These adaptation effects show that there are neurons in the brain that are selective to gender, ethnicity and expression.
The way a face looks to us depends on who we’ve been looking at recently!
There are large individual differences in face processing, including people with prosopagnosia.

Chapter 6: Visual Attention
"Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought...It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others." (William James, Principles of Psychology, 1890)

What automatic and conscious processes are going on when looking for Waldo?

We are aware of only a small portion of information that is impinging upon us.
What determines what we attend to?
What happens in the brain when we attend?
![Page 23: The hollow face illusion - University of Washingtoncourses.washington.edu/psy333/lecture_pdfs/Week5_Day1.pdf · The Margaret Thatcher Illusion. Adaptation to faces. Adaptation to](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052102/603bffbb98564f238d44d825/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why is Selective Attention Necessary?
Conscious experience seems to have a limited capacity:We can only attend to one thing at a time.
Attention helps us decide where to move our eyes next.
Our perception of a scene is developed by a combination of attention, eye movements, and memory.

Saccades: quick eye movements from one fixation location to another.
We make around 3 saccades per second!
![Page 26: The hollow face illusion - University of Washingtoncourses.washington.edu/psy333/lecture_pdfs/Week5_Day1.pdf · The Margaret Thatcher Illusion. Adaptation to faces. Adaptation to](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052102/603bffbb98564f238d44d825/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What determines where we look?
• Bottom up factors: Characteristics of the scene:– Stimulus salience - areas of stimuli that attract attention due to their
properties
• Color, contrast, and orientation are relevant properties• Saliency maps show fixations are related to such properties in
the initial scanning process
• Top down factors: • Task or goals
• Attention – Where to attend (spatial attention)– What features to attend to (feature-based attention)

“The unexpected visitor”
Top-down factors: The task has a strong influence on where you attend and look

Top-down factors: The task has a strong influence on where you attend and look

Top-down factors: we use attention to determine where to saccade next.

Where are the horizontal red stripey things?
We use feature-based attention to highlight specific features throughout a scene.
![Page 31: The hollow face illusion - University of Washingtoncourses.washington.edu/psy333/lecture_pdfs/Week5_Day1.pdf · The Margaret Thatcher Illusion. Adaptation to faces. Adaptation to](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052102/603bffbb98564f238d44d825/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
We use spatial attention to highlight everything at a particular location

Attention, eye movements, and memory allow you to ‘paint’ a coherent scene in your mind.
But this assumes that things aren’t changing outside the focus of attention.

• Change blindness
– Observers are shown a picture with and without a missing elementin an alternating fashion with a blank screen
– Results show that the pictures had to alternate a number of times before the change was detected

Two ways that spatial attention can be directed:
Endogenous: voluntary, or by instruction in laboratory experiments: “attend left”
Exogenous: involuntary, often by a flash, sound or any sudden change.
Spatial attention: Direction of attention to a particular region of space
Feature-based attention:Direction of attention to a particular feature, anywhere in space
Features include:
- Direction of motion- Color- Orientation
