Feature Integration Theory

Feature Integration Theory

1. Strengths

2. Weakness

3. Earlier models of attention

   • Broadbent -(early processing)
     • Filter processing
   • Serial processing, Deutch and Deutch, 1963

4. How we attend objects

   • Filter, shadowing, priming, masking
   • Audio
     • AUDITORY: Dichotic listening, Broadbent 1952, 1954
     • Attenuation process, Treisman 1960
   • Visual
     • iconic memory
     • backward masking
       • SOA -Stimulus Onset Asynchrony
       • integration & interruption
   • parallel processing
     • Rapid Serial Visual Pesentation

5. Treisman (late processing)

6. what is FIT?

   • feature binding, Treisman and Gelande, 1980
   • parallel processing

7. Critisisms

   • Flanker effect, Shaffer & LaBerge, 1979)
   • Duncan & Humphreys, 1989)
   • Driver (2001)

8. effective priming the flankers, Broadbent & Gathercole, 1990)
