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 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...

Measurement and meaning of archaeological diversity

Creator:: Betz, Virginia Marie
Abstract:: Archaeologists use diversity as one way of characterizing their assemblages. Diversity refers to both the number of artifact classes present (richness) and the proportional representation of classes (evenness). Numerical diversity indices measure one or both components. Archaeologists use assemblage diversity to infer behavior of prehistoric cultures. Archaeological inferences about behavior...
