Concentration: The Neural Underpinnings of How Cognitive Load Shields Against Distraction
Whether cognitive load-and other aspects of task difficulty-increases or decreases distractibility is subject of much debate in contemporary psychology. One camp argues that cognitive load usurps executive resources, which otherwise could be used for attentional control, and therefore cognitive load increases distraction. The other camp argues that cognitive load demands high levels of concentr...
متن کاملHow Concentration Shields Against Distraction
In this article, we outline our view of how concentration shields against distraction. We argue that higher levels of concentration make people less susceptible to distraction for two reasons. One reason is that the undesired processing of the background environment is reduced. For example, when people play a difficult video game, as opposed to an easy game, they are less likely to notice what ...
متن کاملCognitive and neural underpinnings of syntactic complexity
Based on a review of the neuroimaging literature, I argue that the resources allocated for processing syntactically complex sentences (i.e., object-extracted relative clauses) are domain-general. Overlapping brain areas are activated by OR clauses and by effortful executive tasks such as storing information in verbal working memory, resolving conflict among competing representations, and switch...
متن کاملNeural underpinnings of walking under cognitive and sensory load: a Mobile Brain/Body Imaging approach
Neural underpinnings of walking under cognitive and sensory load: a Mobile Brain/Body Imaging approach By: Brenda R. Malcolm Advisor: Pierfilippo De Sanctis, Ph.D. Dual-task walking studies, in which individuals engage in an attentionally-demanding task while walking, have provided indirect evidence via behavioral and biomechanical measures, of the recruitment of higher-level cortical resources...
