Towards a taxonomy of spatially oriented attention.
Conditions | Effects | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cue Type | Set Size or Workload | Judgment Precision | Asymptotic Accuracy | Stimulus Enhancement | External Noise Exclusion |
Endogenous | Low | Low | No | No | Yes |
High | Yes | No | Yes | ||
High | Low | No | No | Yes | |
High | Yes | No | Yes | ||
Exogenous | Low | Low | No | Sometimes | Yes |
High | Yes | Sometimes | Yes | ||
High | Low | No | Sometimes | Yes | |
High | Yes | Sometimes | Yes |
Note: External noise exclusion occurs in high external noise or masked conditions. Stimulus enhancement occurs in low or zero external noise conditions. Stimulus enhancement may occur in some circumstances for peripheral precuing.
