Divided attention: Evidence for coactivation with redundant signals

TL;DR: When two signals are presented, responses are faster than separate-activation models can explain, and the results favor “coactivation” models, in which signals presented on different channels contribute to a common pool of activation that initiate a response.

Visual dominance: an information-processing account of its origins and significance.

TL;DR: The study of visual dominance provides a model situation in which chronometric and phenomenological techniques can be brought together to produce a more complete picture of the relation between information processing and awareness.

The Effects of an Irrelevant Directional CUE on Human Information Processing

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the effects of an irrelevant directional cue on human information processing and the Simon effect with visual displays, which finds that movements to the right are faster when the right command is heard in the right ear than when it is seen in the left ear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Receiver psychology and the evolution of multicomponent signals.

TL;DR: Psychological results that support the notion that two components are better received than one alone are presented, and it is shown that multicomponency does indeed improve signal reception in receivers, although the benefits of producing components in two sensory modalities may be larger and more robust than producing them in just one.

Neurotrophins use the Erk5 pathway to mediate a retrograde survival response

TL;DR: The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways used by neurotrophins during retrograde signaling differ from those used following direct stimulation of the cell soma, and the Erk5 pathway has a unique function in Retrograde signaling.

Components of attention

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that a stimulus may be used to increase alertness for processing all external information, to improve selection of particular stimuli, or to do both simultaneously.

Components of attention.

TL;DR: Experimental techniques designed to separate these components of alertness, selectivity, and processing capacity and examine their interrelations within comparable tasks are outlined.

S-R compatibility : spatial characteristics of stimulus and response codes

TL;DR: The present paper reports the results of two experiments designed to demonstrate the utility of the concept of stimulus-response compatibility in the development of a theory of perceptual-motor behavior.
