{"pk":26319,"title":"Attentive and Pre-Attentive Processes in Multiple Object Tracking:A Computational Investigation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The rich literature on multiple object tracking (MOT)conclusively demonstrates that humans are able to visuallytrack a small number of objects. There is considerably lessagreement on what perceptual and cognitive processes areinvolved. While it is clear that MOT is attentionallydemanding, various accounts of MOT performance centrallyinvolve pre-attentional mechanisms as well. In this paper wepresent an account of object tracking in the ARCADIAcognitive system that treats MOT as dependent upon both pre-attentive and attention-bound processes. We show that withminimal addition this model replicates a variety of corephenomena in the MOT literature and provides an algorithmicexplanation of human performance limitations.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"attention; visual cognition; multiple objecttracking; cognitive model"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7vr0w165","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Paul","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bello","name_suffix":"","institution":"Naval Research Laboratory","department":""},{"first_name":"Will","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bridewell","name_suffix":"","institution":"Naval Research Laboratory","department":""},{"first_name":"Christina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Wasylyshyn","name_suffix":"","institution":"Naval Research Laboratory","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T10:00:00-08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26319/galley/15955/download/"}]}
