Three experiments provide evidence that 2 mechanisms, 1 automatic and 1 controlled,
produce variations in the efficiency with which local and global forms are processed. Targets …

Humans show a global advantage when processing hierarchical visual patterns, and they
detect the global level of stimulus structure more accurately and faster than the local level in …

Dogs enrolled in a previous study were assessed two years later for reliability of their
local/global preference in a discrimination test with the same hierarchical stimuli used in the …

Acute exposure to ethanol produces deficits in sustained attention in humans, but these
attentional deficits have not been modeled in animals. In this study, an operant task was …

Visuospatial processing in chronic alcoholism was investigated by asking subjects to make
similarity judgements of hierarchically constructed visual stimuli. Comparison figures were …

Target identification is faster when the target level (global or local) is the same as that on the
previous trial, presumably because attention is directed to the appropriate level. LC …

It has been suggested that shifts of attention between global and local forms might be based
on selection between, or differential activation of, low-and high-spatial-frequency channels …

The size and exposure duration of stimuli have been found to be relevant factors to the issue
of processing dominance. Nevertheless, the relation between these two factors and their …

An experiment tested the hypothesis that moderately intoxicated subjects can compensate
for the detrimental effects of alcohol. Subjects were assigned either to a Control group, a …

Acute alcohol challenge has been associated with a selective impairment of right
hemisphere function. A hallmark of visuospatial neglect syndrome is that patients with right …
