Differential Impact of Affective and Cognitive Attributes on Preference under Deliberation and Distraction

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Two experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that affective information looms relatively larger than cognitive information when individuals are distracted for a period of time compared to when they engage in deliberative thinking. In two studies,

Distraction by unexpected sounds: comparing response repetition and response switching

Frontiers in Psychology
Numerous studies using oddball tasks have shown that unexpected sounds presented in a predictable or repeated sequence (deviant vs. standard sounds) capture attention and negatively impact ongoing behavioral performance.

Increasing presence via a more immersive VR system increases virtual reality analgesia and draws more attention into virtual reality in a randomized crossover study

Frontiers in Virtual Reality
IntroductionResearchers frequently speculate that Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) diminishes pain by reducing how much attention is available to process nociceptive signals, but attention has rarely been measured in VR analgesia studies.MethodsThe current

Separating acoustic deviance from novelty during the first year of life: A review of event related potential evidence

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
Orienting to salient events in the environment is a first step in the development of attention in young infants. Electrophysiological studies have indicated that in newborns and young infants, sounds with widely distributed spectral energy, such as noise
