Signal Probability and Spatial Location as Possible Bases for Increased Selectivity in Noise,
Abstract
The aim of the work was to see whether the effect of noise is to funnel vision to the area immediately around the point of regard, or to make the man concentrate on what he believes to be the more important aspects of his work. Performance on the tracking task deteriorated reliably in the quiet, but not in the noise. This was the case for both experimental conditions. The results suggest that the effect of noise to make the man concentrate on what he takes to be the most important aspects of his work. There is no direct funnelling of vision. (Author)
