Attention Capture While Switching Search Strategies: Evidence for a Breakdown in Top-Down Attentional Control

Creator:: Lien, Mei-Ching, Ruthruff, Eric, and Naylor, Jamie
Abstract:: Whereas capture experiments typically repeat a single task many times, real world cognition is characterized by frequent switching. Lien, Ruthruff, and Johnston (2010) reported that the attentional control system can rapidly and fully switch between different search settings (e.g., red to green), with no carryover and no inter-trial priming. The...

Processing Visual Words With Numbers: Electrophysiological Evidence for Semantic Activation

Creator:: Lien, Mei-Ching, Allen, Philip A., and Martin, Nicole
Abstract:: Perea, Duñabeitia, and Carreiras (2008) found that LEET stimuli, formed by a mixture of digits and letters (e.g., “T4BL3” instead of “TABLE”), produced similar priming effects as regular words. This finding led them to conclude that LEET stimuli automatically activate lexical information. The present study examined whether semantic activation occurs...

Further Evidence that Object-Based Correspondence Effects are Primarily Modulated by Object Location not Grasping Affordance

Creator:: Lien, Mei-Ching, Gray, Daniel, Jardin, Elliott, and Proctor, Robert W.
Abstract:: Tipper, Paul, and Hayes (2006) found object-based correspondence effects for door-handle stimuli for shape judgments but not color. They reasoned that a grasping affordance is activated when judging dimensions related to a grasping action (shape), but not for other dimensions (color). Cho and Proctor (2011, 2013), however, found the effect...

Alexithymia in Men: How and When Do Emotional Processing Deficiencies Occur?

Creator:: Levant, Ronald F., Allen, Philip A., and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: The present study extended existing research on alexithymia in men, investigating whether the deficit in processing emotions occurs early in the process, as a result of dissociation or repression, or later, as a result of suppression. We also examined the assumption in Levant’s (2011) normative male alexithymia hypothesis that men...

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

Creator:: Noesen, Birken, Lien, Mei-Ching, and Ruthruff, Eric
Abstract:: Several behavioral studies have suggested that rarity is critical for enabling irrelevant, salient objects to capture attention. We tested this hypothesis using the N2pc, thought to reflect attentional allocation. A cue display was followed by a target display in which participants identified the letter in a specific color. Experiment 1...

Multi-Tasking and Aging: Do Older Adults Benefit from Performing a Highly Practiced Task?

Creator:: Allen, Philip A., Lien, Mei-Ching, Ruthruff, Eric, and Voss, Andreas
Abstract:: The present study examined the effect of training on age differences in performing a highly practiced task using the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm (Pashler, 1984). Earlier training studies have concentrated on tasks that are not already overlearned. The present question of interest is whether task dual-task integration will be...

Learning to attend: the influence of gain vs. loss on attention capture for younger and older adults

Creator:: Araujo, Derek S., Naylor, Jamie S., and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Previous studies have shown that both younger and older adults exhibit similar brain activity while anticipating monetary gain but older adults exhibit less brain activity comparing to younger adults while anticipating monetary loss. In Anderson et al.’s (2011) study, they found that visual search was slower with a salient, task-irrelevant...

Stimulus-response correspondence effect: Is our action altered by the presence of salient objects?

Creator:: Pedersen, Logan and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Our responses are faster when the response key location is compatible with target location than when it is incompatible, even when target location was irrelevant to the task (the Simon effect). This effect is observed even when two people shared the task (e.g., one pressing the left key and the...

An Electrophysiological Study of the Object-Based Correspondence Effect: Is the Effect Triggered by an Intended Grasping Action?

Creator:: Lien, Mei-Ching, Jardin, Elliott, and Proctor, Robert W.
Abstract:: We examined Goslin et al.’s (2012) claim that the object based-correspondence effect (faster keypress responses when the orientation of an object’s graspable part corresponds with the response location than when it does not) is the result of object-based attention (visual-action binding). In Experiment 1, participants determined the category of a...

Capture by Fear Revisited: An Electrophysiological Investigation

Creator:: Lien, Mei-Ching, Taylor, Robinson, and Ruthruff, Eric
Abstract:: The present study, using a cuing paradigm, reexamined the claim of an attentional bias toward fearful faces. In Experiment 1, participants searched a target display for a letter in a specific color. This target display was preceded by a non-informative cue display, which contained colored boxes (one in the target...
