A feature integration theory of attention
Treisman, A. and Gelade, G. (1980)
Cognitive Psychology, 12, 97-136
- Nominator's statement
- Treisman and Gelade's Feature Integration theory provided the basis for a number of studies that are still being conducted nearly 20 years following the original publication. Not only did the theory explain a large body of data, but more importantly, the theory was clear and easy to understand. As with all theories, it cannot explain all the data, but it does explain a large body of data in a clear concise form.
