Relations Among Endogenous Attention, Executive Functioning, and Global Assessment Measures in Toddlers and Preschoolers Born Full-Term and Preterm
… an increased risk (2-3 times greater) for later attentional problems. With the high rate of attentional issues in later childhood, it is crucial to assess young children born preterm with a valid measure. Currently, global assessments are commonly utilized in neonatal follow-up programs as a …

Neural Correlates of Tactile Attention: Behavioural measures and event-related brain potentials of inhibition of return, exogenous and endogenous attention in touch
… thesis investigated the neural correlates of attention in touch. In particular, the electrophysiology of exogenous tactile processing and inhibition of return (IOR) - an area previously unexplored. In all studies a variation of the Posner cue-target paradigm was used. Typically, a cue was …

Effects of action video game training on spatial attention
… that action video game play improves top-down attentional control. A current learning to learn theory proposes that probabilistic inference, the ability to identify statistical patterns and create task-relevant perceptual templates to efficiently orient endogenous attention, underlies video …

Identifying Attention Commonalities and Differences Between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder
… examined one of Posner and Petersen’s (1990) attention networks (i.e., orienting – the ability to selectively focus on pertinent information) in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as compared to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). The orienting processes of …

What's in a game: Examining the effect of video game experience across reading and attentional domains
… understood. In this thesis, we evaluate whether attentional processes may be a driving force behind the relationship between reading and video game experience. We additionally examined lexical and sublexical processing more precisely than previous studies by using exception words to encourage …

Specialized Signals for Spatial Attention in the Ventral and Dorsal Visual Streams
… functions in terms of their code for spatial attention, whose control was typically associated with the dorsal stream and prefrontal areas. We took advantage of recent fMRI studies that provide a systematic map of cortical areas modulated by spatial attention and suggest PITd, a ventral stream …
