Abstract

In three Experiments, I used a modified visual search paradigm, to examine whether the red color singleton play any role in the perception of social stimuli such as faces, and body parts, and if both of them can capture attention, and differentiate between Active (i.e. hand & leg), and passive parts (torso). In the first experiment I presented either faces or body parts together with five different objects, but in the other experiments I presented active or passive parts with the same objects. Participants decided whether a randomly chosen target (surrounded by a green frame) belonged to a previously presented category. In half of the trials, an additional red frame surrounded a non-target singleton object was appeared. Consistent with earlier studies, participants responded faster to both face and body parts targets than to others, when faces or body parts appeared as singletons, they attracted attention and increased reaction times more than other objects, These results indicate greater attention capture by faces, and add evidence for similar mechanism for passive parts of the body parts.
