Reduced processing resource availability in schizotypal personality disorder: evidence from a dual-task CPT study.

Performance on a dual-task information processing task was investigated in 23 schizotypal personality disorder patients (SPD), 29 patients with other noncluster A personality disorders (OPD) and 8 non-psychiatric healthy controls (NC). All participants ...

Variable foreperiods and temporal discrimination.

Temporal judgements are often accounted for by a single-clock hypothesis. The output of such a clock is reported to depend on the allocation of attention. In the present series of experiments, the influence of attention on temporal information processing ...

Visual attention while driving: sequences of eye fixations made by experienced and novice drivers.

Eye fixations were recorded while novice and experienced drivers drove along three types of roads (rural, suburban and dual-carriageway). An analysis of the content of those fixations was performed in order to identify differences in the scanpaths that ...

Anatomic dissociation of selective and suppressive processes in visual attention.

Visual spatial attention is associated with activation in parietal regions as well as with modulation of visual activity in ventral occipital cortex. Within the parietal lobe, localisation of activity has been hampered by variation in individual anatomy. ...

N100m in children possessing absolute pitch.

We recorded the auditory evoked magnetic fields from children with and without absolute pitch under the following conditions: (a) hearing 1000 Hz pure tones inattentively, (b) hearing eight random tones inattentively and (c) listening to eight random ...

Representation of change: separate electrophysiological markers of attention, awareness, and implicit processing.

Awareness of change within a visual scene only occurs in the presence of focused attention. When two versions of a complex scene are presented in alternating sequence separated by a blank mask, unattended changes usually remain undetected, although they ...

Perceiving an object and its context in different cultures: a cultural look at new look.

In two studies, a newly devised test (framed-line test) was used to examine the hypothesis that individuals engaging in Asian cultures are more capable of incorporating contextual information and those engaging in North American cultures are more capable ...

Dual target identification and the attentional blink in Parkinsons disease.

In healthy adults, deficits in identifying a second target following a previously attended target in Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) occur between intertarget intervals of approximately 100-500 ms. This Attentional Blink (AB) is investigated in ...

Does articulation contribute to modifications of postural control during dual-task paradigms?

Many studies have been carried out to investigate the attentional resources required for postural control, using a dual-task methodology in which performance on mental and postural control tasks is compared when these are carried out separately and ...

Flunitrazepam-induced changes in neurophysiological, behavioural, and subjective measures used to assess sedation.

INTRODUCTION: Certain features of event-related potentials (ERPs), electroencephalographic (EEG), and behavioural measures vary with differing states of alertness and/or sedation. PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate changes in several ...
