在复杂场景中搜索对象受到高级因素的影响，例如该项目在该设置中的期望值（语义一致性）。也有证据表明，一个人凝视一个物体会引导我们的注意力。然而，以前的研究很少有助于理解我们如何整合语义一致性和凝视等自上而下的线索，以引导我们在搜索物体时的注意力。此外，有单独的证据表明，老年人可能更多地受到语义因素的影响，与年轻人相比，较少受到凝视线索的影响，但这在之前的综合任务中尚未进行过研究。在目前的研究中，我们分析了34名年轻人和30名老年人在复杂的视觉场景中寻找目标物体时的眼球运动。年轻的成年人的影响，语义一致性，在他们的注意对象，但更多的影响注视线索。相比之下，老年人在引导他们的注意力时更多地受到语义一致性的指导，而凝视线索的影响较小。这些年龄差异在使用高层次的线索是明显的早期处理（时间首次固定和立即固定的概率），但不是在以后的处理（总时间看对象和时间作出反应）。总的来说，这一发现模式表明，人们在处理复杂场景时会受到社会线索和先前预期的影响，这些因素的相对重要性取决于年龄。本文的在线版本（10.3758/s13414-021-02242-z）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
Searching for an object in a complex scene is influenced by high-level factors such as how much the item would be expected in that setting (semantic consistency). There is also evidence that a person gazing at an object directs our attention towards it. However, there has been little previous research that has helped to understand how we integrate top-down cues such as semantic consistency and gaze to direct attention when searching for an object. Also, there are separate lines of evidence to suggest that older adults may be more influenced by semantic factors and less by gaze cues compared to younger counterparts, but this has not been investigated before in an integrated task. In the current study we analysed eye-movements of 34 younger and 30 older adults as they searched for a target object in complex visual scenes. Younger adults were influenced by semantic consistency in their attention to objects, but were more influenced by gaze cues. In contrast, older adults were more guided by semantic consistency in directing their attention, and showed less influence from gaze cues. These age differences in use of high-level cues were apparent early in processing (time to first fixation and probability of immediate fixation) but not in later processing (total time looking at objects and time to make a response). Overall, this pattern of findings indicates that people are influenced by both social cues and prior expectations when processing a complex scene, and the relative importance of these factors depends on age.
