneider 1986
during preparation of voluntary saccade, selective vision is and can be on saccade target. strong coupling between eye movement & spatial attention. allocation of spatial attention before execution of saccade
impossible to attend one location while preparing saccade to another
Duncan 1984
overlapping objects - purely spotlight based selection impossible
task1: line dotted/dashed? or line clockwise/counterclockwise?
task2: line dotted/dashed? gap left/right?
single object judgement advantage
Baylis & Driver 1993
replication of single object judgement advantage
RT faster if only 1 object is attended although identical stimulus material
Tipper 1985
Negative Priming
inhibited internal representation of competeing neighbouring objects
task: name black letter that spatially overlaps white letter
focus on effects of trials n on trial n+1
main attentional selection mechanisms
locations: space-based (spotlight, zoom lens)
objects: object-based
dimensions
feature vs conjunction search
feature search based on pop out: RT independent of display size

conjunction search inefficient: RT dependent of display size

FIT: simple serial model of attention
feature: spatially parallel
conjunction: serial scanning
Treisman & Gelade 1980
Feature Integration Theory:
Task 1: search T within I and Y => automatic detection
Task 2: search T within I and Z => serial scanning
Wolfe 1994 - Assumptions
Guided visual search assumptions:
initially, stimuli processed in separate feature maps. activation of each location in feature maps: bottom-up & top-down. summing of feature map activations in "activation map". adding noise to activation map. attentional scanning of location in activation map in order of activation (IOR)
ranking of items according to their priority
