Orienting of Attention Bartlett viewed thinking as a high level skill exhibiting ballistic properties that he called its “point of no return”. This paper explores one aspect of cognition through the use of a simple model task in which human subjects are asked to commit attention to a position in visual space other than fixation. This instruction is executed by orienting a covert (attentional) mechanism that see... ... hiện toàn bộ

The Selective Impairment of Semantic Memory The selective impairment of semantic memory is described in three patients with diffuse cerebrallesions. These patients, selected on the basis of a failure to recognize or identify common objects (agnosia for objects), were investigated in detail. In particular, their perceptual, language and memory functions were assessed, and the limits and properties of their recognition difficulties e... ... hiện toàn bộ

Reasoning about a Rule Two experiments were carried out to investigate the difficulty of making the contra-positive inference from conditional sentences of the form, “if P then Q.” This inference, that not-P follows from not-Q, requires the transformation of the information presented in the conditional sentence. It is suggested that the difficulty is due to a mental set for expecting a relation of truth, corres... ... hiện toàn bộ

Attention in Dichotic Listening: Affective Cues and the Influence of Instructions In shadowing one of two simultaneous messages presented dichotically, subjects are unable to report any of the content of the rejected message. Even if the rejected message consists of a short list of simple words repeated many times, a recognition test fails to reveal any trace of the list. If numbers are interpolated in prose passages presented for dichotic shadowing, no more are recall... ... hiện toàn bộ

Contextual Cues in Selective Listening Two messages were presented dichotically and subjects were asked to “shadow” whatever they heard on one ear. Somewhere in the middle the two passages were switched to the opposite ears. Subjects occasionally repeated one or two words, at the break, from the wrong ear, but never transferred to it for longer than this. The higher the transition probabilities in the passage the more likely t... ... hiện toàn bộ

Short-term Memory for Word Sequences as a Function of Acoustic, Semantic and Formal Similarity Experiment I studied short-term memory (STM) for auditorily presented five word sequences as a function of acoustic and semantic similarity. There was a large adverse effect of acoustic similarity on STM (72·5 per cent.) which was significantly greater (p < 0·001) than the small (6·3 per cent.) but reliable effect (p < 0·05) of semantic similarity. Experiment II co... ... hiện toàn bộ

The Binomial Distribution of Right, Mixed and Left HandednessRight, mixed and left handers are found in binomial proportions in seven samples of varied subjects whose lateral preferences were ascertained by several methods. These proportions have been obtained in previous studies of humans and animals when the performance of several actions has been recorded in complete samples and when consistent right and left subjects have been separated from tho... ... hiện toàn bộ

Selective Attention: Perception or Response? Does our limited capacity in selective listening tasks arise primarily in perception or in response organization? To examine this, subjects were given two dichotic messages, one primary and one secondary, and had to make two different responses: the primary response was to “shadow” the primary message; the secondary response was to tap on hearing certain target words in either message. Si... ... hiện toàn bộ

Word Recognition in a Phonemic Dyslexic Patient The systems underlying word recognition were investigated in a single case study of a patient (K.F.) with an acquired dyslexia. His reading performance was related to parts of speech, word frequency and word concreteness, and his reading errors were analysed. There was a very striking difference between his ability to read concrete and abstract words. Furthermore visual errors, which coul... ... hiện toàn bộ
