Sentence examples for reorienting attention from inspiring English sources

These findings may reflect the more general role of parietal cortex in orienting attention [19 21], which is initiated by viewing averted gaze [22 24], and more specifically the role of the right inferior parietal cortex (as a component of the ventral frontoparietal attentional network) in reorienting attention toward behaviorally relevant events [25].

These findings are discussed in the context of reference frames used in reorienting attention for target detection.

The putative basis for these phenomena are neural computations related to updating and reorienting attention due to violations of expectations and the detection of change.

Area ST on the posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus matches a functional region active for reorienting attention to unattended visual targets (STG, 57,−45,12 vector distance = 7.2 mm; Corbetta, 2000; 2002), and for detecting salient sensory multimodal changes (54,−42,13 vector distance = 4.7 mm; Downar et al., 2000).

For example, the rTPJ plays a well-documented role in reorienting attention, a domain-general ability (Corbetta and Shulman 2002).

A debate is also ongoing regarding whether the control of, or switching between, self and other representations is a specialized or domain-general process: the rTPJ's well-established role in reorienting attention supports a domain-general process, but a role specific to social cognition has also been proposed.

If activity in these regions reflected efforts to refocus on the task being performed, the opposite pattern of activity should have been observed, as awareness would presumably favor the recruitment of cognitive processes to reorient attention on task.

This second task was originally chosen for its ability to activate a network of areas which are preferentially engaged when unexpected events occur and/or subjects are required to reorient attention [for a review see 32].

Two attention networks have been proposed on the basis of findings from brain imaging studies; a dorsal one that is involved in purposeful attention (top-down) and a ventral one that reorients attention in response to salient stimuli [10] that might lead to distractions when performing a task [11].

Another interpretation of our findings would be that the increased midline DMN activity, and especially MPFC activity [9], [73], related to mind-wandering in comparison to task-related interferences and external distractions reflects an increased effort to reorient attention toward the SART.

In the high-reward condition, participants were quicker to reorient attention away from the initially cued location, since they were faster for targets in the invalidly cued condition, relative to the validly cued condition (the well-known IOR effect).
