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...

An Electrophysiological Study of Object-Based Correspondence Effects: Is Visual Processing Modulated by the Intended Action?

Creator:: Jardin, Elliott, Lien, Mei-Ching, and Proctor, Robert W.
Abstract:: Some studies have found that responses are faster when the orientation of an object’s graspable part corresponds with the response location than when it does not (i.e., the object-based correspondence effect). We examined Goslin et al.’s (2012) claim that the effect is the result of object-based attention (visual-action binding). As...

On the Control of Spatial Attention: Is There an Attentional Bias Toward Threatening Objects?

Creator:: Taylor, Robinson and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Stimuli signaling threat are often processed especially rapidly (e.g., Fox, Russo, & Dutton, 2002). Similarly, some studies have suggested that expressions of fear have a strong pull on our attention because they signal threat (e.g., Phelps, Ling, & Carrasco, 2006; Shaw, Lien, Ruthruff, & Allen, in press; Vuilleumier & Schwartz,...

Creator:: Hwee, Jennifer, Burros, Alison, MacKay, Kallie, and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: Previous studies have suggested that negatively valenced faces (e.g., angry faces) automatically capture attention away from faces with other emotional valences (e.g., happy faces and neutral faces). The present study evaluated two experiments with age-related differences: the first assessed recognition memory for pictures of faces and how it is modulated...

Task-Specific and General Cognitive Effects in Chiari Malformation Type I

Creator:: Allen, Philip A., Houston, James R., Pollock, Joshua W., Buzzelli, Christopher, Li, Xuan, Harrington, A. Katherine, Martin, Bryn A., Loth, Francis, Lien, Mei-Ching, Maleki, Jahangir, and Luciano, Mark G.
Abstract:: Objective Our objective was to use episodic memory and executive function tests to determine whether or not Chiari Malformation Type I (CM) patients experience cognitive dysfunction. Background CM is a neurological syndrome in which the cerebellum descends into the cervical spine causing neural compression, severe headaches, neck pain, and number...

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...

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...

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...

Electrophysiological Evidence of Different Loci for Case Mixing and Word Frequency Effects in Visual Word Recognition

Creator:: Lien, Mei-Ching, Allen, Philip A., and Crawford, Caitlin
Abstract:: Do word frequency and case mixing affect different processing stages in visual word recognition? Some studies of on line reading suggests that word frequency affects an earlier perceptual, encoding stage and case mixing affects a later central, decision stage (e.g., Reingold, Yang, & Rayner, 2010). Others have suggested otherwise (e.g.,...
