Visual search performance, particularly feature search, can be disrupted by peripheral stimulus presentation. Training can improve search in the non-preferred visual field, sometimes even reversing initial preferences.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Visual Perception

Background:

  • Feature search is typically fast and independent of array size, unlike conjunction search.
  • Peripheral stimulus presentation can alter established visual search properties.
  • Hemifield differences in visual processing and attention are known.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how eccentric stimulus presentation affects feature and conjunction visual search.
  • To examine the impact of training on visual search performance in different hemifields.
  • To determine the factors contributing to array size effects in peripheral visual search.

Main Methods:

  • Subjects performed orientation and color feature search, and orientation-color conjunction search.
  • Stimuli were presented at fixation and eccentrically in either the left or right visual hemifield.

  • Training interventions were applied, with performance measured across different array sizes.

    • Main Results:

    • Eccentric presentation disrupted the set-size independence of feature search.
    • Training significantly improved performance in the weaker hemifield, sometimes reversing preference.
    • Peripheral array size effects were attributed to target eccentricity and location uncertainty.

    Conclusions:

    • The properties of visual search, including set-size independence, are not universally valid for eccentric stimuli.
    • Hemifield preference in visual search may involve attentional competition and automatic directing mechanisms.
    • Training can modulate the relationship between array size and search performance in peripheral vision.
