Modality-specificity of selective attention networks
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Objective: To establish the modality specificity and generality of selective attention networks. Method: Forty-eight young adults completed a battery of four auditory and visual selective attention tests based upon the Attention Network framework: the ...

Happy but still focused: failures to find evidence for a mood-induced widening of visual attention [PDF]
, 2013 In models of affect and cognition it is held that positive affect broadens the scope of attention. Consistent with this claim, previous research has indeed suggested that positive affect is associated with impaired selective attention as evidenced by ...

A comprehensive review of attention tests: can we assess what we exactly do not understand?
The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2023 Attention, as it is now defined as a process matching data from the environment to the needs of the organism, is one of the main aspects of human cognitive processes.

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Auditory Attention in Rats (Dissertation) [PDF]
, 2008 How does attention modulate sensory representations? In order to probe the underlying neural mechanisms, we established a simple rodent model of modality-specific attention.

Selective Attention in Multi-Chip Address-Event Systems
Sensors, 2009 Selective attention is the strategy used by biological systems to cope with the inherent limits in their available computational resources, in order to efficiently process sensory information. The same strategy can be used in artificial systems that have

Dynamics of alpha suppression index both modality specific and general attention processes
NeuroImage, 2023 EEG alpha power varies under many circumstances requiring visual attention. However, mounting evidence indicates that alpha may not only serve visual processing, but also the processing of stimuli presented in other sensory modalities, including hearing.

Development of Auditory Selective Attention: Why Children Struggle to Hear in Noisy Environments [PDF]
, 2015 Children’s hearing deteriorates markedly in the presence of unpredictable noise. To explore why, 187 school-age children (4–11 years) and 15 adults performed a tone-in-noise detection task, in which the masking noise varied randomly between every ...

Reappraisal of stress improves selective attention
Journal of Human Environmental Studies, 2019 Everyday stress is a negative experience that impairs cognitive performance. Managing negative emotions competes with executive function processes. Therefore, reducing negative emotion could improve cognitive function while under stress.

Categorization templates modulate selective attention [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2022 Many models of attention assume that categorization (the individuation of events based on the feature dimension relevant for response selection) occurs only after an object has been selected and encoded in working memory (WM). In contrast, we propose that the match between an item and the currently activated set of possible response features ...

Paying attention to working memory: similarities in the spatial distribution of attention in mental and physical space [PDF]
, 2016 Selective attention is not limited to information that is physically present in the external world, but can also operate on mental representations in the internal world.
