Wiki Version:
Experiments 4 and 5 indicated that during a dynamic, goal-directed task in which people must navigate an avatar through an obstacle-ridden display, people form an asymmetric field of attention around their avatar. They monitor the front more than the back, the space above them more than the space below them, and nearby distances more than faraway distances. However, these conclusions are based on using static unexpected objects that show up in one place and remain there for the duration of their display time. A question that remains is what happens to probes that move while they are on screen; in particular, is there any effect of a probe that originates in a less relevant area of the screen and moves into a more relevant one, or vice versa? Does the origin, endpoint, or path of motion interact with attention differently than in the case of the static probes? This experiment employs very similar methods to experiment 5, but uses moving unexpected objects instead of stationary ones.
