Attentional effort modulated by task difficulty
It has been assumed that stimulus discrimination in a visual task is performed with fixed attentive effort. Here we show that attention to the same pair of stimuli can be modulated by varying the task difficulty when a task requires the discrimination of only a small number of different stimuli. We used a matching-to-sample paradigm, where a test stimulus is presented after a sample stimulus. W...
متن کاملBehavioral Oscillations in Visual Attention Modulated by Task Difficulty
The spotlight of attention is full of discrete moments and operates periodically. Recently, it has been well-documented there were behavioral oscillations in visual attention, however, different periodicities were demonstrated. Task difficulty may be an important factor causing disagreement in attentional periodic patterns. The present study examined behavioral oscillations in visual attention ...
متن کاملMemory-driven attentional capture is modulated by temporal task demands
Previous research has shown that attention is biased towards items that match the current content of working memory (memory-driven attentional capture), but it remains unclear whether this effect is automatic or under voluntary control. Participants memorized a colour for subsequent recall and searched for a target shape among distractors that included a colour singleton which matched or mismat...

متن کاملMonetary reward increases attentional effort in the flanker task.
An important question is whether monetary reward can increase attentional effort in order to improve performance. Up to now, evidence for a positive answer is weak. Therefore, in the present study, the flanker task was used to examine this question further. Participants had to respond sooner than a certain deadline in a flanker task. One group of participants received a performance-contingent m...
