Brain 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...
متن کاملPrefrontal Cortical Response to Conflict during Semantic and Phonological Tasks
Debates about the function of the prefrontal cortex are as old as the field of neuropsychology--often dated to Paul Broca's seminal work. Theories of the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex can be roughly divided into those that describe organization by process and those that describe organization by material. Recent studies of the function of the posterior, left inferior frontal g...
متن کاملGender Differences in Auditory Perception and Computational Divided Attention Tasks
Women have been stereotyped as better multitaskers when compared to their male counterparts. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in gender performance when performing cognitive combined tasks. Twenty-four graduate students (twelve females and twelve males) volunteered to participate in the study. The task required participants to indicate when they perceiv...
متن کاملMice lacking dopamine D2 and D3 receptors exhibit differential activation of prefrontal cortical neurons during tasks requiring attention.
Mice lacking dopamine D2 and D3 receptors and wildtype littermates were tested in a two-choice perceptual discrimination test that is dependent upon optimal functioning of the prefrontal cortex. Both mutants showed no deficits in attending to the perceptual stimuli or in shifting attention between stimulus dimensions. However, the performance of both mutants differed from the wildtype in differ...
متن کاملAccommodative response and cortical activity during sustained attention
Greater accommodative lag and vergence deficits have been linked to attentional deficits similar to those observed in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of accommodative-vergence stress on a measure of sustained attention (Conners CPT) used in the diagnosis of ADHD. Twenty-seven normal non-ADHD adults completed the Conners ...
