text: Augmented (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have been applied very
broadly in the recent past. While prior work emphasizes the potential of these
technologies in various application domains, the process of visual attention in
and across the contexts of AR/VR environments is not exhaustively explored yet.
By now, visual attention in AR/VR environments has majorly been studied by means
of overt attention (i.e. saccadic eye movements), self-report, and process-related
visual attention proxies (like reaction time). In this work, we analyze covert
visual attention based on the (psychological) Theory of Visual Attention (TVA),
which allows us to quantify theory-based interpretable properties of the visual
attention process. For example, the TVA allows us to measure the overall processing
speed. We instantiate this TVA-based framework with a 30-participant explorative
within-subjects study. The results show a decisive difference in visual attention
between Reality (i.e. the neutral condition) and Virtual Reality and a weak difference
between Reality and Augmented Reality. We discuss the consequences of our findings
and provide ideas for future studies.

text: Peripheral visual cues lead to large shifts in psychometric distributions
of temporal-order judgments. In one view, such shifts are attributed to attention
speeding up processing of the cued stimulus, so-called prior entry. However, sometimes
these shifts are so large that it is unlikely that they are caused by attention
alone. Here we tested the prevalent alternative explanation that the cue is sometimes
confused with the target on a perceptual level, bolstering the shift of the psychometric
function. We applied a novel model of cued temporal-order judgments, derived from
Bundesen’s Theory of Visual Attention.We found that cue–target confusions indeed
contribute to shifting psychometric functions. However, cue-induced changes in
the processing rates of the target stimuli play an important role, too. At smaller
cueing intervals, the cue increased the processing speed of the target. At larger
intervals, inhibition of return was predominant. Earlier studies of cued TOJs
were insensitive
