Cognitive Set and Oculomotor Control

Cognitive Set and Oculomotor Control

condition, subsequently called einstellung or set, describes a state of motor readiness, a cognitive process that influences behavior. Around the turn of the century, describing the motivational state of an organism quite independent of the investigations of set. Thorndike ap-One of the goals of a cognitive neuroscientific approach preciated that the readiness of an organism for a particu-to st...

Cognitive control and counterproductive oculomotor capture by reward-related stimuli

Two experiments investigated the extent to which value-modulated oculomotor capture is subject to top-down control. In these experiments, participants were never required to look at the reward-related stimuli; indeed, doing so was directly counterproductive because it caused omission of the reward that would otherwise have been obtained. In Experiment 1, participants were explicitly informed of...

Regularization in oculomotor control

In modelling the development of the oculomotor control system using neural networks, it is important to determine the appropriate cost function on which to train the models. Whilst blur and disparity are fairly obvious error components, choosing the regularization component is less easy. In this paper we explore the consequences of a number of the most reasonable possibilities and investigate t...

Oculomotor control system

cells. The high content of white blood cell phospholipase provides the inflammatory site with a likely source of PGEi. In short, several sources of prostaglandins exist. The role of endogenous prostaglandins will be more precisely defined by the exclusion of them (suppression of synthesis) within a specific model of inflammation and at specific stages of its evolution. A well defined approach i...
