Allocation of attention to real and mirrored spaces in the restricted vision

Abstract

In the previous study, we examined that shift of attention in depth direction in real and mirrored spaces. We found that the similarity of allocation of attention in depth direction in real and mirrored spaces. In the present study, attention in real and mirrored space was examined in the restricted vision by using a goggle. The information about the direction of a target relative to the fixation point (near / far) was used as pre-cues by means of colors. The participant was required to detect the target depending on pre-cues. Results indicated that only a main effect of the cue validity was significant, but a main effect of observation condition and an interaction was not significant. This finding suggests that attention was controlled by pre-cues in both forward and backward spaces.
