Voluntary eyeblinks disrupt iconic memory.
In the present research, we investigated whether eyeblinks interfere with cognitive processing. In Experiment 1, the participants performed a partial-report iconic memory task in which a letter array was presented for 106 msec, followed 50, 150, or 750 msec later by a tone that cued recall of onerow of the array. At a cue delay of 50 msec between array offset and cue onset, letter report accura...
متن کاملEffect of Emotional Picture Viewing on Voluntary Eyeblinks
Eyeblinks, whether reflexive or voluntary, play an important role in protecting our vision. When viewing pictures, reflexive eyeblinks are known to be modulated by the emotional state induced thereby. More specifically, the hedonic valence (unpleasantness-pleasantness) induced by the picture has been shown to have a linear relationship with the amplitude of a startle blink elicited during pictu...
متن کاملIconic memory requires attention
Two experiments investigated whether attention plays a role in iconic memory, employing either a change detection paradigm (Experiment 1) or a partial-report paradigm (Experiment 2). In each experiment, attention was taxed during initial display presentation, focusing the manipulation on consolidation of information into iconic memory, prior to transfer into working memory. Observers were able ...
متن کاملIconic memory or icon?
of the original article: Without disputing the experimental evidence that subjects have available most of the content of brief displays for a fraction of a second, or that visual stimuli persist after their physical termination for a similar time, I argue that this evidence is irrelevant to perception. Specifically the notion of an icon as a brief storage of information persisting after stimulu...
متن کاملVoluntary, spontaneous, and reflex blinking in Parkinson's disease.
Blinking, a motor act consisting of a closing and an opening eyelid movement, can be performed voluntarily, spontaneously, and reflexly. In this study we investigated the kinematic features of voluntary, spontaneous, and reflex blinking in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), OFF and ON dopaminergic treatment. Patients were asked to blink voluntarily as fast as possible. Spontaneous blinking...
