Change Detection Research Interests
What is the relative contribution of exogenous (stimulus-driven, automatic) attentional orienting and endogenous (top-down, volitional) control of orienting in determining detection of changed features? Shore & Klein (2000) addressed this question by inverting the scenes for both the flicker technique (Rensink et al, 1997) and a side-by-side presentation. Inverting the scene was proposed to reduce the role of meaning-driven endogenous control. With the flicker technique, there was no effect of inversion, whereas with the side-by-side presentation there was a large reduction in the effect of interest leading us to conclude that with flicker, changes were being detection via exogenous orienting whereas with side-by-side presentation, endogenous control was playing more of a role. A second area currently being addressed is the role of transients in resetting attentional control.
