Visual attention functions as a filter to select environmental information for learning and memory, making it the first step in the eventual cascade of thought and action systems. Here, we review studies of typical and atypical visual attention development and explain how they offer insights into the mechanisms of adult visual attention. We detail interactions between visual processing and visual attention, as well as the contribution of visual attention to memory. Finally, we discuss genetic mechanisms underlying attention disorders and how attention may be modified by training.
视觉注意力起着过滤器的作用,用于选择环境信息以进行学习和记忆,使其成为最终一系列思维和行动系统的第一步。在此,我们回顾了典型和非典型视觉注意力发展的研究,并解释它们如何为成人视觉注意力的机制提供见解。我们详细阐述了视觉处理与视觉注意力之间的相互作用,以及视觉注意力对记忆的贡献。最后,我们讨论了注意力障碍背后的遗传机制,以及注意力如何通过训练得到改善。
