Processing redundant signals: coactivation, divided attention, or what?
The evidence for and against a redundancy gain in reaction time (RT) when the target is repeated in the visual display is reviewed. We consider the relevance of redundancy gains under these circumstances to the question of whether attention can be simultaneously directed to separate locations in the visual field. In the present experiments, two capital letters were the target stimuli in a two-a...
متن کاملThe Role of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Bimodal Divided Attention: Two Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies
The neural processes underlying the ability to divide attention between multiple sensory modalities remain poorly understood. To investigate the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in bimodal divided attention, we completed two repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) studies. We tested the hypothesis that the DLPFC is necessary in the ability to divide attention acros...
متن کاملDivided attention in music
Two models have been advanced to account for the apparent ease with which attention can be divided in music: a `̀ divided attention’ ’ model postulates that listeners effectively manage to follow two or more melodic lines played simultaneously. According to a `̀ ® gure-ground model,’’ the harmonic coherence of Western polyphonies allows a listener to focus on one melody while staying aware of the...
متن کاملAttention and Visual Perception: Analyzing Divided Attention
Attention is one of the most active areas of experimental research in cognitive science. This chapter focuses on an aspect of attention that has been studied intensively over the past twenty-five years or so: capacity limitations on our ability to perceive multiple visual inputs. The basic questions are simple but far-reaching. How much visual information can we take in at one time? What can we...
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...
