TL;DR: In this article, the attenuation of the attentional blink phenomenon was correlated with expertise at an individual level, whereby greater expertise with cars yielded a smaller attentional blinking for these stimuli.
Abstract: Perceptual expertise with a specific domain of stimuli has been shown to afford numerous benefits to information processing performance. Previous work has suggested that face perception, a domain of perceptual expertise for many, is less susceptible to one of the most robust examples of information processing limits, namely the attentional blink. Here we extend this finding to non-face objects of expertise, supporting an expertise-related account of this benefit. Further, the attenuation of the attentional blink phenomenon was correlated with expertise at an individual level, whereby greater expertise with cars yielded a smaller attentional blink for these stimuli. These results support previous work suggesting that extensive experience with a class of objects, such as in the case of perceptual experts, can reduce the consequence of inherent limitations in human information processing. Possible mechanistic accounts of how experience may circumvent processing limitations are discussed.

TL;DR: This article measured the eye blink interval data for relationship between visual attention and eye blink intervals and found that visual attention is related to explicit visual attention using blink rate, pattern and blink timing across subjects.
Abstract: Generally, human eye blinks are closely associated with the cognitive state or visual attention such asattentional requirements on visual stimuli. These previous studies have reported that eye blinks are related to explicitvisual attention using blink rate, pattern and blink timing across subjects. However, these results have been obtainedin a well-controlled experimental settings. So, it would prove difficult to investigate human’s natural response in acontinuous and realistic situation. In our study, we measured the eye blink intervals while participants viewed a movieclip. And we analyzed the blink interval data for relationship between visual attention and eye blink intervals. 24 par-ticipants took part in two experimental sessions, first session to measure the IEBI while viewing the movie clip andsecond session to conduct a memory performance test using a self-questionnaire, which were spaced 3 weeks apart.The results indicate significantly higher memory performance at long IEBI period than short IEBI period whilewatching a movie clip(t = 3.257, df = 17, p < 0.005, 2-tailed). In addition, memory performance score significantlycorrelated with the IEBI value(spearman’s rho = 0.40, N = 36, p < 0.01, 2-tailed). Our results suggest that IEBI isused to measure or assess visual attention while wiewing the movie that it is capable of simulating aspects of real-life experiences by visual attention. Thus, we expect IEBI to be used to measure or assess our visual attention, cog-nition, further emotion about not only movies, advertisements and other cultural contents but also cognitive science.Key words: eye blink, Inter eye blink interval, visual attention, movie clip, memory capacity, culture content
