Overt attention involves directed eye movements, known as saccades, to consciously focus the eye on a target stimulus. Covert attention involves mental focus or attention to an object without significant eye movement, and is the predominant area of interest when using the Posner cueing task for research.
The most common arrangement for eye accessing cues in a right-handed person. [citation needed] Note: – NLP does not say it is 'always' this way, but rather that one should check whether reliable correlations seem to exist for an individual, and if so what they are. Common (but not universal) Western layout of eye accessing cues:
While exogenous cues are solely what stimuli are presented in one's surrounding environment, endogenous cues are based on the internal goals, beliefs, desires, and interpretation of the person. [7] While an outside stimulus may be present, such as a stop sign, it is the individuals interpretations and knowledge of the sign that is the ...
A mother and her daughter engaged in joint attention. Joint attention or shared attention is the shared focus of two individuals on an object. It is achieved when one individual alerts another to an object by means of eye-gazing, pointing or other verbal or non-verbal indications.
Visual cues are sensory cues received by the eye in the form of light and processed by the visual system during visual perception.Since the visual system is dominant in many species, especially humans, visual cues are a large source of information in how the world is perceived.
A few examples of social cues include: eye gaze; facial expression; vocal tone; body language; Social cues are part of social cognition and serve several purposes in navigating the social world. Due to our social nature, humans rely heavily on the ability to understand other peoples' mental states and make predictions about their behaviour.
Some studies specifically monitor eye movements to ensure that the observer's eyes are continually fixated on the central fixation point. [9] The central and peripheral cues in spatial cueing experiments can assess the orienting of covert spatial attention. These two cues appear to use different mechanisms for orienting spatial attention.
In Morris' first experiment, the apparatus was a large circular pool, 1.30 m across and 0.60 m high. The purpose of the original experiment was to show that spatial learning does not require the presence of local cues, meaning that rats can learn to locate an object without any auditory, visual, or olfactory cues.
