Ignoring Irrelevant Facts and Operators in Plan Generation
It is traditional wisdom that one should start from the goals when generating a plan in order to focus the plan generation process on potentially relevant actions. The graphplan system, however, which is the most eecient planning system nowadays, builds a \planning graph" in a forward-chaining manner. Although this strategy seems to work well, it may possibly lead to problems if the planning ta...
متن کاملHappy Distraction: Positive Affect Broadens Attention to Irrelevant Information
The present study investigated the claim that positive mood broadens the scope of attention to include irrelevant information, and if so, whether this loosening of attentional control has longer term cognitive consequences. In Experiment 1, participants in an induced happy mood were more influenced by distracting information that interfered with responses in the global-local task, particularly ...
متن کاملIntermodal Attention Shifts in Multimodal Working Memory
Attention maintains task-relevant information in working memory (WM) in an active state. We investigated whether the attention-based maintenance of stimulus representations that were encoded through different modalities is flexibly controlled by top-down mechanisms that depend on behavioral goals. Distinct components of the ERP reflect the maintenance of tactile and visual information in WM. We...
متن کاملAuditory selective attention is enhanced by a task-irrelevant temporally coherent visual stimulus in human listeners
In noisy settings, listening is aided by correlated dynamic visual cues gleaned from a talker's face-an improvement often attributed to visually reinforced linguistic information. In this study, we aimed to test the effect of audio-visual temporal coherence alone on selective listening, free of linguistic confounds. We presented listeners with competing auditory streams whose amplitude varied i...
متن کاملAltered visual-spatial attention to task-irrelevant information is associated with falls risk in older adults.
Executive cognitive functions play a critical role in falls risk—a pressing health care issue in seniors. In particular, intact attentional processing is integral for safe mobility and navigation. However, the specific contribution of impaired visual–spatial attention in falls remains unclear. In this study, we examined the association between visual–spatial attention to task-irrelevant stimuli...
