The size of attentional focus modulates the perception of object location

扫码查看
The present study examined how the size of attended area affects the repulsion of perceived object location from the focus of attention reported previously (attentional repulsion effect). We induced sustained changes in the size of attentional focus and tested the impact of this experimental variation on the perception of object location. The results of three experiments revealed reliable repulsion effects for each size of attentional focus. However, the magnitude of the effect decreased substantially with an increase in focus size. This outcome extends the knowledge about how spatial attention affects visual perception.
