Journal ArticleDOI
Attention capture by faces.
TL;DR: Three experiments that investigate whether faces are capable of capturing attention when in competition with other non-face objects offer evidence of a stimulus-driven capture of attention by faces.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of graphical and textual presentations of time series data to support medical decision making in the neonatal intensive care unit.
TL;DR: In this experimental task, participants performed better when presented with a textual summary of the medical scenario than when it was presented as a set of trend graphs, which could be a useful feature of decision support tools in the intensive care unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multitasking: multiple, domain-specific cognitive functions in a virtual environment
TL;DR: The results substantially develop and extend the Burgess et al. (2000b) model to healthy adults and yield new insight into the poorly understood area of everyday multitasking, pointing to the utility of using virtual environments for investigating this form of complex human cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual and phonological similarity effects in verbal immediate serial recall: A test with kanji materials
TL;DR: In a series of three experiments, native speakers of Japanese performed serial ordered written recall of visually presented Japanese kanji characters that varied systematically in visual and phonological similarity as discussed by the authors, which indicated spontaneous use of visual codes in immediate serial recall.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of secondary tasks on multitasking in a virtual environment
TL;DR: Analysis of the secondary task data showed a drop in performance under dual-task conditions, and that drop was greater for the random generation group than the articulatory suppression group, interpreted as suggesting that the central executive and phonological loop components of working memory are implicated in this test of multi-tasking.
