这篇观点文章讨论了一系列注意力现象,这些现象在当前的注意力选择理论中并不容易适应。我们称这些现象为注意力鸭嘴兽,因为它们暗示了一种观察,即在生物分类学中,鸭嘴兽既不属于哺乳动物,也不属于鸟类。同样,注意力现象与当前的注意力模型并不完全吻合,这表明当前的注意力模型需要修正。我们列出了几个实例的“注意力鸭嘴兽”,然后提供了一种新的方法,我们的术语动态加权优先级,规定多个因素冲击到注意力优先级地图,每个相应的权重。因素之间的相互作用和它们相应的权重决定了优先级图的当前状态,随后约束/引导注意力分配。我们认为这种新方法应该被视为对现有注意力模型的补充,特别是那些强调分类组织的模型。
This perspective piece discusses a set of attentional phenomena that are not easily accommodated within current theories of attentional selection. We call these phenomena attentional platypuses, as they allude to an observation that within biological taxonomies the platypus does not fit into either mammal or bird categories. Similarly, attentional phenomena that do not fit neatly within current attentional models suggest that current models are in need of a revision. We list a few instances of the “attentional platypuses” and then offer a new approach, that we term dynamically weighted prioritization, stipulating that multiple factors impinge onto the attentional priority map, each with a corresponding weight. The interaction between factors and their corresponding weights determines the current state of the priority map which subsequently constrains/guides attentional allocation. We propose that this new approach should be considered as a supplement to existing models of attention, especially those that emphasize categorical organizations.This article is categorized under:Psychology > AttentionPsychology > Perception and PsychophysicsNeuroscience > Cognition
