Exam 14: Attention and Awareness

Attention-driven enhanced neural responding in contrast detection tasks typically suggest increases as a function of:

Maruya et al. used Continuous Flash Suppression in the other eye to prevent perception of a monocularly presented moving adapting stimulus and compared the resulting aftereffects to those obtained without monocular suppression adaptation. They found:

Applying TMS over the posterior intra-parietal sulcus:

In the studies of Long and Moran on the effects of viewing an unambiguous figure:

Describe the feature similarity gain model, and evidence from humans which supports it.

The feature similarity gain model of Martinez Trujillo and Treue suggests that:

Spitzer et al. found that during a more difficult discrimination task:

Weiskrantz et al. showed that Patient DB (for whom part of V1 in the right hemisphere had been removed) could do which of the following to stimuli presented in the 'blind' region of the visual field:

Mueller and Rabbitt found that the optimal cue-target interval for exogenous attention was:

Goddard et al.'s MEG study found that:

How do exogenous and endogenous attention differ?

What neural structures have most commonly been associated with blindsight?

Lavie suggested that:
