A theory proposing early registration of separable visual features and a role for focused attention in correctly binding their conjunctions into objects. Visual-search slopes and binding errors are complementary tests, not interchangeable proofs of one serial architecture. The original model already recognized possible top-down constraints on unattended feature combinations.[ref]
A reported or measured binding of features into a combination not present in the display, such as assigning one item's color to another item's shape. Such errors support a distinction between feature availability and correct assignment, while their perceptual, memory and response contributions require task-specific controls.
