   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Morgan Frost; [2018]
   Keywords : Autism Spectrum Disorder; ESSENCE; pupillometry; eye tracking; social processing; orienting; gaze aversion;

   Abstract : Typically developing humans innately place subjective value on social information and orient attention to it. This can be shown through eye tracking and pupillometry, a method used to show attentional engagement. READ MORE

3. 2. Emotional attention : A cognitive neuroscience perspective

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Veronica Carlsson; [2018]
   Keywords : emotional attention; orienting attention; visual attention; emotions;

   Abstract : Attention is a cognitive mechanism that guides our perception in order to prioritize the limited resources to the most relevant information while ignoring distracting information. Attention can be voluntarily deployed to stimuli during tasks or goals, or the features of the stimulus can capture our attention either by being salient or being emotionally induced. READ MORE

4. 3. When the Siren Sounds : In Search of Acoustic Properties that make an Alarm Signal Effective at Capturing Attention

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Miljöpsykologi

   Author : Tomas Hansson; [2018]
   Keywords : Alarm sirens; Steady-state; Changing-state; Temporal deviant; Orienting response;

   Abstract : A functional and effective alarm signal is a critical component of alarm systems designed to alert workers of impending danger. In a previous study (Hansson, 2017) background alarm sirens composed of changing-state sounds with an embedded temporal deviant, produced greater disruption of serial short-term memory than a signal without a deviant.

5. 4. Visual Attentional Capture Resists Modulation in Singleton Search under Verbal Working Memory Load

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Martin Johansson; [2016]
   Keywords : singleton search; visual attention; attentional orienting; selective attention; attentional capture; top - down; bottom - up; verbal working memory; AVGP; trait anxiety;

   Abstract : Visual attentional capture is a form of visual attentional selection that is automatic and involuntary in nature, and is of high adaptive value as it allows visual attention to be oriented in a reflexive manner towards visual information without necessarily being guided by pre-existing knowledge, goals, and plans. According to the load-hypothesis (Lavie & De Fockert, 2005), attentional capture of salient stimuli increases under load on working memory due to disruption of stimulus-processing priorities.
