Divided attention between simultaneous auditory and visual signals.
Past studies of simultaneous attention to pairs of visual stimuli have used the "dual-task" paradigm to show that identification of the direction of a change in luminance, whether incremental or decremental, is "capacity-limited," while simple detection of these changes is governed by "capacity-free" processes. On the basis of that finding, it has been suggested that the contrast between identi...
متن کاملAttention and Visual Perception: Analyzing Divided Attention
Attention is one of the most active areas of experimental research in cognitive science. This chapter focuses on an aspect of attention that has been studied intensively over the past twenty-five years or so: capacity limitations on our ability to perceive multiple visual inputs. The basic questions are simple but far-reaching. How much visual information can we take in at one time? What can we...
متن کاملDividing attention between auditory and visual perception
To what extent is simultaneous visual and auditory perception subject to capacity limitations and attentional control? TlIW experiments addressed this question by asking observers to recognize test tones and test letters under selective and divided attention. In Experiment I, both stimuli occurred on each trial, but subjects were cued in advance to process just one or both of the stimuli. In Ex...
متن کاملNeural substrates for dividing and focusing attention between simultaneous auditory and visual events.
With information constantly bombarding the human sensory systems, how is it that we attend to behaviorally relevant information? The present study examined the behavioral and neural bases of attending to one sense while ignoring another sense (bimodal selective attention) contrasted with attending simultaneously to two senses (bimodal divided attention). In a functional magnetic resonance imagi...
متن کاملBrain activity during divided and selective attention to auditory and visual sentence comprehension tasks
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we measured brain activity of human participants while they performed a sentence congruence judgment task in either the visual or auditory modality separately, or in both modalities simultaneously. Significant performance decrements were observed when attention was divided between the two modalities compared with when one modality was selectiv...
