Sensitivity of spatial integration to perceptual cues is preserved in healthy aging
Spatial integration has been shown to substantially decline with age. We examined the mechanism underlying this age-related impairment. Young and older adults were tested on the ability to integrate contour elements across variations in the collinearity of the target elements, their spatial proximity, and the relative spacing of the target elements to the background noise elements (Δ). The resu...
متن کاملIntegration of Multimodal Cues in Perceptual Segmentation
How are multiple, multimodal sensory stimuli used in segmenting spatio-temporal events? For an answer, we measured the effect of various auditory or visual stimuli, in isolation or in combination, on a bistable percept of visual motion. To minimize individual differences, the physical properties of stimuli were adjusted according to reflect each subject’s strength of response. When put into com...
متن کاملChanges in perceptual sensitivity related to spatial cues depends on subcortical activity.
Spatial cues allow animals to selectively attend to relevant visual stimuli while ignoring distracters. This process depends on a distributed neuronal network, and an important current challenge is to understand the functional contributions made by individual brain regions within this network and how these contributions interact. Recent findings point to a possible anatomical segregation, with ...
متن کاملSpeech Cues Contribute to Audiovisual Spatial Integration
Speech is the most important form of human communication but ambient sounds and competing talkers often degrade its acoustics. Fortunately the brain can use visual information, especially its highly precise spatial information, to improve speech comprehension in noisy environments. Previous studies have demonstrated that audiovisual integration depends strongly on spatiotemporal factors. Howeve...
متن کاملEmotional enhancement of perceptual priming is preserved in aging and early-stage Alzheimer's disease.
Perceptual priming for emotionally-negative and neutral scenes was tested in early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and healthy younger, middle-aged and older adults. In the study phase, participants rated the scenes for their arousal properties. In the test phase, studied and novel scenes were initially presented subliminally, and the exposure duration was gradually increased until a va...
