Okada, Takashi; Sato, Wataru; Toichi, Motomi – Brain and Cognition, 2006
Recent findings suggest a right hemispheric dominance in gaze-triggered shifts of attention. The aim of this study was to clarify the dominant hemisphere in the gaze processing that mediates attentional shift. A target localization task, with preceding non-predicative gaze cues presented to each visual field, was undertaken by 44 healthy subjects,…

Vogel, Edward K.; Woodman, Geoffrey F.; Luck, Steven J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
How long does it take to form a durable representation in visual working memory? Several theorists have proposed that this consolidation process is very slow. Here, we measured the time course of consolidation. Observers performed a change-detection task for colored squares, and shortly after the presentation of the first array, pattern masks were…

Blaga, Otilia M.; Colombo, John – Developmental Psychology, 2006
Young infants have repeatedly been shown to be slower than older infants to shift fixation from a midline stimulus to a peripheral stimulus. This is generally thought to reflect maturation of the neural substrates that mediate the disengagement of attention, but this developmental difference may also be attributable to young infants' slower…
