Running head: Working memory and tactile selective attention The role of working memory in tactile selective attention
Load theory suggests that working memory controls the extent to which irrelevant distractors are processed (e.g. Lavie et al., 2004). However, so far this proposal has only been tested in vision. Here, we examine the extent to which tactile selective attention also depends on working memory. In Experiment 1, participants focused their attention on continuous target vibrations while attempting t...
متن کاملTemporal Integration and Attention: Contributions of Visible Persistence and Masking
The perception of moving objects and scenes illuminated by lightning are influenced by the inherent sluggishness of our visual system. This phenomenon, called visible persistence, has been considered a hard-wired aspect of human vision. As such, it has been assumed that its duration was independent of higher level goals. This assumption was tested in this thesis by experiments in which attentio...
متن کاملSelective spatial attention modulates bottom-up informational masking of speech
To hear out a conversation against other talkers listeners overcome energetic and informational masking. Largely attributed to top-down processes, information masking has also been demonstrated using unintelligible speech and amplitude-modulated maskers suggesting bottom-up processes. We examined the role of speech-like amplitude modulations in information masking using a spatial masking releas...
متن کاملThe role of working memory in tactile selective attention.
Load theory suggests that working memory controls the extent to which irrelevant distractors are processed (e.g., Lavie, Hirst, De Fockert, & Viding, 2004). However, so far this proposal has only been tested in vision. Here, we examine the extent to which tactile selective attention also depends on working memory. In Experiment 1, participants focused their attention on continuous target vibrat...
متن کاملAttention attenuates metacontrast masking.
The influence of attention on perceptual awareness was examined using metacontrast masking. Attention was manipulated with endogenous cues to assess the effects on the temporal and spatial parameters of target visibility. Experiment 1 examined the time course of effective masking when the target and mask set were presented at an attended vs. an unattended location. The valid allocation of atten...
