虽然视觉运动看起来很突出，但运动本身并不会自动吸引注意力。然而，我们在这里表明，运动的开始确实引起注意。在三个实验中，受试者确定目标字母显示包含目标和干扰。在静止的字母中移动字母没有优势，但对于最近开始移动的物体来说有优势，尽管运动是没有信息的。如果在运动开始后再过一段时间，返回抑制会减缓对已经开始移动的物体的反应，这是运动开始引起注意的进一步迹象。最后，目标字母的检测被发现是独立的干扰物的数量在显示器中，如果目标已经经历了运动发作，也表明注意力捕获。我们讨论了自适应意义的敏感性发作的存在下，一个相对不敏感的持续运动。
Although visual motion may seem salient, motion per se does not automatically attract attention. We show here, however that the onset of motion does indeed attract attention. In three experiments, subjects identified target letters in displays that contained targets and distractors. There was no advantage for moving letters among static ones, but there was an advantage for objects that had recently started to move despite the fact that the motion was uninformative. If some additional time was allowed to elapse after motion onset, inhibition of return slowed responding to the item that had started to move-a further sign that the motion onset had captured attention. Finally, detection of target letters was found to be independent of the number of distractors in the display if the target had undergone motion onset, also indicative of attentional capture. We discuss the adaptive significance of sensitivity to onsets in the presence of a relative insensitivity to ongoing motion.
