The effect of retrospective attention on memory systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-09)
Prior research has shown that visual working memory (VWM) performance can be improved via retrospective cues (“retro-cues”) that spatially indicate which item currently being held in working memory will be probed at test. ...
The influence of valid and invalid context memory cues at encoding
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-10-24)
Previous episodic memory studies have found that neural activity preceding a to-be-encoded event can reflect subsequent memory performance. This neural activity is thought to reflect the preparatory engagement of cognitive ...
The implications of attention control on working memory span
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-05-05)
Previous research has suggested that attention control is strongly implicated in working memory span. The current study utilized participants who had previously been tested for working memory capacity with the operation ...
Aging and Memory: Attentional Resources and Cognitive Control
(2019-03-25)
In this talk I will examine the proposition that age-related memory problems are largely attributable to declines in attentional resources and executive control, and will illustrate the arguments with experimental results ...
The role of synesthetic correspondence in intersensory binding: investigating an unrecognized confound in multimodal perception research
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-01-08)
The current program of research tests the following main hypotheses: 1) Synesthetic correspondence is an amodal property that serves to bind intersensory signals and manipulating this correspondence between pairs of ...
Multimodal investigation of mind wandering and attention lapses
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-07-24)
The neuroscience of mind wandering has advanced appreciably over the past decade. By applying convergent methods that span self-reports, behavioral indexes, and neuroimaging, researchers have been able to gain an understanding ...
Attending to pictorial depth: electrophysiological and behavioral evidence of visuospatial attention in apparent depth
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005-04-21)
Visual attention has long been described in terms of the spotlight metaphor, which assumes that two-dimensional regions of the visual field are selectively processed. However, evidence suggests that attention can be ...
An investigation of perceptual load, aging, and the functional field of view
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005-11-29)
A common metaphor for visual attention is the spotlight (Posner, 1980). It follows from the spotlight metaphor and other similar models (e.g., zoom-lens model; Eriksen and Yeh, 1985) that attention can, according to ...
Investigating the roles of features and priming in visual search
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-06-01)
Identifying and locating specific objects amidst irrelevant, distracting items can be difficult when one is unsure of where, or even what, to look for. Priming the perceptual/cognitive system for specific features or ...
Explaining dual-task implicit learning deficits: the effect of within stimulus presentation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-04-04)
Under typical between stimulus dual-task conditions, implicit sequence learning typically suffers, except under within stimulus conditions, where the stimuli for both tasks are the same. This finding is inconclusive, ...
