This chapter focuses on the effect of covert spatial attention on contrast sensitivity, a basic
visual dimension where the best mechanistic understanding of attention has been achieved …

Although in traditional attention research the focus of visual spatial attention has been
considered as indivisible, many studies in the last 15 years have claimed the contrary …

This book is a succinct introduction to the orienting of attention. Richard Wright and
Lawrence Ward describe the covert orienting literature clearly and concisely, illustrating it …

Event-based prospective memory (PM) requires remembering to perform intended deferred
actions when particular stimuli or events are encountered in the future. We propose a …

Enhanced perception of detail has long been regarded a hallmark of autism spectrum
conditions (ASC), but its origins are unknown. Normal sensitivity on all fundamental …

We investigated the psychophysical and neurophysiological differences between fast-action
video game players (specifically first person shooter players, FPS) and non-action players …

Human performance in complex multiple-task environments depends critically on the
interplay between cognitive control and cognitive capacity. In this paper we propose a …

Performing deferred actions in the future relies upon Prospective Memory (PM). Often, PM
demands arise in complex dynamic tasks. Not only can PM be challenging in such …
