...The type of performance which can be expected from this model critically depends on one factor: Only object features explicitly represented in at least one of the feature maps can lead to pop-out, that is, rapid detection independent of the number of distracting objects [7]....

...According to serial search accounts, scenes are searched element by element by a spotlight of attention (Olhausen et al 1993, Schneider & Shiffrin 1977, Treisman & Gelade 1980), unless the target pops out from the background on the basis of an elemental feature difference....

...In easy cases, the target appears to "pop out" of the array, as if attention were drawn directly to it (Donderi & Zelnicker 1969, Treisman & Gelade 1980)....

...A common view is that attention helps solve the binding problem by linking together different features at the attended location (Treisman & Gelade 1980, Treisman & Schmidt 1982)....

...Our finding that feature targets can be identified without being even approximately localized seems inconsistent with a new account of visual attention by Posner (1978). Posner suggests that the orientation of attention to the location of a target is a necessary prior condition for conscious detection in the visual domain....
