Selective attention and serial processing in briefly presented visual displays
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Displays of eight capital letters were presented in a circular arrangement around a central fixation point at tachistoscopic durations. Under different experimental conditions, one or two indicators, presented either 250 msec before, simultaneously with, or after the display, designated the letters that S was to report. The arrangement of conditions permitted inferences as to the order in which S encoded the letters from the display. The results supported an interpretation in terms of a serial process by which the letters were encoded or transferred from iconic representation to a short-term memory.

On Parallel versus Serial Processing: A Computational Study of Visual Search
A novel neural network model of pre-attention processing in visualsearch tasks is presented. Using displays of line orientations taken from Wolfe's experiments [1992], we study the hypothesis that the distinction between parallel versus serial processes arises from the availability of global information in the internal representations of the visual scene. The model operates in two phases. First...
متن کاملResponse terminated displays unload selective attention
Perceptual load theory successfully replaced the early vs. late selection debate by appealing to adaptive control over the efficiency of selective attention. Early selection is observed unless perceptual load (p-Load) is sufficiently low to grant attentional "spill-over" to task-irrelevant stimuli. Many studies exploring load theory have used limited display durations that perhaps impose artifi...

Objective: Cognitive deficits play an important role in differential diagnostics, prognosis and rehabilitation of people with psychological disorders. Attention problems have profound impact on the therapeutic response, risk of relapse, function and quality of life in people with major depressive disorder and schizophrenia. This study compared selective attention of people with schizophrenia, M...
متن کاملSelective attention and cyclopean motion processing
The effect of diverted selective attention on the induction of the cyclopean motion aftereffect (aftereffect induced from dynamic disparity information) was investigated. The luminance motion aftereffect was examined for comparison. During diverted-attention trials, observers ignored background adapting motion and performed a low-load or high-load rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task pr...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a High Speed Systolic Serial Multiplier and Squarer for Long Unsigned Integer Using VHDL
A systolic serial multiplier for unsigned numbers is presented which operates without zero words inserted between successive data words, outputs the full product and has only one clock cycle latency. 
The multiplier is based on a modified serial/parallel scheme with two adjacent multiplier cells. Systolic concept is a well-known means of intensive computational task through replication of fu...
