The FeatureGate model of visual selection was developed by Kyle Cave asan attempt to explain the results from a number of different studies in visual attention. The model follows a neural network consisting of a hierarchy of spatial maps.
Attentional gates control the flow of information at each level of the hierarchy. They are jointly controlled by a Bottom-Up System, favoring locations with unique features, and a Top-Down System, favoring locations with features designated as target features.
The model is called FeatureGate because the gating of each location depends on the features present.
The model helps integrate a number of findings related to:
- Visual search: both parallel feature searches and serial conjunction searches; variations in search slope with variations in feature contrast etc
- Individual differences in attention,
- Attentional gradients triggered by cuing,
- feature-driven spatial selection,
- split attention,
- Object-based attention:both the inhibition of distractor locations, and flanking inhibition.
