초록
지각부하 이론(Lavie, 1995)에 따르면 지각부하가 높을수록 방해자극의 영향이 감소한다. 지각부하를 다룬 연구들은 문자열에서 표적 문자의 탐지에 걸린 반응시간을 측정하는 Eriksen과 Eriksen(1974)의 측면자극 과제(flanker task)를 주로 사용하였다. 한편, 순간 노출되고 사라진 문자열 중 보고해야 할 표적이 후단서로 지시되는 후단서 강제선택 과제에서는 부적 반복효과(negative repetition effect; NRE)가 관찰된다. 이 효과는 나란히 제시된 두 문자가 서로 다른 경우보다 동일할 때, 표적의 식별률이 더 떨어지는 것을 말한다. 후단서 강제선택 과제는 정보처리의 초기지각 단계와 관련한 처리 과정을 잘 보여준다. 본 연구는 지각부하가 후단서 강제선택 과제에서 표적의 정확 식별률과 NRE에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 검토하고자 하였다. 지각부하는 후단서에 의한 강제선택 대상인 두 문자(표적 후보) 사이에 삽입되는 제3의 문자의 유사성(실험 1; ‘ㄹ’, ‘ㅅ’, ‘․’)과 개수(실험 2; 0개, 2개-왼쪽 대각선 배치와 오른쪽 대각선 배치, 4개, 실험3; 2개, 4개)로 조작했다. 실험 1에서 NRE의 경향성이 관찰되었으나 지각부하의 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. 실험 2에서는 NRE가 유의하였으며, 지각부하는 유의하였으나, NRE와의 상호작용은 관찰되지 않았다. 실험 3은 부하자극의 위치 변동성을 도입하여 강화된 지각부하의 수준에 따라 NRE가 변화할 것인지를 다시 확인하였는데, 지각부하의 효과가 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과는 순간 노출된 표적에 대한 분리주의과정으로 인해 지각부하가 지각 정보처리의 초기 단계에 영향을 미치지 못하였을 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.
Abstract
Lavie’s perceptual load theory (Lavie, 1995) proposes that the influence of distractors would be blocked as the load gets higher. Studies of perceptual load have usually adopted the flanker task, developed by Eriksen and Eriksen (1974), which measures reaction time on the target flanked by distractors. In the post-cueing forced task, participants should report the identity of the target cued later, and negative repetition effect (NRE) has often been observed. NRE means the effect that the accuracy of identification is worse when the target is flanked by the same nontargets than when flanked by different nontargets. This study has tried to check whether perceptual load has an effect on identification rate and NRE. Experiment 1 manipulated the similarity between targets and a distractor, and observed a tendency of NRE, but not the effect of perceptual load. Experiment 2 used 4, 2 (in two kinds of diagonal arrangement), or none distractors of the same identity to burden more perceptual load. NRE was significant and perceptual load showed significance but not a linear trend. Experiment 3 checked again whether NRE would be varied according to two levels of perceptual load strengthened by positional variability of load stimuli, but did not find the effect of perceptual load. It is concluded that perceptual load might have a limited effect on the early stage of perceptual processing due to divided attentional processing of the targets briefly exposed. Implications of this study were discussed.
