Feature-specific perceptual processing dissociates action from recognition.

Does visual processing differ for action and recognition? To address this question, the authors capitalized on research showing that color is preferred over binocular disparity in the ventral (recognition) stream, whereas disparity is preferred over ...

Anticipation skill in a real-world task: measurement, training, and transfer in tennis.

Anticipation skill in tennis was examined using realistic film simulations, movement-based response measures, and a portable eye movement recording system. Skilled players were faster than their less skilled counterparts in anticipating the direction of ...

Blinks of the mind: memory effects of attentional processes.

If 2 words are presented successively within 500 ms, subjects often miss the 2nd word. This attentional blink reflects a limited capacity to attend to incoming information. Memory effects were studied for words that fell within an attentional blink. ...

Motor and phosphene thresholds to transcranial magnetic stimuli: a reproducibility study.

OBJECTIVES: As repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is often applied on different days, it is of interest to know whether motor (MT) and phosphene (PT) thresholds are reproducible across time and whether the intensity determined on the ...

Top-down influence in early visual processing: a Bayesian perspective.

Traditional views of visual processing suggest that early visual neurons are static spatiotemporal filters that extract local features by feedforward computation. The extracted information is then fed forward through a chain of modules to successively ...

Visual search strategies in experienced and inexperienced gymnastic coaches.

The visual search strategies employed by gymnastic coaches with different levels of expertise were investigated. Expert (n=3) and novice coaches (n=3) watched 9 video sequences of 3 gymnastic techniques and were required to highlight errors in ...

Cognitive efficiency modes in old age: performance on sequential and coordinative verbal and visuospatial tasks.

In an experiment using a large set of verbal and spatial tasks requiring low or high degrees of executive control, 3 distinct age-related effects were found. The smallest effect (no slowing) was tied to lexical tasks with low executive involvement, the ...

Control over location-based response activation in the Simon task: behavioral and electrophysiological evidence.

In 4 Simon experiments the authors examined control over 2 routes of sensorimotor processing: response priming in the unconditional route and response selection via the conditional route. The Simon effect diminished as the frequency of noncorresponding ...

Bender Gestalt Recall as a measure of short-term visual memory in children and adolescents with psychotic and other severe disorders.

To investigate the short-term visual memory ability of children and adolescents with severe psychiatric disorders, 82 child and adolescent inpatients and day hospital patients in a state psychiatric hospital were administered the Bender Gestalt Test as ...

Changes in center-of-pressure dynamics during upright standing related to decreased balance control in young adults: fractional Brownian motion analysis.

We investigated the relationships between the ability to maintain balance in an upright stance and center-of-pressure (COP) dynamic properties in young adults. Included in this study were 10 healthy male subjects in each of two groups with respect to ...
