초록
최근 연구들은 공간적 작업기억 과제를 수행하면서 시각 탐색 과제를 수행했을 때 시각 탐색의 효율성과 작업기억 과제의 정확률이 동시에 낮아지는 결과를 보고하였다(Oh & Kim, 2004; Woodman & Luck, 2004). 이러한 결과는 두 과제의 처리 과정이 동일한 인지적 자원을 요구하기 때문인 것으로 해석할 수 있는데, 동일한 인지적 자원은 공간적 주의(공간적 주의 부하 가설)나, 공간적 작업기억(공간적 작업기억 부하 가설), 혹은 이 둘과 모두 관련될 가능성이 있다. 시각 탐색과 공간적 작업기억 간 상호 간섭의 기제를 밝히기 위해 작업기억에 유지해야 하는 위치와 공간적 주의를 사용해야 하는 시각 탐색의 자극 위치를 변화시켜 2개의 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 1에서는 공간적 작업기억 과제의 자극을 탐색 자극이 제시될 수 있는 주변 영역에 제시하는 경우에도 두 과제 간의 간섭이 나타남을 보임으로써 이전 연구 결과들을 재확인하였다. 실험 2에서는 기억 자극과 탐색 자극을 모두 동일한 사분면에 제시하는 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우에서 시각 탐색과 작업기억 과제 수행을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 시각 탐색의 효율은 시각 탐색 과제만을 수행한 조건과 동일 위치 조건에 비해 비동일 위치 조건에서 유의미하게 저하되었다. 공간적 작업기억 과제의 정확률 역시 다른 조건보다 비동일 위치 조건에서 더 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 선행 연구들에서 밝혀진 공간 기억과 시각 탐색 간의 상호 간섭이 작업기억의 과부하보다는 공간적 주의의 과부하로 인한 것임을 시사한다.
Abstract
Oh and Kim (2004) and Woodman and Luck (2004) demonstrated that spatial working memory (SWM) load interfered concurrent visual search and that search process also impaired the maintenance of spatial information implying that visual search and SWM task both require access to the same limited-capacity mechanism. Two obvious possibilities have been suggested about what this shared limited-capacity mechanism is: common demand for attention to the locations where the items for the two tasks were presented (spatial attention load hypothesis), and common use of working memory to maintain a record of locations have been processed (SWM load hypothesis). To test these two hypothetical explanations, Experiment 1 replicated the mutual interference between visual search and SWM task in spite of difference of procedure with preceding researches; possible areas where the items for two tasks were presented were not separated. In Experiment 2, we presented the items for visual search either in the same quadrants where the items for SWM task had appeared (same-location condition) or in the different quadrants (different-location condition). As a result, search efficiency was more impaired in the different-location condition than in the same-location condition. The memory accuracy was worse in the different-location condition than in the same-location condition. Overall results of study indicate that the mutual interference between SWM and visual search might be related to the overload of spatial attention, but not to that of SWM.
