Efficient grasping requires attentional resources
We investigated the effects of visuo-spatial attention on the kinematics of grasping movements by employing a dual-task paradigm. Participants had to grasp cylindrical objects of different sizes (motor task) while simultaneously identifying a target digit presented at a different spatial location within a rapid serial visual presentation (perceptual task). The grasping kinematics in this dual-t...
متن کاملSubitizing but not estimation of numerosity requires attentional resources.
The numerosity of small numbers of objects, up to about four, can be rapidly appraised without error, a phenomenon known as subitizing. Larger numbers can either be counted, accurately but slowly, or estimated, rapidly but with errors. There has been some debate as to whether subitizing uses the same or different mechanisms than those of higher numerical ranges and whether it requires attention...
متن کاملAttentional landscapes in reaching and grasping
It is well established that during the preparation and execution of goal-directed movements, perceptual processing is biased towards the goal. Most of the previous work on the relation between action and attention has focused on rather simple movements, such as single saccades or manual reaches towards a single target. Here we review recent behavioural and neurophysiological studies on manual a...
متن کاملBinding faces and names in working memory requires additional attentional resources
In this study we used the dual-task paradigm to investigate the involvement of attention in the binding of verbal and visual information in working memory. A secondary task, backward counting by threes (BCT), was performed during the retention interval of the primary recognition task based on either visual or verbal information or the binding of both. The BCT affected accuracy and response time...
متن کاملSeparate attentional resources for vision and audition.
Current models of attention, typically claim that vision and audition are limited by a common attentional resource which means that visual performance should be adversely affected by a concurrent auditory task and vice versa. Here, we test this implication by measuring auditory (pitch) and visual (contrast) thresholds in conjunction with cross-modal secondary tasks and find that no such interfe...
