Sentence examples for attentional impact from inspiring English sources

We demonstrate that context effects on familiarity are diminished if the attentional impact of contextual stimuli is experimentally controlled, arguing that contextual influences on object familiarity are indirect and mediated by factors such as salience and attentional capture.

As researchers seek to refine and enhance current ABM tasks and develop innovative new approaches, we can expect to see progressive improvement in their attentional impact.

Such an attentional modulation of suppressive versus integrative effects of receptive field surrounds has recently been found in area V1 and is so far the only direct evidence for an attentional impact on non-cRF regions (Roberts et al. 2007; see also Ito and Gilbert 1999, for an indirect measure of attentional effects on surround facilitation in V1).

This asymmetry in kicking builds on a body of research showing that attentional asymmetries impact everyday activities.

In MS patients, cognitive performance is globally affected and impacts divided attention, focused attention, sustained attention, attentional flexibility, and response speed [ 8, 9].

These results thus support the idea that spatial attention is necessary in mapping and orienting magnitude information in an internal number line [32], thus the lacking attentional resources will impact the accessing and operating with numerical information to some extent.

The overall pattern of findings suggests that divided attention can impact later memory in different ways, and accordingly, that different attentional resources, including task-generic and task-specific resources, make distinct contributions to successful episodic encoding.

Many clinical studies have found that pain impacts attentional processes [ 2], and the brain regions where attention is modulated by pain have been identified by functional magnetic resonance imaging [ 3]; the ACC and thalamus are known to play key roles in both pain perception and attentional tasks, and pain and attention can both activate the same specific brain areas [ 4].

Here we examine how aging impacts attentional updating and monitoring processes in monkeys using an interference task designed after a paradigm used to examine multi-tasking in older humans.

For example, in a study examining how target-nontarget similarity impacted attentional capture by an irrelevant bright feature, Proulx and Egeth [15] found that as salience (in terms of orientation contrast) became less useful for detecting the target, the participants relied less on salience for the task overall.

This is a surprising outcome for theories [ 17 19] proposing that cholinergic neuromodulation impacts attentional selection by modulating gamma synchrony in particular.
