ABSTRACT

In multiple-target visual searches, subsequent search misses (SSMs; [Cain, M. S., Adamo, S. H., & Mitroff, S. R. (2013). A taxonomy of errors in multiple-target visual search. Visual Cognition, 21(7), 899–921. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2013.843627]) occur when the discovery of one target hinders detection of another target (formerly referred to as Satisfaction of Search [Tuddenham, W. J. (1962). Visual search, image organization, and reader error in roentgen diagnosis studies of the psychophysiology of Roentgen image perception memorial fund lecture. Radiology, 78(5), 694–704. https://doi.org/10.1148/78.5.694]). Here, we examined whether SSMs would occur during a proofreading task, and we contrasted the cognitive resource depletion theory and the Satisfaction of Search (SOS) accounts of SSMs. We monitored participants’ eye movements while proofreading for typographical errors (i.e., typos) in lists of words that were presented either in a straight horizontal line or in random locations. There was a significant SSM effect since detection of a first typo hindered the detection of a second typo. Furthermore, in support of the SOS account, the detection of a first typo expedited search, as shown by faster reaction times and reduced fixation durations and refixations on the second typo.

摘要

在多目标视觉搜索中，后续搜索未命中（SSM；[Cain, MS, Adamo, SH, & Mitroff, SR (2013)。多目标视觉搜索中的错误分类法。Visual Cognition , 21(7), 899 –921. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2013.843627]) 当一个目标的发现阻碍了另一个目标的检测时发生（以前称为搜索满意度 [Tuddenham, WJ (1962). Visual search, image在伦琴图像感知纪念基金讲座的心理生理学的伦琴诊断研究组织和读者错误。放射学, 78(5), 694–704。https://doi.org/10.1148/78.5.694]）。在这里，我们检查了 SSM 是否会在校对任务期间发生，并且我们对比了 SSM 的认知资源消耗理论和搜索满意度 (SOS) 帐户。我们在校对出现在水平直线或随机位置的单词列表中的印刷错误（即拼写错误）时，我们监测了参与者的眼球运动。由于第一个错字的检测阻碍了第二个错字的检测，因此存在显着的 SSM 效应。此外，为了支持 SOS 帐户，第一个错字的检测加速了搜索，如更快的反应时间和减少的固定持续时间和对第二个错字的重新固定所表明的那样。
