Cognitive PsychologyA feature-integration theory of attention
12,207 Citations1980Anne Treisman, Garry A. Gelade
A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.

It is proposed that the ventral stream of projections from the striate cortex to the inferotemporal cortex plays the major role in the perceptual identification of objects, while the dorsal stream projecting from the stripping to the posterior parietal region mediates the required sensorimotor transformations for visually guided actions directed at such objects.

Cognitive PsychologyOn data-limited and resource-limited processes
2,382 Citations1975Donald A. Norman, Daniel G. Bobrow
The principles discussed show that conclusions about the interactions among psychological processes must be made with caution, and some existing assumptions may be unwarranted, as well as resulting in some new interpretations of interactions among competing psychological processes.

2,208 Citations1992Daniel Kahneman, Anne Treisman +1 more
The concept of anobject file as a temporary episodic representation, within which successive states of an object are linked and integrated, is developed, which develops the concept of a reviewing process, which is triggered by the appearance of the target and retrieves just one of the previewed items.

By measuring sensitivity to light of different wavelengths in patients with blindsight, it is shown that spectral sensitivity in the blind fields is surprisingly high, and the shift in peak sensitivity from medium to shorter wavelengths in adaptation to the dark and the presence of discontinuities in the light-adapted curve together show that blindsight involves both rod and cone contributions, and that some colour opponency remains.
