The present study investigates the hypothesis that the "same object effect" is just one case of a broader category of attentional effects caused by the ways the objects affect the spatial organization of the visual field. In general, our results suggest that the “same object effect” is not related to an advantage when shifting visual attention between two locations belonging to the same object in the visual field, instead it is caused by the orientation of the objects that occupy the space and the visual anisotropies that characterize visual field.

Abstract
The present study investigates the hypothesis that the "same object effect" is just one case of a broader category of attentional effects caused by the ways the objects affect the spatial organization of the visual field. In general, our results suggest that the “same object effect” is not related to an advantage when shifting visual attention between two locations belonging to the same object in the visual field, instead it is caused by the orientation of the objects that occupy the space and the visual anisotropies that characterize visual field.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
