Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Two interspersed and differently colored sets of dots were rotated in opposite directions and were perceived as superimposed transparent surfaces. Probes consisting of brief changes in dot motion direction were reported. Two probes affecting the same surface were discriminated accurately. The 2nd probe was discriminated poorly if it affected a surface different from the 1st and if the time between probes was less than 600 ms. This reflects a difficulty in switching attention rapidly between surfaces. Spatial proximity increased the interference. Controls were incompatible with traditional spatial mechanisms (2- or 3-dimensional) or with simple sensory filters. Instead, probes were apparently selected by object files. The interference is not simply due to an inability to process 2 objects at once but requires close spatial proximity of incompatible motion signals.
