The anterior N1 component as an index of modality shifting.

30 Aug 2009 Processing of a given target is facilitated when it is defined within the same (e.g., visual-visual), compared to a different (e.g., tactile-visual), perceptual modality as on the previous trial [Spence, C., Nicholls, M., & Driver, J. The cost of ...

Multimodal effects of local context on target detection: evidence from P3b.

30 Aug 2009 We used the P300 component to investigate how changes in local context influenced the ability to detect target stimuli. Local context was defined as the occurrence of a short predictive series of stimuli before delivery of a target event. EEG was ...

Aging, hearing acuity, and the attentional costs of effortful listening.

30 Aug 2009 A dual-task interference paradigm was used to investigate the effect of perceptual effort on recall of spoken word lists by young and older adults with good hearing and with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. In addition to poorer recall accuracy, ...

Eye movements and the perceptual span in older and younger readers.

30 Aug 2009 The size of the perceptual span (or the span of effective vision) in older readers was examined with the moving window paradigm (G. W. McConkie & K. Rayner, 1975). Two experiments demonstrated that older readers have a smaller and more symmetric ...

Age differences in strategic behavior during a computation-based skill acquisition task.

30 Aug 2009 The authors evaluated mechanistic and metacognitive accounts of age differences in strategy transitions during skill acquisition. Old and young participants were trained on a task involving a shift from performing a novel arithmetic algorithm to ...

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 ...

Aging minds and twisting attitudes: an fMRI investigation of age differences in inhibiting prejudice.

30 Aug 2009 Cognitive capacity is believed to decline with age, but it is not known whether this decline extends to tasks involving social cognition. In the current study, social neuroscience methodologies were used to examine the effects of age-related ...

Selective attention to emotion in the aging brain.

30 Aug 2009 A growing body of research suggests that the ability to regulate emotion remains stable or improves across the adult life span. Socioemotional selectivity theory maintains that this pattern of findings reflects the prioritization of emotional goals. ...

Automaticity of cognitive control: goal priming in response-inhibition paradigms.

30 Aug 2009 Response inhibition is a hallmark of cognitive control. An executive system inhibits responses by activating a stop goal when a stop signal is presented. The authors asked whether the stop goal could be primed by task-irrelevant information in ...

Bayesian rationality in evaluating multiple testimonies: incorporating the role of coherence.

30 Aug 2009 Routinely in day-to-day life, as well as in formal settings such as the courtroom, people must aggregate information they receive from different sources. One intuitively important but underresearched factor in this context is the degree to which the ...
