초록

시야의 한 위치에 연이어 순간적으로 제시된 두 자극이 있을 경우 후행 자극은 선행 자극의 변별을 어렵게 만드는 역행 차폐 현상을 초래한다. 본 연구는 최근 역행 차폐 현상을 설명하기 위한 새로운 모형으로 제시된 객체-대체 가설(object-substitution hypothesis)(Enns & Di Lollo, 1997, 2000)의 타당성을 조사하기위해, 네-점(four-dot) 및 역행패턴(pattern-backward) 차폐가 세부특징 부재(feature-absent) 탐색 과제의 표적 변별에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 실험 1과 2에서는 버니어 상쇄(Vernier offset)가 부여되지 않은 표적을 탐색하는 과제와 다중 차폐(multiple masking) 패러다임을 사용하여 단일 차폐 자극으로의 공간적 주의 집중에 의한 표적 변별 오류의 발생 가능성을 최소화하였다. 그 결과, 네-점 차폐는 차폐소멸 지연시간이 늘어날수록 그리고 역행패턴 차폐는 차폐출현 지연시간이 줄어들수록 항목 개수의 증가에 따른 탐색 정확도의 감소 패턴이 더욱 두드러지게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 두 차폐가, 초점 주의가 큰 영향을 미치는 지각 후(post-perceptual) 처리 단계나 감각적(sensory) 상호작용 단계보다는, 지각적(perceptual) 처리 단계에서 표적 변별을 방해함을 의미하며 따라서, 지각적 처리 단계의 객체-대체 현상에 의해 시각 차폐가 발생할 가능성을 시사한다.

Abstract

When two stimuli are briefly displayed in sequence at a location in the visual field, backward masking, in which identification of the preceeding stimulus is hindered by a subsequent mask stimulus, is induced. This study aimed to test the object-substitution hypothesis (Enns & Di Lollo, 1997, 2000) recently proposed for the mechanism of backward masking by observing the effect of four-dot and pattern-backward masking on target identification in a feature-absent search. Experiment 1 and 2 combined feature-absent search in which a target without a Vernier offset is searched after and multiple-masking paradigms to prevent immediate attention to a salient mask, and thus minimized target recognition errors by spatially focused attention onto a subsequent pop-out mask. The drop of target identification accuracy by increasing number of displayed items (setsize effect) was more evident as a mask-offset delay increases under the four-dot masking and as a mask-onset delay decreases under the pattern-backward masking respectively. The results indicate that both visual masking may occur due to object-substitution during a perceptual processing stage rather than a post-perceptual attentive or than a sensory interaction stage.
