Contextual Cueing under Divided Attention Spatial Context Learning Survives Interference from Working Memory Load Contextual Cueing under Divided Attention Contextual Cueing under Divided Attention
The human visual system is constantly confronted with an overwhelming amount of information, only a subset of which can be processed in complete detail. Attention and implicit learning are two important mechanisms that optimize vision. This study addresses the relationship between these two mechanisms. Specifically we ask: Is implicit learning of spatial context affected by the amount of workin...
متن کاملContribution of frontal and temporal lobe function to memory interference from divided attention at retrieval.
On the basis of their scores on composite measures of frontal and temporal lobe function, derived from neuropsychological testing, seniors were divided preexperimentally into 4 groups. Participants studied a list of unrelated words under full attention and recalled them while concurrently performing an animacy decision task to words, an odd-digit identification task to numbers, or no distractin...
متن کاملRunning head: MEMORY RETENTION AND DIVIDED ATTENTION 1 Divided Attention: An Undesirable Difficulty in Memory Retention
How can we improve memory retention? A large body of research suggests that difficulty encountered during learning, such as when practice sessions are distributed rather than massed, can enhance later memory performance (see Bjork & Bjork, 1992). Here, we investigated whether divided attention during retrieval practice can also constitute a desirable difficulty. Following two initial study phas...
متن کاملInvited Address: Divided Attention and Working Memory after Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: From Assessment to Rehabilitation
J.PONSFORD.It’snotonlytheinjurythatmatters,butthekindofhead. Much neuropsychological research has focused on the effects of injury to various parts of the brain. Increasingly sophisticated neuropathological and neuroimaging studies have identified the nature and common sites of diffuse axonal injury associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neuropsychological studies have elucidated the ...
متن کاملWorking-memory capacity, proactive interference, and divided attention: limits on long-term memory retrieval.
Two experiments examined how individual differences in working-memory capacity (WM) relate to proactive interference (PI) susceptibility. We tested high and low WM-span participants in a PI-buildup task under single-task or dual-task ("load") conditions. In Experiment 1, a finger-tapping task was imposed during encoding and retrieval of each list; in Experiment 2, tapping was required during en...
