Abstract
This chapter comments on Anne Treisman's 1969 paper Strategies and models of selective attention, published in Psychological Review. The paper reviews experiments on selective attention, especially to competing speech messages, and relates them to D. E. Broadbent's 1958 filter theory. Treisman identifies four types of attention strategy: the first restricts the number of inputs analyzed, the second restricts the dimensions, the third restricts the items (defined by sets of critical features) for which the subject looks or listens, and the fourth selects which results of perceptual analysis will control behavior and be stored in memory. She also explores the role played by these different mechanisms in various experimental tasks, along with their relative importance and efficiency. This chapter discusses some salient examples of where Treisman's ideas have taken us and how they continue to shape attentional experiment and theory. In particular, it examines Treisman's arguments about divided attention between inputs or objects, as well as analyzers, focused attention and stimulus selection, and the importance of load.
