The influence of music on mental effort and driving performance.
The current research examined the influence of loud music on driving performance, and whether mental effort mediated this effect. Participants (N=69) drove in a driving simulator either with or without listening to music. In order to test whether music would have similar effects on driving performance in different situations, we manipulated the simulated traffic environment such that the drivin...

of the semantic features of the stimulus, a binary decision, and response selection. Name-Match RT is significantly longer than Physical-Match RT. Significant differences have also been found between subjects of high and low verbal ability, and RT in a modified version of the Posner paradigm has been found to significantly correlate (negatively) with intelligence.

متن کاملAttentional effort modulated by task difficulty
It has been assumed that stimulus discrimination in a visual task is performed with fixed attentive effort. Here we show that attention to the same pair of stimuli can be modulated by varying the task difficulty when a task requires the discrimination of only a small number of different stimuli. We used a matching-to-sample paradigm, where a test stimulus is presented after a sample stimulus. W...

متن کاملA Motivational Perspective on the Relation Between Mental Effort and Performance: Optimizing Learner Involvement in Instruction
Motivation can be identified as a dimension that determines learning success and causes the high dropout rate among online learners, especially in complex e-learning environments. It is argued that these learning environments represent a new challenge to cognitive load researchers to investigate the motivational effects of instructional conditions and help instructional designers to predict whi...
