Domain-Specific Control of Selective Attention
Previous research has shown that loading information on working memory affects selective attention. However, whether the load effect on selective attention is domain-general or domain-specific remains unresolved. The domain-general effect refers to the findings that load in one content (e.g. phonological) domain in working memory influences processing in another content (e.g., visuospatial) dom...
متن کاملFeature-specific effects of selective visual attention
Four experiments were conducted to quantify the effect of performing a foveal discrimination task on sensitivity for a peripheral grating. The observer's primary task was to discriminate either the spatial frequency or orientation of successive foveal Gabor patches. On a third of the trials they also performed a secondary task to detect the presence of a near-threshold grating in the periphery....
متن کاملAutonomous Multi-Domain Attention Control
This paper addresses four questions concerning control of attention: how to direct attention to novel or ‘interesting’ events in the world, how to separate novel or interesting information from everything else, how to perform this segmentation of the world at multiple levels, how to develop perceptual machinery capable of this. To all four questions we provide answers arising from work in our W...
متن کاملAttention, intention and domain-specific processing.
Many researchers use subliminal priming to investigate domain-specific processing mechanisms, which have classically been defined in terms of their autonomy from other cognitive systems. Surprisingly, recent research has demonstrated that nonconsciously elicited cognitive processes are not independent of attention. By extension, these findings have been used to call into question the autonomy o...
متن کاملModulation of selective attention by polarity-specific tDCS effects.
Selective attention relies on working memory to maintain an attention set of task priorities. Consequently, selective attention is more efficient when working memory resources are not depleted. However, there is some evidence that distractors are processed even when working memory load is low. We used tDCS to assess whether boosting the activity of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC), in...
