Summary: The objective of this study is to test an aspect of the hypothesis claiming the inverted u-shaped function between activation and performance. Two assumptions are made: 1) There is a close relationship between variation in current activation and ...
Effects of an Attention Training on the Aphasic Symptomatology in Stroke PatientsAttention is a control-system of neuronal activity, which modulates neuroplasticity. Attempts to promote functional recovery after brain injury by improving attention have ...
Abstract. Cognitive dysfunction among individuals with depression is associated with reduced functional status, and cognitive improvement is often an important treatment goal. We compared changes in cognitive ...
Abstract. A growing body of research demonstrates an association between gait disorders, falls, and attentional capacities in older adults. The present work empirically analyzes differences in gait parameters in frail institutionalized older adults as a ...
Selective attention of alcohol addicts to alcohol related and current concern related stimulus words: no effects of exposure in the stroop paradigmAim: Models of alcohol dependence point to the
influence of automatic cognitive processes for the

The construct validity of selective attention in a computerized test battery for attentional performance in children (KITAP)Selective attention is highly relevant for the psychosocial development of children. The KITAP test results of N = 467 children (...
Zusammenfassung. Wird visuell-räumliche Reizinformation automatisch verarbeitet? Psychologische Experimente scheinen das zu belegen. Reize, die plötzlich am Rand des Blickfelds erscheinen, ziehen die Aufmerksamkeit unwillkürlich auf den Ort ihres ...
Zusammenfassung. Empirische Untersuchungsbefunde aus zwei Studien zur Entwicklung der Konzentrationsleistung bei 3- bis 8-Jährigen und zum Zusammenhang der Konzentrationsleistung mit den Phasen des vor-operatorischen versus konkret-operatorischen Denkens ...
Abstract The influence of selective attention on P50 gating - the decline of the amplitude of the P50 component of the auditory evoked potential (AEP) to the second of a pair of clicks - was examined. Three conditions were presented in counterbalanced ...
Abstract. Reactions to recently ignored stimuli are slowed down or more error prone when compared to reactions to control stimuli. This so-called negative priming effect has been traditionally investigated in the area of selective attention. More recent ...
Abstract. We investigated the performance on a selective attention task in two groups of 8- to 12-year-old healthy children being characterized as extraverted and introverted, respectively. During task performance EEG-activity was recorded to investigate ...
Abstract. We recorded event-related potentials in an illusory conjunction task, in which subjects were cued on each trial to search for a particular colored letter in a subsequently presented test array, consisting of three different letters in three ...
Event-related EEG modulations, which are phase-locked to perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes, are often studied by means of event-related potentials (ERPs), although event-related oscillatory responses in different EEG frequency bands allow a more ...
Abstract. How does the perceptual system process stimuli that signal aversive outcomes or dangers? Considering the functional links between perception, attention, and action regulation, we posit that when people can avoid the aversive consequences, ...
In the most frequently used paradigm for studying event‐based prospective memory (PM, Einstein & McDaniel, 1990), participants perform an ongoing task and are asked to perform an additional task when a particular stimulus (the PM cue) is presented. In ...
Abstract. Coloring only a single letter in the Stroop task can result in a reduction or elimination of Stroop interference. The present experiments were designed to test whether this modulation of Stroop interference occurs at all letter positions. ...
Searching a cluttered visual scene for a specific item of interest can take several seconds to perform if the target item is difficult to discriminate from surrounding items. Whether working memory processes are utilized to guide the path of attentional ...
The human mind is severely limited in processing concurrent information at a conscious level of awareness. These temporal restrictions are clearly reflected in the attentional blink (AB), a deficit in reporting the second of two targets when it occurs 200–...
