Comparing Response Times and Error Rates in a Simultaneous Masking Paradigm
No full textIn simultaneous masking, performance on a foveally presented target is impaired by one or more flanking elements. Previous studies have demonstrated strong effects of the grouping of the target and the flankers on the strength of masking (e.g., Malania, Herzog & Westheimer, 2007). These studies have predominantly examined performance by measuring offset discrimination thresholds as a measure of performance, and it is therefore unclear whether other measures of performance provide similar outcomes. A recent study, which examined the role of grouping on error rates and response times in a speeded vernier offset discrimination task, similar to that used by Malania et al. (2007), suggested a possible dissociation between the two measures, with error rates mimicking threshold performance, but response times showing differential results (Panis & Hermens, 2014). We here report the outcomes of three experiments examining this possible dissociation, and demonstrate an overall similar pattern of results for error rates and response times across a broad range of mask layouts. Moreover, the pattern of results in our experiments strongly correlates with threshold performance reported earlier (Malania et al., 2007). Our results suggest that outcomes in a simultaneous masking paradigm do not critically depend on the outcome measure used, and therefore provide evidence for a common underlying mechanism

Eye movements reveal the role of attention in change blindness for shadows
No full textIn a change blindness paradigm, participants are presented with two images (alternating or side-by-side) and are asked to detect a change created with digital image manipulation. A recent study has suggested that changes in cast shadows are more difficult to detect than changes in objects (Ehinger, Allen, & Wolfe, 2016). Research has also suggested that when judging faces, observers show reduced attention to cast shadows (Hermens & Zdravković, 2015). A plausible reason for change blindness for shadows is therefore that observers fail to attend the relevant areas in an image. We here test this hypothesis by measuring eye movements while observers freely view the images from Ehinger et al. (2016). To compare change blindness in the same set-up we also asked participants to perform a change detection task where we presented images side-by-side and balanced the number of object and shadow changes. During free viewing, observers paid little attention to the relevant shadows and objects, but significantly more often fixated the relevant shadows than objects. During the change blindness task, changes in shadows were more easily detected than changes in objects. Attention during free viewing of individual images, however, did not predict change detection performance. The results suggest that during free viewing observers do not automatically discard cast shadows, and that change blindness may not be directly related to visual attention during free viewing
