Attention to action and awareness of other minds.

We have only limited awareness of the system by which we control our actions and this limited awareness does not seem to be concerned with the control of action. Awareness of choosing one action rather than another comes after the choice has been made, ...

Reorientation of attention in Huntington disease.

OBJECTIVES AND BACKGROUND: This experiment sought to quantify the extent to which patients with Huntington disease (HD) have difficulties in orienting attention, via a vibrotactile version of a Posner-type cost-benefit paradigm. METHOD: Participants were ...

What we see: inattention and the capture of attention by meaning.

Attention is necessary for the conscious perception of any object. Objects not attended to are not seen. What is it that captures attention when we are engaged in some attention-absorbing task? Earlier research has shown that there are only a very few ...

Event-related potential measures of the inhibition of information processing: I. Selective attention in the waking state.

This article reviews the effects of selective attention on event-related potentials (ERPs). Attention has little, if any, effect on short-latency exogenous ERPs. The longer-latency ERPs can be markedly affected by manipulation of the subjects level of ...

A multivariate classification study of attentional orienting in patients with right hemisphere lesions.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize patterns of orienting dysfunction that were typical to patients with lesions in the right hemisphere (RH). BACKGROUND: Brain lesions in the right hemisphere are commonly associated with dysfunction of visual orienting (e.g., ...

Attentional mechanisms of borderline personality disorder.

We consider whether disruption of a specific neural circuit related to self-regulation is an underlying biological deficit in borderline personality disorder (BPD). Because patients with BPD exhibit a poor ability to regulate negative affect, we ...

False predictions about the detectability of visual changes: the role of beliefs about attention, memory, and the continuity of attended objects in causing change blindness blindness.

Recently, a number of experiments have emphasized the degree to which subjects fail to detect large changes in visual scenes. This finding, referred to as "change blindness," is often considered surprising because many people have the intuition that such ...

Selective orienting of attention to masked threat faces in social anxiety.

The aims of the study were two-fold: to examine whether previous evidence of a pre-attentive bias for masked threat faces in anxious individuals could be replicated, and to assess the relationship between the predicted bias and measures of trait and ...

Backward associative strength determines source attributions given to false memories.

Source attributions for falsely remembered material were investigated in two experiments. A male and a female speaker each presented either an entire word list or half of the items from each of multiple Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) lists commonly used ...

Comparing supervised and unsupervised category learning.

Two unsupervised learning modes (incidental and intentional unsupervised learning) and their relation to supervised classification learning are examined. The approach allows for direct comparisons of unsupervised learning data with the Shepard, Hovland, ...
