Abstract
The binding problem, e.g. [1]; [2], how information is integrated, and coherent representational states established in distributed neuronal systems [3] remains a major conceptual problem in neuroscience. This study was designed to achieve a further understanding of the object feature binding problem by analysing the occurrence and proximity of spatial and temporal errors in a search task. A post-cue rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) paradigm was adopted for each condition: spatial (SC), temporal (TC) and spatio-temporal (STC). Observers were required to report the size and orientation of the object that corresponded to the post-cue colour. Stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) was determined in practice trials to achieve ~50% error for each participant in condition. Fifteen participants completed 64 trials in the three conditions. Results suggest that when spatial location information exists, it is primary, when it does not, temporal location information is used. When both spatial and temporal properties are available, spatial properties facilitate binding, and temporal properties hinder it.
