Divided visual attention as a predictor of bumping while walking: the Salisbury Eye Evaluation.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the association between bumping while walking and divided visual attention, as measured by the useful field of view (UFOV). METHODS The Salisbury Eye Evaluation is a population-based study of community-dwelling adults, aged 72 to 92 at the third round of data collection. Participants walked a circuitous 32.8-m course, seeded with obstacles, a...
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 کاملWalking while Performing Working Memory Tasks Changes the Prefrontal Cortex Hemodynamic Activations and Gait Kinematics
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that walking while performing a concurrent task negatively influences gait performance. However, it remains unclear how higher-level cognitive processes and coordination of limb movements are altered in challenging walking environments. This study investigated the influence of cognitive task complexity and walking road condition on the neutral correlates ...
متن کاملThe Role of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Bimodal Divided Attention: Two Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies
The neural processes underlying the ability to divide attention between multiple sensory modalities remain poorly understood. To investigate the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in bimodal divided attention, we completed two repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) studies. We tested the hypothesis that the DLPFC is necessary in the ability to divide attention acros...
متن کاملEvaluation of the divided attention condition during functional analyses.
A common condition included in most functional analyses (FAs) is the attention condition, in which the therapist ignores the client by engaging in a solitary activity (antecedent event) but delivers attention to the client contingent on problem behavior (consequent event). The divided attention condition is similar, except that the antecedent event consists of the therapist conversing with an a...
