Telephone conversation impairs sustained visual attention via a central bottleneck.
Recent research has shown that holding telephone conversations disrupts one's driving ability. We asked whether this effect could be attributed to a visual attention impairment. In Experiment 1, participants conversed on a telephone or listened to a narrative while engaged in multiple object tracking (MOT), a task requiring sustained visual attention. We found that MOT was disrupted in the tele...
متن کاملVisual field attention is reduced by concomitant hands-free conversation on a cellular telephone.
PURPOSE To quantify the central attention-diverting effect of hands-free cellular phone conversation on visual field awareness. DESIGN Experimental study. METHODS Twenty male and 21 female healthy participants performed a pretest and baseline Esterman visual field examinations with the Humphrey Systems Visual Field Analyzer II. During the consequent third examination, each participant engag...
متن کاملDiazepam impairs temporal dynamics of visual attention.
The effect of benzodiazepines on attention has been the object of few investigations. Studies using the spatial cueing paradigm (Posner's paradigm) have reported inconsistent results, which are likely due to methodological and/or dose differences but suggest impaired disengagement of attention from the cue to the target. The authors investigated the effect of a benzodiazepine (diazepam) on atte...
متن کاملVisual working memory as visual attention sustained internally over time.
Visual working memory and visual attention are intimately related, such that working memory encoding and maintenance reflects actively sustained attention to a limited number of visual objects and events important for ongoing cognition and action. Although attention is typically considered to operate over perceptual input, a recent taxonomy proposes to additionally consider how attention can be...
متن کاملa computer-based sustained visual attention test for pre-school children: design, development and psychometric properties
background: sustained visual attention is a prerequisite for learning and memory. the early evaluation of attention in childhood is essential for their school and career success in the future. the aim of this study was to design, development and investigation of psychometric properties (content, face and convergent validity and test-retest and internal consistency reliability) of the computer -...
