The Complexity of Visual Search Tasks

چکیده
One of the most frustrating things about studying attention is that research is so often is accompanied by vague discussions of capacity limits, bottlenecks, resource limits, allocations of attentional resources, and the like. How can these notions be made more concrete? The sub-area of computer science known as Computational Complexity is concerned with the theoretical issues dealing with the cost of achieving solutions to problems in terms of time, memory and processing power as a function of problem size. How much of attentional behaviour can be explained using this viewpoint?

متن کاملPersian Phonological Awareness Tests: A Comparative Analysis
Objectives: Phonological awareness is an extensive skill for detecting, manipulating, or analyzing the components of oral language, apart from their referents. The phonological awareness consists of different levels from the simplest to the most difficult level. We considered two Persian phonological awareness tests (visual and auditory) with different subtests. This research aimed to investiga...

This study compares three integrated tasks of the TOEFL iBT speaking subtest in terms of complexity, accuracy, and fluency. To this end, a group of TOEFL iBT Iranian candidates took a simulated TOEFL iBT some days prior to their real exam. The collected oral responses were first transcribed and then quantified using software such as ‘Syllable Counter’ and ‘Coh-Metrix3’ for fluency and complexit...
