Attention Capture in Visual Search: The Effects of Individual Visual Working Memory Capacity and Gaming Experience

Creator:: Hauck, Christopher
Abstract:: Prior research has demonstrated that unique and salient objects in a visual display may capture an individual’s attention. However, researchers have shown that some individuals, such as those with video game experience, are better at resisting salient-driven capture compared to others (Chisholm et al., 2010). The first manuscript presented in...

Visual Hindsight Bias and Emotion Perception

Creator:: Burgess, Emily
Abstract:: Visual hindsight bias, also known as the “saw-it-all-along” effect, is the tendency to overestimate one’s perceptual abilities with the aid of outcome knowledge. The present study investigated visual hindsight bias for facial stimuli. Experiment 1 adopted the visual hindsight bias paradigm from Harley et al. (2004) and replicated their findings...

Beyond the attentional blink : An electrophysiological study of processing facial emotional expression

Creator:: Stewart, Alicia V.
Abstract:: Behavioral studies have observed facial recognition bypass attentional limitations when performed with non-facial recognition tasks (e.g., a digit task). Awh et al. (2004) proposed this was due to multi-channel processing, where non-facial objects utilize a feature-based channel leaving the configural-based channel available for facial processing. We tested this hypothesis using...

An Investigation of Age-Related Differences in Value-Driven Attentional Capture

Creator:: Naylor, Jamie
Abstract:: Previous research on age-related differences in attentional capture has indicated that older adults are more susceptible to distraction than younger adults and this has been interpreted as a reduced capacity to inhibit distraction in late life. Recently, however, there have been discrepancies in the literature about in what circumstances older...

Attentional Bias Toward Facial Emotion Expression : Orienting vs. Disengagement

Creator:: Martin, Nicole R.
Abstract:: The present study examined involuntary attentional bias toward facial emotion expression. Particularly, the study examined two different attentional components for emotional processing, namely, orienting vs. disengagement. A cueing paradigm using two cue presentation times (250ms and 350ms) was used to determine if attention would be involuntarily captured by an irrelevant...

An Electrophysiological Study of Attention Capture: Does Rarity Enable Capture?

Creator:: Noesen, Birken
Abstract:: Several behavioral studies have suggested that rarity is critical for enabling irrelevant, salient objects to capture attention. We tested this hypothesis using the event-related potential (ERP) component, N2pc, thought to reflect attentional allocation. A cue display was followed by a target display in which participants identified the letter in a...

The Effect of Emotional Valence on Memory for Face Identity

Creator:: Herdener, Nathan
Abstract:: Previous studies using an incidental learning paradigm have found that facial emotion enhances subsequent face recognition. The present study examined whether emotion enhances only memory for the specific emotional features, or whether it also enhances general memory of that person's identity. Prior to the study, we had 20 participants validate...

An Electrophysiological Study of Involuntary Attention Capture in a Go/No-go Paradigm

Creator:: Herdener, Nathan D.
Abstract:: The present study examined whether attention capture is driven by object saliency or contingent on top-down control setting using a go/no-go paradigm. Specifically, we investigated whether salient color singletons capture attention only when the target itself is also a singleton. We used a go/no-go task. Participants were told to search...

An electrophysiological study of emotional perception in a dual-task paradigm

Creator:: Shaw, Kathleen Elizabeth
Abstract:: The present study examined whether emotion perception requires central attentional resources. A dual-task paradigm was used to examine whether people can direct their attention to a face expressing a target emotion, even while they are still selecting a response to another task. Task-1 required an auditory discrimination while for Task-2,...

The Effects of Endogenous and Exogenous Cues on Task-Set Inhibition

Creator:: Kuhns, David (David Paul)
Abstract:: Task-set inhibition has been proposed to be an important mechanism for cognitive control in task switching. Its existence is supported largely by the observation of the N-2 repetition cost (e.g., A-B-A is slower than C-B-A). Many studies have reported an N-2 repetition cost, but several have not. Because of the...
