The efficiency of attention varies as a function of experience. To date, research on this "context-driven" attention has focused on how experience accumulates across perceptual dimensions such as location and shape. In the current talk, I will describe the results of experiments conducted in my lab that explore the extent to which social categories (such as gender and race) support context-driven attention and how the characteristics of participants influence how attention is allocated across these dimensions. https://bard.zoom.us/j/82806995330
