Factors that influence motor performance: Colour, inhibition and conscious processing
… colour, inhibition function, and propensity for conscious control of movement. A question was raised about whether individuals with poor inhibition function would be more likely to have a high propensity for conscious control (i.e., reinvestment) because they are less able to inhibit conscious …

Conscious and Automatic Processing of Semantic and Acoustic Attributes by Mildly Mentally Retarded and Nonretarded Young Adults.
… of semantic and acoustic word attributes. In the conscious processing task, one group rated each stimulus word as "good" or "bad" (incidental semantic task), another group formed rhyme (incidental acoustic group) and a third group was given no processing strategy. Subjects were tested using a …

Advertising distractor devaluation under perceptual and cognitive load
… as an active elimination of ad effect after conscious processing. However, recent research demonstrates that ignoring (passive avoidance) is also a common strategy used by Internet viewers when they encounter a distracting ad. The act of ignoring due largely to our limited processing capacity …

EXPLORING GRAPHICAL DISPLAY EFFECTS IN THE CONTEXT OF PROCESSING AND DECISION-MAKING STYLES
… were used to interfere with people’s processing and decision making in order to determine whether the different displays are processed consciously versus automatically, as well as the degree to which they promote rational versus intuitive decisions. Individual differences in thinking …

The role of memory for trauma in the development of post-traumatic stress disorder following traumatic brain injury and research portfolio
… in order to investigate the possible role of sub-conscious processes (such as implicit memory or fear conditioning) in the development of PTSD after TBI. PTSD symptoms were assessed by a self-report questionnaire (Post-traumatic Diagnostic Scale; PDS) and the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale so …

Neural dynamics of the anesthetized brain and the control of conscious states
General anesthesia (GA) reversibly induces unconsciousness. It is arguably the most powerful brain state manipulation that clinicians and researchers can reliably perform. However, the mechanisms underlying GA at the neural systems level are underexplored and largely not understood. To link neural …

Cognitive deficits in chronic fatigue syndrome
… more recently the theory that there is slowed processing has been suggested. Standard neuropychological tests have been used and been helpful in the description of this slowing, however an explanation for this slowing has not been postulated. This thesis proposes a slowed processing theory of …

Exploring the attentional processes of expert performers and the impact of priming on motor skill execution
… pressure occurs as a result of a combination of conscious processing hypothesis (Masters, 1992) and processing efficiency theory (Eysenck & Calvo, 1992) and that an optimum level of skill-focused attention is beneficial to performance. The following studies utilised this information as well as …

WHEN THE MOB BOSS, DRUG LORD, AND MALEVOLENT QUEEN AREN’T ALL BAD: AUDIENCES’ COMPLEX UNDERSTANDING OF AND ALLEGIANCE TO FICTIONAL ANTIHERO CHARACTERS IN TELEVISION AND FILM
… The findings also highlight the dynamic processing style and mixed automatic/conscious processing that was common across participants in all three studies. Three themes capture more specific details regarding several elements, concepts, and processes involved in audience engagement with …

A methodology and support tool for environmentally conscious design and manufacture.
… as design for disassembly and environmentally conscious processing becoming apparent.In response many tools have been developed in recent years to assist engineers and designers in their attempts to address the emerging environmental problems. The most universally adopted is that of Life-Cycle …

Cognitive Audio: Enabling Auditory Interfaces with an Understanding of How We Hear
… coupling insight into the workings of auditory processing, beginning with abstractions in pre-conscious processing, with new frontiers in interface design and state-of-the-art infrastructure for parsing and identifying sound objects, as a means of unlocking audio technologies that are much more …

The cognitive function of the DMN and its role in consciousness
… DMN is important for normal brain function and consciousness. Although the DMN has been intensively studied during resting states, evidence about its involvement in tasks is relatively sparse and largely inconsistent. In addition, a mechanistic understanding of how the DMN supports information …

On the fate and consequences of conscious and non-conscious vision
What we consciously see in our everyday life is not an exact copy of the information that our eyes receive from the external world. Our brain actively elaborates and transforms the light that impinges onto the two dimensional surface of our retinas to create complex three dimensional scenes full of …

Investigating the Use of Choking Intervention Strategies With Choking-Susceptible Athletes
… measuring trait anxiety (A-trait), self-consciousness (S-C), and coping styles, were accurate predictors of non-choking behaviour with the 4 CR athletes. The psychological inventories, however, were less accurate predictors of choking behaviour with the 4 CS athletes (predicting two out …
