Bøger i Special Issues of Visual Cognition serien

The current volume brings together an eclectic group of investigators all of whom study critical issues in the perception of true real-world scenes.

The notion that certain mental or physical events can capture attention has been one of the most enduring topics in the study of attention owing to the importance of understanding how goal-directed and stimulus-driven processes interact in perception and cognition. This book presents a sampling of the diversity of approaches.

The articles in this special issue of Visual Cognition cover three major types of binding, each of which may require a unique solution: The binding of features within objects, the relational binding among objects, and the binding between temporally related events.

Presents models of eye guidance that offer converging approaches to understanding how we inspect complex scenes. This book demonstrates that the decision about where to look involves a large number of factors from low- to high-level constraints. It offers an understanding of eye guidance in natural scenes.

This study seeks to unite recent studies of change blindness with studies of visual integration to better understand the nature of our representations and the richness of our visual memory.

This special issue is aimed at elucidating the role of visual processes in social interactions by linking work on the basic cognitive mechanisms mediating vision with work on the social and emotional context in which the processing takes place.

In order to produce coherent behaviour in a complex world, forms of visual attention are necessary in order for us to select appropriate objects for action. This issue draws together research from leading figures in this field, to highlight the progress in understanding how selective processes operate in perception and action.

The studies presented in this issue explore multiple pathways between vision and action, the ways in which vision promotes action, and even the conditions and degree to which action and its consequences can influence vision.

This special issue examines the basic processes of space perception and how these processes interact with action planning and motor control.

These papers address issues in Gestalt formation, the relation of grouping and binding processes to visual attention, the role of temporal factors for grouping and binding, and the neuronal corrlates of binding mechanisms, following brain injury.

Successfully completing many forms of behaviour requires that humans look in the right place at the right time: This has generated a large volume of research aimed at understanding how the eyes are guided. This special issue demonstrates that the decision about where to look involves a large number of factors from low- to high-level constraints. New models of eye guidance are presented, and these offer converging approaches to understanding how we inspect complex scenes. Importantly, this special issue brings together evidence from a range of settings - from static scene viewing to real world environments - in order to fully assess our current understanding of eye guidance in natural scenes.
