Modeling visual attention.
Quantitative modeling of psychological data is both technically and mathematically challenging. The present article introduces a user friendly and flexible program package that enables quantitative fits of Bundesen's (1990) theory of visual attention to behavioral data from whole and partial report experiments. The program package is based on new computational formulas that are more general than previous ones and has already been used successfully in a number of neuropsychological investigations of attentional disorders, such as visual neglect and simultanagnosia. A clinical version of the program package is currently under development.
