{"pk":26495,"title":"Inattentional Blindness in a Coupled Perceptual–Cognitive System","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Attention is thought to be a part of a larger cluster of mecha-nisms that serve to orient a cognitive system, to filter contentswith respect to their task relevance, and to devote more com-putation to certain options than to others. All these activitiesproceed under the plausible assumption that not all informationcan be or ought to be processed for a system to satisfice in anever changing world. In this paper, we describe an attention-centric cognitive system called ARCADIA that demonstratesthe orienting, filtering, and resource-skewing functions men-tioned above. The demonstration involves maintaining focuson cognitive tasks in a dynamic environment. While ARCA-DIA carries out a task, limits on its attentional capacity resultin “inattentional blindness” under circumstances analogous tothose where people fail to perceive otherwise salient stimuli.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"attention; perception; vision; cognitive model;inattentional blindness"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7v66v149","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Will","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bridewell","name_suffix":"","institution":"U.S. Naval Research Laboratory","department":""},{"first_name":"Paul","middle_name":"F.","last_name":"Bello","name_suffix":"","institution":"U.S. Naval Research Laboratory","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26495/galley/16131/download/"}]}
