ATTENTION Flashcards
Eye tracking
an optical device that measures eye movements via the reflection of photons (light particles) from the eye.
Can be either remote (stationary), or mobile (video).
Space-based attention
Attention is allocated to a given space or area, such that any stimulus in the attended region is perceived in greater detail. Gaze patterns to central and peripheral products
- Central fixation bias:
tendency to look first at the center of a display
central gaze cascade
increased attention to the center immediately prior to choice.
Object-based attention
Attention is allocated to a given object, such that the attended object is perceived in greater detail, regardless of its spatial parameters.
what grabs attention
- Singletons (color, shape, orientation).
- Abrupt onsets and (flashing)
- Motion
- Faces: in order to solve problem (faces take attention away from product), hide faces in ads
- Eyes: cover the eyes (direct eye contact)
- Mouths
- Hands
Pop out effect
when a target differs from all other objects on a single basic feature, that target automatically captures attention
Inattentional blindness
difficulty in perceiving objects or events to which we are not paying attention
change blindness
difficulty in detecting changes to a target
