OBJECTIVE The Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHS-Symptoms and Normal Behavior (SWAN) Scale has been developed to support the dimensional assessment of ADHD symptoms by capturing variance on both poles of the ADHD continuum. The present study provides the first validation of the German version of SWAN (SWAN-DE). METHOD Based on a sample of N1 = 343 children from the general population and N2 = 6...

The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale version 11 is one of the scales mostly used to measure impulsivity and it does not have a validated version for Brazilian Portuguese. The objective of this study is to adapt and conduct the construct validation of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale version 11 for adolescents. METHOD The scal...

A region-based approach towards modelling of bottom-up visual attention is proposed with an objective to accelerate the internal processes of attention and make its output usable by the high-level vision procedures to facilitate intelligent decision making during pattern analysis and vision-based learning. A memory-based inhibition of return is introduced in order to handle the dynamic scenario...

Background: Outcome of motor practice is influenced by focus attention. Paying attention to the environment (external focus) has been reported be more effective than paying body movements (internal focus). On other hand, internal was for novice sports players, indicating that optimal differs among individuals. also imagery ability, where subjects with higher ability show better outcomes. Howeve...

In this paper, we describe the attention mechanisms in CHREST, a computational architecture of human visual expertise. CHREST organises information acquired by direct experience from the world in the form of chunks. These chunks are searched for, and verified, by a unique set of heuristics, comprising the attention mechanism. We explain how the attention mechanism combines bottom-up and top-dow...
