Visuospatial selective attention in chickens

Visuospatial selective attention in chickens.

Voluntary control of attention promotes intelligent, adaptive behaviors by enabling the selective processing of information that is most relevant for making decisions. Despite extensive research on attention in primates, the capacity for selective attention in nonprimate species has never been quantified. Here we demonstrate selective attention in chickens by applying protocols that have been u...

Visuospatial attention in myopia.

Four experiments were conducted to ascertain whether myopia is associated with deficits of visuospatial attention. In myopic and emmetropic control subjects, we studied: (1) automatic and voluntary orienting of attention, (2) focusing of attention and (3) performance on a visual search task. The results indicated that automatic orienting was defective in myopics and their performance in visual ...

Visuospatial attention in children.

Attention is the process by which we select stimuli in our environment for perception and action. The ability to orient to salient visual stimuli and to parse the visual world begins to emerge in the first few months of life and continues to evolve through childhood. This review addresses how visuospatial attention develops, is deployed, and can be damaged in children. In particular, we discuss...

Title: Alertness and Visuospatial Attention in Clinical Depression Title: Alertness and Visuospatial Attention in Clinical Depression

1) I am not sure if the trendlevel result for the influence of sad mood on one of the three visuospatial tests is justification enough for the conclusion: “...alertness and – to a lesser extend – sad mood led to left omissions in visuospatial neglect tests”. The manuscript has been changed accordingly (p.2, ll.10-12). Background: 2) In the literature, the term “unilateral neglect” seems to be c...
