About: Sensory enhancement theory of object-based attention

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The sensory enhancement theory assumes that attentional resources will spread until they reach the boundaries of a cued object, including regions that may be obstructed or are overlapping other objects. It has been suggested that sensory enhancement is an essential mechanism that underlies object-based attention. The sensory enhancement theory of object-based attention proposes that when attention is directed to a cued object, the quality of the object’s physical representations improve because the spread of attention facilitates the efficiency of processing the features of the object as a whole. The qualities of the cued object, such as spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity, are therefore more strongly represented in one's memory than the qualities of other objects or locations tha

dbo:abstract
  • The sensory enhancement theory assumes that attentional resources will spread until they reach the boundaries of a cued object, including regions that may be obstructed or are overlapping other objects. It has been suggested that sensory enhancement is an essential mechanism that underlies object-based attention. The sensory enhancement theory of object-based attention proposes that when attention is directed to a cued object, the quality of the object’s physical representations improve because the spread of attention facilitates the efficiency of processing the features of the object as a whole. The qualities of the cued object, such as spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity, are therefore more strongly represented in one's memory than the qualities of other objects or locations that received little or no attentional resource. Information processing of these objects also tends to be significantly faster and more accurate as the representations have become more salient. (en)
