Working Memory Load and the Stroop Interference Effect
Although the effect of working memory (WM) load on the degree of distractor processing has been investigated in a number of paradigms, a common feature in prior research is that the target and distractors pertain to different objects. The present experiments examine the effect of WM load on distractor interference when the relevant and irrelevant features belong to the same object. In Experimen...
متن کاملVirtual reality Stroop task for assessment of supervisory attentional processing.
The current project is a preliminary attempt at assessing the potential of a three-dimensional virtual reality Stroop task (VRST) for investigation of supervisory attentional processing. The VRST was compared with paper-and-pencil and computer automated (two-dimensional) versions of the Stroop. Psychophysiological measures were also used to assess varying levels of user arousal. The three versi...
متن کاملSize of the attentional focus and efficiency of processing.
By following Eriksen and St. James (1986) the experiments reported in this study focused upon three questions: (a) Can the spatial extent of the attentional focus be made to vary in response to precues? (b) As the area of the attentional focus increases, is there a decrease in processing efficiency for stimuli within the focus? (c) Is the boundary of the focus sharply demarked from the residual...
متن کاملMemory-load interference in syntactic processing.
Participants remembered a short set of words while reading syntactically complex sentences (object-extracted clefts) and syntactically simpler sentences (subject-extracted clefts) in a memory-load study. The study also manipulated whether the words in the set and the words in the sentence were of matched or unmatched types (common nouns vs. proper names). Performance in sentence comprehension w...
متن کاملThe emotional Stroop interference effect in anxiety: attentional bias or cognitive avoidance?
Interference effects on threat words in anxious subjects on the emotional Stroop task have generally been interpreted as evidence for mood-congruent attentional bias in anxiety states. However, several recent studies have yielded results that run contrary to this attentional bias explanation. The most important of these conflicting findings show that: (1) panic disorder patients displayed inter...
