In 23% of trials, even when able to view the stimulus for as long as 10 seconds, R.M. reported seeing a "red O" or a "blue T". [9] This finding is in accordance with feature integration theory's prediction of how one with a lack of focused attention would erroneously combine features. The stimuli resembling a carrot, lake and tire, respectively.

The brain pathway that orients visual attention to a stimulus is referred to as the orienting system.There are two main types of visual orientations, covert (exogenous) which occurs when a salient environmental change causes a shift in attention and overt (endogenous) which occurs when the individual makes a conscious decision to orient attention to a stimuli [1] During a covert orientation of ...
Visuospatial processing refers to the "ability to perceive, analyze, synthesize, manipulate and transform visual patterns and images". [2] Visuospatial working memory (VSWM) is involved in recalling and manipulating images to remain oriented in space and keep track of the location of moving objects.
For example, pre-attentive processing is slowed by sleep deprivation while attention, although less focused, is not slowed. [6] Furthermore, when searching for a particular visual stimulus among a variety of visual distractions, people often have more trouble finding what they are looking for if one or more of the distractions is particularly ...
The current view is that visual covert attention is a mechanism for quickly scanning the field of view for interesting locations. This shift in covert attention is linked to eye movement circuitry that sets up a slower saccade to that location.
Simultanagnosia (or simultagnosia) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by the inability of an individual to visually perceive more than a single object at a time. . This type of visual attention problem is one of three major components (the others being optic ataxia and optic apraxia) of Bálint's syndrome, an uncommon and incompletely understood variety of severe neuropsychological ...
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. An individual gazes at another individual, points to an object ...
