Sentence examples for Selective attention mechanisms from inspiring English sources

Selective attention mechanisms allow us to focus on information that is relevant to the current behavior and, equally important, ignore irrelevant information.

We tested our priori hypothesis about the specific effect of having obesity on bottom-up and top-down selective attention mechanisms, using independent t-tests to assess whether group affected the ability to disengage attention and for attention to be captured by food in the context of bottom-up and top-down tasks.

In Experiment 4, we manipulated the saliency of the target T to elicit singleton search behavior to evaluate whether performance costs are exclusive to selective attention mechanisms or exist for preattentative processes as well.

These data indicate that interference associated with visual HUD-based distraction is broad, affecting not only selective attention mechanisms but also processes associated with the perceptual extraction of visual features.

Experiment 4 indicated that the costs of secondary HUD-based information are not only incurred to selective attention mechanisms, but are in fact present at early processing stages thought to be associated with preattentive mechanisms.

Our goal in Experiment 4 was to evaluate whether the costs associated with irrelevant information presented on the GG are exclusive to tasks in which selective attention mechanisms are required.

In order to explore the selective attention mechanism and the dual-task information-processing model, two experiments were carried out involving a visual search task and a visual detection task.

Meanwhile there is some agreement in the sense that there seem to exist two selective-attention mechanisms: one causes an enhancement of the N1 and the other generates the PN (Hansen & Hillyard, 1980; Näätänen et al., 2002).

According to the premotor theory of attention (Rizzolatti et al., 1994), the mechanisms responsible for the control of selective attention and the mechanisms underlying response selection and activation are implemented by common mechanisms.

It has been theorized that this function requires two essential integrated components, a central executive which guides selective attention based on mechanisms of associative memory, as well as the second component, working memory buffers, in which information is held online, abstracted, and translated on a mental sketchpad of work in progress.

These data suggest that the mechanisms underlying selective attention to color differ from the mechanisms responsible for the attentional selection of other non-spatial attributes, such as stimulus form.
