Attention 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 کاملDivided attention in music
Two models have been advanced to account for the apparent ease with which attention can be divided in music: a `̀ divided attention’ ’ model postulates that listeners effectively manage to follow two or more melodic lines played simultaneously. According to a `̀ ® gure-ground model,’’ the harmonic coherence of Western polyphonies allows a listener to focus on one melody while staying aware of the...
متن کاملEffects of total sleep deprivation on divided attention performance
Dividing attention across two tasks performed simultaneously usually results in impaired performance on one or both tasks. Most studies have found no difference in the dual-task cost of dividing attention in rested and sleep-deprived states. We hypothesized that, for a divided attention task that is highly cognitively-demanding, performance would show greater impairment during exposure to sleep...

15 صفحه اولRunning head: MEMORY RETENTION AND DIVIDED ATTENTION 1 Divided Attention: An Undesirable Difficulty in Memory Retention
How can we improve memory retention? A large body of research suggests that difficulty encountered during learning, such as when practice sessions are distributed rather than massed, can enhance later memory performance (see Bjork & Bjork, 1992). Here, we investigated whether divided attention during retrieval practice can also constitute a desirable difficulty. Following two initial study phas...
