Using the attention cascade model to probe cognitive aging.

30 Aug 2009 Young and older adults searched for 2 digit targets among black letter distractors in rapid serial visual presentation. Unsurprisingly, relative to the young, the older adults performed worse on both targets and exhibited greater and longer ... Read more...

The auditory redundant signals effect: an influence of number of stimuli or number of percepts?

30 Jul 2009 In two experiments, we examined simple reaction times (RTs) for detection of the onsets and offsets of auditory stimuli. Both experiments assessed the redundant signals effect (RSE), which is traditionally defined as the reduction in RT associated ... Read more...

Are spatial selection and identity extraction separable when attention is controlled endogenously?

30 Jul 2009 Visual search for a target involves two processes: spatial selection and identity extraction. Ghorashi, Enns, and Di Lollo (2008) found these processes to be independent and surmised that they were carried out along distinct visual pathways: dorsal ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Attentional Blink'

Definition: Temporary visual deficit or impaired visual processing occurring in a rapid serial visual presentation task. After a person identifies the first of two visual targets, the ability to detect the second target is impaired for the next few hundred milliseconds. This phenomenon is called attentional blink.
