ible explanation for the attentional draw of objects shooting through ones field of view. The noise that is most likely to interfere with the signal in this type of network is noise that most closely resembles the target motion. This can be explained by a probability of mismatch based on nearest neighbors or the likelihood that the signal target trajectory lays outside the distribution of the noise signals. Ruth Rosenholtz (Rosenholtz, 2001) also proposes an outlier rule model for search that is based on the distance of the target signal from the distribution of the noise signal.Divided Attention in the Motion DomainWatamaniuk and McKee (1998) later examined the ability to encode local and global motion information simultaneously. There are several key pieces of information that came from this research. No global preference was noted in the motion domain. Global precedence is the tendency to process information on a large scale prior to processing higher frequency information. The thresholds established for local information in this study were lower than thresholds for lower frequency or global information. Additionally, local and global information could be encoded simultaneously and did not require attention to be divided across the processing time as shown by the increase in threshold of both global and trajectory motion at shorter stimulus duration. Because both global and local information could be coded simultaneously these researchers suggest that to produce global percept the local information is summed over time. The difference then would be at the processing level or that local and global information is processed over different spatial extents and not input at different spatial frequencies.Rather than examining attentional demands Dobkins and Bosworth ((Dobkins & Bosworth, 2001) address attention as a mechanism of selection. Going back to Pashlers discussion of early and late selection the debate is over the point at wh...
