In both cases, after detecting a target or confirming that both peripheral items were distractors, attention would have returned to the tracking task.
According to this theory, within a dual tracking/target detection paradigm, the central tracking task may consume visual processing resources, limiting the attentional resources necessary for processing peripheral items.
Resilience would have been similar across the single- and dual-task blocks, because, in both cases, attention would have been disengaged from the central task while peripheral items were being processed.
Our centrally presented items were well above perceptual threshold, but because sensitivity decreases with eccentricity, some peripheral items might not have been, and the probability of that should have been largest for the items defined in second-order motion.
Because, in absolute numbers, there were more peripheral items in our large numerosities than in our small ones, the visual system's inferior sensitivity to second-order motion might have caused the interaction that we observed between motion order and numerosity.
The respondents who were classified as problem gamers using the GAS 7 approach, but as no-problem gamers using the CORE 4 approach endorsed all three peripheral items, but no more than one of the core criteria.
The works that matter most must get your attention first; peripheral items can be worked through should there be sufficient time left.
The GQL-15 [ 4] consists of 15 vision-related items, which primarily cover four aspects: central and near vision (two items), peripheral vision (six items), glare and dark adaptation (six items), and outdoor mobility (one item).
In the two-dimensional structure, items 1 3 of the GAS were determined to load on one factor, named "peripheral criteria," and items 4 7 were determined to load on the other factor, named "core criteria" (see Table 1).
Several items were pooled to create combined variables, including a general circulatory disease deficit that contained congestive heart failure, irregularly irregular pulse and peripheral vascular disease items.
