Contextual cueing: Implicit learning and memory of visual context guides spatial attention. Chun, M. M & Jiang, Y. Cognitive Psychology, 36(1):28–71, 1998. abstract bibtex Examined how visual context is learned and how it influences visual processing in standard visual tasks which required observers to localize and identify targets presented among multiple distractors. Six experiments were conducted using a total of 108 Ss. Global context was operationalized as the spatial layout of objects in visual search displays. Half of the configurations were repeated across blocks throughout the entire session, and targets appeared within consistent locations in these arrays. Targets appearing in learned configurations were detected more quickly. This newly discovered form of search facilitation is termed contextual cueing. Contextual cueing is driven by incidentally learned associations between spatial configurations (context) and target locations. This benefit was obtained despite chance performance for recognizing the configurations, suggesting that the memory for context was implicit. Results show how implicit learning and memory of visual context can guide spatial attention towards task-relevant aspects of a scene. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2000 APA, all rights reserved)
