Searchers Switch Tactics Under Increased Mental Load
Effects of mental demands on searchers were examined by controlling tasks complexity and by assessing searchers’ working memory span (WM). The searchers were divided into low and high WM group. We expected that on more complex tasks all searchers would perform more searches to find more information. However, only high-WM searchers performed more search actions. Low-WM searchers performed about ...
متن کاملVoluntary task switching under load 3
The present study investigated the relative contribution of bottom-up and top-down control to task selection in the voluntary task switching (VTS) procedure. In order to manipulate the efficiency of top-down control, a concurrent working-memory load was imposed during VTS. In three experiments bottom-up factors such as stimulus repetitions, repetition of irrelevant information and stimulus-task...
متن کاملContrast discrimination in noise.
Even the highest contrast sensitivities that humans can achieve for the detection of targets on uniform fields fall far short of ideal values. Recent theoretical formulations have attributed departures from ideal performance to two factors--the existence of internal noise within the observer and suboptimal stimulus information sampling by the observer. It has been postulated that the contributi...
متن کاملTask-dependent color discrimination.
When an observer's ability to discriminate colored objects is estimated from the variability in color matches, the observer inspects adjacent visual fields carefully and makes considered judgments. Color discrimination does not always take place under such viewing conditions. When color video displays are used in time-critical applications (e.g., head-up displays, video control panels), the obs...
متن کاملOptimal decisions for contrast discrimination.
Contrast discrimination functions for simple gratings famously look like a dipper. Discrimination thresholds are lower than detection thresholds for moderate pedestal contrasts, and the rate of growth of thresholds as the pedestal contrast gets larger typically lies between the values implied by two popular treatments of noise. Here, we suggest a new normative treatment of the dipper, showing h...
