Looking Inward: the Mind's Eye Focuses on Mental Representations
by other cognitive factors such as momentary attention. Nobre et al. (2008), building on their and others’ earlier work, have conducted a very interesting study that does just this; they have investigated, using behavioral and physiological measures, the effects of attention on representations held in one form of mental store – visual short term memory (VSTM). VSTM is a short-term (a few second...
متن کاملThe mind's eye, looking inward? In search of executive control in internal attention shifting.
In studies of mental counting, participants are faster to increment a count that was just incremented (no-switch trial) than to increment a different count (switch trial). Investigators have attributed the effect to a shift in the internal focus of attention on switch trials. Here we report evidence for other bottom-up and top-down contributions. Two stimuli were mapped to each of two counts. T...

In architectonics of a lyrical prose text, sense perception reveals itself in accumulated underlying meanings and wisdom conveyed by expressive means. The author’s inte...
متن کاملLooking inward: shifting attention within working memory representations alters emotional responses.
Selective attention plays a fundamental role in emotion regulation. To date, research has examined individuals' use of selective attention to regulate emotional responses during stimulus presentation. In the present study, we examined whether selective attention can be used to regulate emotional responses during a poststimulus period when representations are active within working memory (WM). O...
متن کاملTalking while looking: on the encapsulation of output system representations.
The idea that the human mind can be divided into distinct (but interacting) functional modules is an important presupposition in many theories of cognition. While previous research on modularity predominantly studied input domains (e.g., vision) or central processes, the present study focused on cognitive representations of output domains. Specifically, we asked to what extent output domain rep...
