Abstract

It was investigated whether the spatial frequencies are equal in their competition for attention. Two images of the same object were simultaneously presented (eccentricity 7 a.d.). They differed in spatial frequency. Attention capture was determined by the shift of gaze. Stimuli with spatial frequency 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 cpd were used. The specific order of the spatial frequencies to attract attention was found. It was revealed that this sequence does not change when the category of objects changes.
