As media usage continues to increase on a global scale, fueled by the proliferation of mobile devices, this facilitates the effortless behavior of mediamultitasking. This paradigm shift in the way in which media is consumed presents... more
This paper presents an overview of the key neuroscience studies investigating the neural mechanisms of self-initiated movements that form the basis of our human consciousness. These studies, which commenced with the seminal works of... more
Des déficits attentionnels peuvent perturber la lecture et participent aux difficultés rencontrées par certains enfants dyslexiques. Les procédures de lecture par adressage et par assemblage sont vulnérables à ces déficits, notamment... more
Binaural beats have been hypothesized as a potential tool for creating cognitive stimulation for over a hundred years (Peterson, J. 1916). When two slightly different tones are played simultaneously in each our brains synchronize the two... more
ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed childhood 'mental disorder'. A process description of attention is presented, and attention 'deficit' (ADD) is explored in terms of psychological aspects: stimulation, motivation, distraction, emotion,... more
This study examined the notion that visually fixating at a stimulus can help prevent change blindness from occurring and looks at change blindness blindness, a common metacognitive error shown by participants. 77 participants were... more
Twelve children with developmental dyslexia underwent a four-month treatment with tachistoscopic presentation of words, according to Bakker’s methodology. One group received standard lateral presentation of words on a PC screen, while the... more
"Objective. Failure to identify fractures is the most common error in Accident and Emergency departments. Therefore, the current research aimed to understand more about the processes underlying perceptual expertise when interpreting... more

A critique of the 2014 APA Division 30 Definition of Hypnosis
This paper accomplishes two tasks. First, I unpack Husserl's analysis of interest from his 1893 manuscript, "Notes Towards a Theory of Attention and Interest" to demonstrate that it comprises his first rigorous genetic analysis of... more
This chapter describes the processes involved in attention to warnings. Attention has two stages. One is the capture or switch stage in which the warning must capture attention by standing out from other stimuli in cluttered and noisy... more
Dujmović, M. & Valerjev, P. (2018). A person, a dog, and a vase: The effect of avatar type in a perspective-taking task. In K. Damnjanović, I. Stepanović Ilić, & S. Marković (Eds.), Proceedings of the 24th Scientific Conference Empirical... more
OBJECTIVE: Adults diagnosed with attentional deficit disorder (ADHD) are easily distracted in many tasks. Yet ADHD performance on inattentional blindness (IB) tasks has not been examined. Such investigation may aid in discriminating... more
The selective nature of visual attention prioritizes objects in a scene that are most perceptually salient, those relevant to personal goals, and animate objects. Here we present data from two intentional change detection studies designed... more
We investigated visual attentional biases towards self-made artworks. Self-made objects tend to be favoured, remembered, valued, and ranked above and beyond objects that are not related to the self. On this basis, we set out to test... more
A fundamental issue in visual attention is the relationship between the useful field of view (UFOV), the region of visual space where information is encoded within a single fixation, and eccentricity. A common assumption is that impairing... more
Object substitution masking (OSM) is said to occur when a perceptual object is hypothesised that is mismatched by subsequent sensory evidence, leading to a new hypothesised object being substituted for the first. An example is when a... more
La movilización de la atención a partir de estímulos que se presentan de manera inesperada (Claves orientación) produce tres resultados comunes: 1) Si la clave indica alguna posición espacial donde se presentará un estímulo, la respuesta... more
Planned and reflexive behaviors often occur in the presence of emotional stimuli and within the context of an individual’s acute emotional state. Therefore, determining the manner in which emotion and attention interact is an important... more
What is it like to perceive a feared object? According to a popular neo-Gibsonian theory in psychology, fear biases our perceptions of objects so as to encourage particular kinds of actions: when we are afraid, spiders may be perceived as... more
This chapter describes the two major process stages of attention. The first involves switching attention to a salient stimulus. The second involves maintaining attention-while information is encoded in memory. This chapter focuses on... more
We examined if there is any intrinsically “hard-wired” tendency in the subject’s Visual Attention. When asked to spontaneously decide preferences for shape or grouping of shapes, distinct patterns of preference in human test subjects were... more
Affective and cognitive factors play an important role in the activation and regulation of men’s sexual arousal. Barlow (1986) argued that initial affective reactions determine the allocation of attention to sexual stimuli. We applied... more
Studies on prospective memory (PM) predominantly assess either event- or time-based PM by implementing non-ecological laboratory-based tasks. The results deriving from these paradigms have provided findings that are discrepant with... more
Covert shifts of visuospatial attention are traditionally assumed to occur in the absence of oculomotor behavior. In contrast, recent behavioral studies have linked attentional cueing effects to the occurrence of microsaccades, small... more
