Electrophysiological Evidence for the Failure of Salient Stimuli to Capture Attention, Even When Presented Rarely

Creator:

Lien, Mei-Ching, Noesen, Birken, and Ruthruff, Eric

Abstract:

Some studies suggest that attention can be captured by irrelevant, salient objects when they appear rarely. We addressed this issue using the N2pc effect, a lateralized, negative voltage spike in the brain potentials in parietal cortex, thought to reflect attentional allocation. A cue display was followed by a target display...

An Electrophysiological Dual-Task Study of Visual Word Processing without Task Switching

Creator:

Khoja, Nadia, Lien, Mei-Ching, and Ruthruff, Eric

Abstract:

A previous dual-task study (Lien, Ruthruff, Cornett, Goodin, & Allen, 2008) provided evidence that people have difficulty identifying words while central attention is devoted to another non-word task. In that study, participants performed an auditory Task 1 regarding tone pitch and a visual word Task 2. However, it’s possible that...
