This proposal continues my study of the systems responsible for attention and those responsible for higher-level processing such as the recognition of meaning and "object-ness," via memory retrieval.  This grant application focuses on the interaction from two directions.  First, how does the allocation of attention (or lack thereof) affect our ability to process meaning?  Although the longstanding view has been that recognizing the meaning of many stimuli (e.g., words) is automatic, and can be accomplished in the absence of attention, more recent work is challenging this view.  I will continue to ask whether it is necessary for a stimulus to be the focus of attention in order for us to be able to apprehend its identity and evaluate it, and I will also examine whether there are particular cases in which much of this information can be uncovered without the application of focal attention.

这个提议继续了我对负责注意力的系统和那些负责更高层次处理的系统的研究，比如通过记忆检索来识别意义和“客体性”。本资助申请侧重于两个方向的互动。首先，注意力的分配（或缺乏）如何影响我们处理意义的能力？尽管长期以来的观点认为，识别许多刺激（例如，单词）的意义是自动的，可以在没有注意的情况下完成，但最近的研究对这一观点提出了挑战。我将继续提出这样的问题：为了让我们能够理解和评估刺激的身份，刺激是否有必要成为注意力的焦点，我还将研究是否存在一些特殊情况，在这些情况下，大部分信息可以在不应用焦点注意力的情况下被发现。
