Pre-Attentive and Attentive Visual Information Processing

Abstract

Research carried out on several interrelated topics is described. These projects are all in the area of visual cognition, and focus on feature and object perception, models of selective attention, and the nature of visual routines such as curve tracing and subitizing. The major thrust of this endeavor has been to explore the nature of visual processes to determine the extent to which they are carried out in parallel or in series. (edc)
