چکیده

Holistic, (global) processing refers to the integration of local stimulus features into a larger perceptual form with an interpretation independent of its parts. While global precedence is the norm for adults, infants’ perception depends greatly upon individual differences. Using a novel auditory AX-CPT (AX Continuous Performance Task) this study examined congruence between auditory and visual holistic processing in 6 month-olds as measured by saccade latency and look duration. The task was designed so that holistic processing impaired performance. Results confirmed congruence between modalities with impaired performance of visual holisticprocessors on trials which punished auditory holistic processing, despite previous findings of increased recognition memory in these infants. Current findings are explored in the context of a proposed inhibitory mechanism accounting for individual differences. Finally, computational models are explored, supportive of a first-order stochastic differential equation for changes in looking behavior across trials, similar to the Rescorla-Wagner model.

Selective Attention and Sensory Modality in Aging: Curses and Blessings

The notion that selective attention is compromised in older adults as a result of impaired inhibitory control is well established. Yet it is primarily based on empirical findings covering the visual modality. Auditory and especially, cross-modal selective attention are remarkably underexposed in the literature on aging. In the past 5 years, we have attempted to fill these voids by investigating...

BAYES, BRAINS & BABIES: Electrophysiology and Mathematics of Infant Holistic Processing and Selective Inhibition

However, we contend that these differences actually stem from dopaminergic (DA) systems such as in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and striatum as opposed to basic perceptual intake. A major role of DA in dlPFC is the integration of working memory (WM) and inhibition [9]. While long looking infants demonstrate lower recognition memory [10], this study will be the first to test selective ...

The Effects of Emotional Content on Phonological Processing in Children Who Stutter

Objectives: Stuttering and phonological processing are mutually related. Emotion is an effective factor in fluency and language processing; however, its underlying neural mechanism remains unclear. Event-Related Potential (ERP) is a non-invasive highly-beneficial method with high time resolution for language processing. The present study aimed to explore phonological processing in emotional wor...
