| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Distinguished for her experimental studies of human attention. In early studies, she demonstrated that people would become aware of the presence of events in a location to which they were not attending, if those events were probable in the momentary contexts and she established a number of necessary conditions for such 'breakthrough of the unattended. This work is the point of departure of all modern theories of the area. More recently, she has shown that there are marked differences in the detectability of visual events designated by single elementary features and by combinations of features. She has also established a number of methods for classifying features as elementary or complex on the basis of their functional properties. This behavioural work is increasingly important in understanding the relationships between the various visual pathways and projection areas. |
