A study of Mozart effect in Attentional blink
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigated the existence of the temporal component of Mozart effect, analyzed the influence of arousal or mood changing to attentional blink when listening to Mozart Sonata (K.448 D Major). We manipulated the tempo and the mode of Mozart Sonata to check if these two factors of music could affect participant’s temporal attention in two experiments. According to the experiment results, the temporal component of Mozart effect does not general exist. Mozart Sonata might possibly induce listener’s arousal or mood shifting, but could not induce any temporal attention improvement significantly.

The role of the magnocellular and parvocellular pathways in the attentional blink.
The attentional blink refers to the transient impairment in perceiving the 2nd of two targets presented in close temporal proximity in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) stream. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect on human attentional-blink performance of disrupting the function of the magnocellular pathway--a major visual-processing pathway specialized in temporal segreg...
متن کاملBlink and shrink: the effect of the attentional blink on spatial processing.
The detection or discrimination of the second of 2 targets in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task is often temporarily impaired-a phenomenon termed the attentional blink. This study demonstrated that the attentional blink also affects localization performance. Spatial cues pointed out the possible target positions in a subsequent visual search display. When cues were presented inside...
متن کاملModulation of the attentional blink by differential resource allocation.
When one masked target (T2) follows another (T1) in close temporal proximity, identification accuracy of the second target is reduced for a period referred to as the attentional blink. Analysis of the attentional blink literature suggests that increasing the difficulty of T1 processing increases the magnitude of the blink. In a previous study that eliminated several untoward features of the typ...

The attentional blink (AB) paradigm was used to assess the effect of emotional stimuli (angry, neutral) and location (fovea, periphery) on early visual attention in neurotypicals. The attentional blink is a lapse in perceptual awareness during the rapid presentation of stimuli within a 200-400ms time lag between the two targets. Certain aspects limit the AB effect, as they do a better job of ca...

Researchers have used various paradigms to show that attentional biases for substance-related stimuli are an important feature of addictive behaviours. However, it is not clear whether these attentional biases occur at the level of encoding or at later post-attentive processing stages. We examined attentional bias at the level of encoding with the attentional blink paradigm in a sample of non-c...
