Critics felt the show was testing the attention span of its audience and felt that it was mistimed in the wake of the launch of the successful crime drama The Shield on FX.
The experiments reported here tested the attention mechanism hypothesis by eliminating this confound.
Fourteen university students that were diagnosed as suffering from developmental dyscalculia--intelligence and reading abilities in the normal range and no indication of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder--and 14 matched controls were tested using the attention networks test - interactions.
It is worth noting that during the subjective test, the evaluators' attention is also predominantly selective to the video content being watched.
The observed means in Table 3 indicate that ESA increased in the intervention group from baseline to 6 week post-test, where as it remained the same from baseline to 6 week post-test in the attention comparison group.
We next tested whether the attention modulation term and the surround modulation term for the additive non-normalization model were correlated.
I here define two such scores and accompanying significance tests, measuring the attention given to the focal taxon or its placement in a cladogram.
Experiment 2 provided a test of the attention-capturing ability of large objects with Burnham's [3] criteria in mind.
