  text: For almost three decades, the theory of visual attention (TVA) has been successful
    in mathematically describing and explaining a wide variety of phenomena in visual
    selection and recognition with high quantitative precision. Interestingly, the
    influence of feature contrast on attention has been included in TVA only recently,
    although it has been extensively studied outside the TVA framework. The present
    approach further develops this extension of TVA’s scope by measuring and modeling
    salience. An empirical measure of salience is achieved by linking different (orientation
    and luminance) contrasts to a TVA parameter. In the modeling part, the function
    relating feature contrasts to salience is described mathematically and tested
    against alternatives by Bayesian model comparison. This model comparison reveals
    that the power function is an appropriate model of salience growth in the dimensions
    of orientation and luminance contrast. Furthermore, if contrasts from the two
    dimensions are comb

  text: Particular differences between an object and its surrounding cause salience,
    guide attention, and improve performance in various tasks. While much research
    has been dedicated to identifying which feature dimensions contribute to salience,
    much less regard has been paid to the quantitative strength of the salience caused
    by feature differences. Only a few studies systematically related salience effects
    to a common salience measure, and they are partly outdated in the light of new
    findings on the time course of salience effects. We propose Bundesen’s Theory
    of Visual Attention (TV A) as a theoretical basis for measuring salience and introduce
    an empirical and modeling approach to link this theory to data retrieved from
    temporal-order judgments. With this procedure, TV A becomes applicable to a broad
    range of salience-related stimulus material. Three experiments with orientation
    pop-out displays demonstrate the feasibility of the method. A 4th experiment substantiates
    its applicability t

  text: In the current study, we tested whether search for a visual motion singleton
    presented among several coherently moving distractors can be more efficient than
    search for a motion stimulus presented with a single distractor. Under a variety
    of conditions, multiple spatially distributed and coherently moving distractors
    facilitated search for a uniquely moving target relative to a single-motion-distractor
    condition (Experiments 1,3, and 4). Color coherencies among static distractors
    were not equally effective (Experiments 1 and 2). These results confirm that humans
    are highly sensitive to antagonistically directed motion signals in backgrounds
    compared with spatially more confined regions of visual images. (PsycINFO Database
