ABSTRACT

Asking the right questions So far, we have seen how different experiments, by virtue of their design, might be considered to be measuring, manipulating or observing different varieties of “attention” in different modalities and tasks. On the “small” scale, some answers may have been found, for example, the minimum “width” of the spotlight (in certain conditions), stimulus dimensions that facilitate selectivity (in certain conditions), how the perceptual display is segregated (in particular conditions) etc.
