Decision by sampling

Article Abstract:

A theory of decision by sampling (DbS) is presented whereby from a series of binary, ordinal comparisons to a sample attribute values drawn from memory and is its rank within the sample, an attribute's subjective value is constructed. In DbS, only ordinal comparison and frequency accumulation, the simplest cognitive processes are involved in evaluating a target attribute against a decision sample.

Evidence against a central bottleneck during the attentional blink: multiple channels for configural and featural processing

Article Abstract:

The emerging consensus is the identification of a visual target temporarily, which occupies a limited attentional resource that is essential for all visual perception. Experiment results suggest that the attentional blink effect may not be the result of a central processing bottleneck in visual perception.
