Description

It is an open question how simple features are integrated in the attention spotlight. In this paper, we examined two opposing models for the integration process of shape and color. One is a local conjunction model in which simple features of shape and color are combined directly. The other is a whole conjunction model in which simple features of shape are integrated into the whole shape and then it is combined with color. In Experiment 1, we measured the time required to search for a target defined by a conjunction of shape and color for five subjects with changing coloring of the figures. The slope of the search function was gentler when corners of figures were colored (p<0.01). In Experiment 2, we measured the time required to integrate shape and color of figures presented in rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) for five subjects. The presentation time required to answer the correct combination was shorter when corners were colored (p<0, 01). These results support the local conjunction model.
