The Effects of Extinction-Aroused Attention on Context Conditioning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nelson, James Byron; Fabiano, Andrew M.; Lamoureux, Jeffrey A. – Learning & Memory, 2018
Two experiments assessed the effects of extinguishing a conditioned cue on subsequent context conditioning. Each experiment used a different video-game method where sensors predicted attacking spaceships and participants responded to the sensor in a way that prepared them for the upcoming attack. In Experiment 1 extinction of a cue which signaled…

Multisensory Cues Capture Spatial Attention Regardless of Perceptual Load
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Santangelo, Valerio; Spence, Charles – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
We compared the ability of auditory, visual, and audiovisual (bimodal) exogenous cues to capture visuo-spatial attention under conditions of no load versus high perceptual load. Participants had to discriminate the elevation (up vs. down) of visual targets preceded by either unimodal or bimodal cues under conditions of high perceptual load (in…

The Effects of Overlearning on Children's Nonreversal and Reversal Learning Using Unrelated Stimuli
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schaeffer, Benson; Ellis, Stephen – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1970
Two experiments show that response to explicit dimensions is not crucial to the change from easier nonreversal to easier reversal shifts during overlearning in grammar school children ages 7, 8, and 9. (WY)

Dimensional Preference, Pretraining, and Attention in Children's Concept Identification
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rollins, Howard; Castle, Kathryn – Child Development, 1973
These results provide a more precise attentional interpretation of both preference and pretraining effects. (Authors)

Reducing Stimulus Overselectivity in Autistic Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schreibman, Laura; And Others – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 1977
The present investigation was conducted to determine if stimulus overselectivity in 19 autistic children (5 to 12 years old) is changed as a function of repeated exposure to testing. (Author/SBH)

The Effect of Partially Valid Cues on Children's Discrimination Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Offenbach, Stuart I. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Second graders were administered a two-choice discrimination task in which irrelevant dimensions were correlated .50, .75, or 1.00 with the 100 percent rewarded cue. Results indicate that learning was most impeded in the .75 condition and was most efficient in the 1.00 condition. These results support the Hypothesis Testing Theory of…

Learning and Discrimination of Audiovisual Events in Human Infants: The Hierarchical Relation between Intersensory Temporal Synchrony and Rhythmic Pattern Cues.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lewkowicz, David J. – Developmental Psychology, 2003
Three experiments examined 4- to 10-month-olds' perception of audio-visual (A-V) temporal synchrony cues in the presence or absence of rhythmic pattern cues. Results established that infants of all ages could discriminate between two different audio-visual rhythmic events. Only 10-month-olds detected a desynchronization of the auditory and visual…

Infants' Perception of the Audible, Visible, and Bimodal Attributes of Multimodal Syllables.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lewkowicz, David J. – Child Development, 2000
Three experiments investigated 4-, 6-, and 8-month-olds' perception of the audible, visible, and combined attributes of bimodally specified syllables. Results suggested that at 4 months, infants attended primarily to the featural information, at 6 months primarily to the asynchrony, and at 8 months to both features independently. (Author/KB)
