Here, by simple innovation of an experimental paradigm, we were able to identify a specific behavioral pattern associated with serial, self-terminating search and clarified which tasks depend on serial processing to a greater extent than others.
1 kwi 2002 · The serial search occurs when that target object is not significantly different from the distractors. Each object in the search space has to be attended to separately and a decision made as to whether it is the target or not before moving onto the next object.
7 wrz 2017 · In this paper, we approach this dispute by numerically fitting a serial search model and a parallel search model to reaction time (RT) distributions from three visual search experiments...
It is claimed that only after having recognized behavioral signatures of serial attention in visual search can one be confident that truly serial mechanisms are engaged in a given visual search task, thus making it amenable for exploring the functional neuro-anatomy underlying its performance.
The finding that the facilitation of search for predictable target locations generalized to the subsequent phase of serial search leads to the conclusion that the learned across-trial biases in the pop-out feature search could persist during serial search.
Until a few years ago, visual search tasks were of exclusive pertinence to psychophysicists and cognitive psychologists trying to understand the operating principles and computational constraints of visual perception and visual selective attention.
Serial and parallel processing in visual search have been long debated in psychology, but the processing mechanism remains an open issue. Serial processing allows only one object at a time to be processed, whereas parallel processing assumes that various objects are processed simultaneously.
