Selective Effects of Selective Attention
<p>Selective Attention is the process by which an individual attends to one stimulus while ignoring other distracting stimuli. Selective attention at encoding has been found to consistently impair memory performance. However, little research has found conclusive evidence as to the impact of …

Hemispheric Mechanisms of Visuospatial Selective Attention
… bias enhances a hemisphere's contralateral attentional bias at multiple levels of processing, and individuals can reduce the influence of hemispheric utilization bias when it is detrimental to task performance.

Movement Characteristics of Visual Selective Attention
This research compares two descriptions of visual selective attention. Spotlight descriptions claim that attention moves with a constant velocity (Tsal, 1983) and processes information in its path (Shulman, Remington, & McLean, 1979) while the zoom lens description (Eriksen & St. James, 1986) …

Learning visual tasks with selective attention
Knowing where to look in an image can significantly improve performance in computer vision tasks by eliminating irrelevant information from the rest of the input image, and by breaking down complex scenes into simpler and more familiar sub-components. We show that a framework for identifying …

Aging and Selective Attention in Causal Learning
<p>This study investigated age differences in generalization of causal value employing similarity as a cue to causality. Exemplars from six food categories (A+, B-, C+, D-. E+, F-) were presented to both young and older adults in two contiguous training phases. Training Phase 1 included exemplars …

Selective Attention: Noise Suppression and Signal Enhancement
Whether visual selective attention is manifested under display conditions containing no competing or irrelevant noise elements has become a topic of increasingly widespread interest in visual information processing. The results of many early detection studies suggest that attention is the filtering …

Auditory and Visual Selective Attention and Reading Ability
While selective attention has been the subject of a considerable number of research studies, comparatively few of those studies have examined that variable in relation to reading ability. Similarly there is a dearth of studies looking at selective attention in both auditory and visual modalities.

Perceptual organization and selective attention: Age-related effects
… performance has suggested that changes in visual selective attention are related to changes in driving performance with age. The research reported here seeks to complement past research by investigating age-related changes in facets of visual selection attention that have not been thoroughly …

Selective Attention, Reflection-Impulsivity and the Learning Disabled Child.
… the learning disabled child has indicated that attentional deficits and poor impulse control impair the learning process. The learning disabled child, experiencing developmental delays in his ability to sustain attention, may still be over inclusively attending to more aspects of the stimulus …

The neurophysiology of intersensory selective attention and task switching
<p>Our ability to selectively attend to certain aspects of the world and ignore others is fundamental to our day-to-day lives. The need for selective attention stems from capacity limitations inherent in our perceptual and cognitive processing architecture. Because not every elemental piece of our …

Investigating the Relationship Between Working Memory and Selective Attention
… in the short term, and the ability to selectively find and process relevant objects while preventing distraction. These two abilities have traditionally been viewed as distinct processes in human cognition, however research now demonstrates significant overlap between the constructs of …

Selective Attention of Young Children to Unfamiliar Musical Stimuli
… responses of the children contain evidence of selective attention to the musical elements of pitch, rhythm, and texture? (2) To what extent does repetition of stimuli affect the child's response? (3) To what extent do responses differ among 4, 5, 6, and 9 year old children?

Selective attention under different pressure sources and perceptual loads
… a flanker task, this study investigated how selective attention under different perceptual loads is affected by pressure. The first three experiments examined the pressure effects on selective attention of non-emotional stimuli using letters, and the fourth experiment investigated emotional …

Neural and Behavioural Effects of Bilingualism on Selective Attention
… been shown to modulate the neural mechanisms of selective attention, with differences between monolinguals and bilinguals observed even when they display equivalent behavioural performance in a selective attention task. This suggests that the crucial consequence of learning and using multiple …

Effects of Selective Attention on Sensory Processing of Visual Motion
Die vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie kognitive Einflüsse die Verarbeitung sensorischer Information beeinflussen. Der Hauptteil der Arbeit besteht aus sieben Orginalartikeln und Manuskripten. Drei der Artikel sind bereits in wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften …

Electrophysiological systems underlying human domain-general cognition and selective attention
… dynamics support domain-general cognition and selective attention is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms that enable flexible cognitive processing across tasks. This thesis investigates the contributions of electrophysiological systems—including oscillatory, aperiodic, and evoked responses—to …
