Dual mechanisms of contextual cueing in immersive visual search
Natural environments are typically stable, allowing humans to form internal statistical models of spatial regularities that can subsequently guide attention during visual search—a phenomenon known as contextual cueing. Whereas most previous studies relied on two-dimensional displays confined to computer screens, we used head-mounted virtual reality to create large-scale search scenes that required head movements to allow the target to enter the f…
Emotional aftereffects in context-guided visual search
Visual search is facilitated when targets appear within repeated distractor layouts - a phenomenon referred to as contextual cueing (CC). Emotional (negative) background images enhance CC even when these images are later removed from the search displays. Such an enhancement of CC could arise for at least two reasons. First, emotional arousal may facilitate learning of repeated displays, though the learning representation would be independent of t…
Mission impossible? Spatial context relearning following a target relocation event depends on cue predictiveness
Visual search for a target is faster when the spatial layout of distractors is repeatedly encountered, illustrating that statistical learning of contextual invariances facilitates attentional guidance (contextual cueing; Chun & Jiang, 1998, Cognitive Psychology, 36, 28–71). While contextual learning is usually relatively efficient, relocating the target to an unexpected location (within an otherwise unchanged search layout) typically abolishes co…
The acquisition but not adaptation of contextual memories is enhanced in action video-game players
Affective modulation of memory-based guidance in visual search
Emotions can either facilitate or hamper the allocation of attention and the extraction of statistical regularities from perceptual input. In the present study, we investigated whether context memory of spatial target-distractor relations in visual search is influenced by task-irrelevant affective stimuli. In Phase 1 of the study, positive, negative, or neutral images (randomly selected) were presented in the background of a given repeated (fixed…
A secondary task is not always costly
Repeatedly encountering a visual search display with the target located at a fixed position relative to the distractors facilitates target detection, relative to novel displays - which is attributed to search guidance by (acquired) long-term memory (LTM) of the distractor 'context' of the target. Previous research has shown that this 'contextual cueing' effect is severely impeded during learning when participants have to perform a demanding spati…
Einfamilienhaus Oder City?
Einfamilienhaus oder City?
Was sind die entscheidenden Präferenzen beim Wohnen in einem Einfamilienhaus? Wie kann man die Bewohner suburbaner Strukturen dazu animieren, in einem städtischen Kontext zu leben? Die beiden Fragen markieren den Forschungsgegenstand dieser Studie, in deren Rahmen Entwurfskriterien für eine mögliche Bauausstellung mit dem Thema "Alternativen zum Einfamilienhaus" erarbeitet werden.
