人脸识别过程中注意力是如何分配的？以前的研究使用著名的和不熟悉的面孔表明，要么不需要注意，要么需要特殊的注意机制。我们使用传统的注意力瞬脱（AB）程序来测量暂时减少注意力的人脸识别。参与者快速观看一系列带有一个嵌入式非面部抽象模式（T1）的面部图像。他们判断了T1的纹理，然后检测到一个预先指定的脸（T2），在T1之后出现不同的滞后。T2要么是著名的，要么是陌生的，就像分心的面孔一样。无论干扰物类型，检测一个不熟悉的T2脸显着受损，在短期与长期T1-T2滞后，表明面部识别的注意力要求。一个著名的T2面孔的检测不受滞后的影响，这表明熟悉度可以防止时间注意力瓶颈。这些发现并不支持主张，面孔识别是“特殊的”，在其需要注意力控制。
How is attention allocated during face identification? Previous work using famous and unfamiliar faces suggests that either no attention or a special attentional mechanism is required. We used a conventional attentional blink (AB) procedure to measure face identification with temporarily reduced attention. The participants viewed a rapid series of face images with one embedded nonface abstract pattern (T1). They judged the texture of T1 and then detected a prespecified face (T2) presented at varying lags after T1. T2 was either famous or unfamiliar, as were distractor faces. Regardless of distractor type, detection of an unfamiliar T2 face was significantly impaired at short versus long T1-T2 lags, indicating an attentional requirement for face identification. Detection of a famous T2 face was unaffected by lag, suggesting that familiarity protects against a temporal attentional bottleneck. These findings do not support propositions that face identification is "special" in its need for attentional control.
