- W4233368681 abstract "Does paying attention to a stimulus change its appearance or merely influence the decision mechanisms involved in reporting it? Recently we proposed an uncertainty stealing hypothesis in which subjects, when uncertain about a perceptual comparison between a cued and uncued stimulus, tend to disproportionately choose the cued stimulus. The result is a psychometric function that mimics the results that would be measured if attention actually changed the appearance of the cued stimulus. In the present study, we measure uncertainty explicitly. In three separate experiments, subjects judged the relative appearance of two Gabor patches that differed in contrast. In the first two experiments, subjects performed a comparative judgment, reporting which stimulus had the higher contrast. In the third experiment, subjects performed an equality judgment, reporting whether the two stimuli had the same or different contrast. In the first comparative judgment experiment and in the equality judgment experiment, one of the two stimuli was pre-cued by an exogenous cue. In the second comparative judgment experiment, a decision bias was explicitly introduced: one stimulus was followed by a post-cue and the subjects were instructed, when uncertain, to choose the cued target. In all three experiments, subjects also indicated whether or not they were certain about each response. The results reveal that in the pre-cue comparative judgment, attention shifted the subjects’ uncertainty and made subjects more likely to report that the cued stimulus had higher contrast. In the post-cue biased comparative judgment, subjects also were more likely to report that the cued stimulus had higher contrast, but without a shift in uncertainty. In the equality judgment, attention did not affect the contrast judgment, and the subjects’ uncertainty remained aligned with their decision. We conclude that attention does not alter appearance but rather manipulates subjects’ uncertainty and decision mechanisms." @default.
