Evidence against a central bottleneck during the attentional blink: multiple channels for configural and featural processing.

When a visual target is identified, there is a period of several hundred milliseconds when the processing of subsequent targets is impaired, a phenomenon labeled the attentional blink (AB). The emerging consensus is that the identification of a visual target temporarily occupies a limited attentional resource that is essential for all visual perception. The present results challenge this view. With the same digit discrimination task that impaired subsequent letter discrimination for several hundred milliseconds, we found no disruption of subsequent face discrimination. These results suggest that all stimuli do not compete for access to a single resource for visual perception. We propose a multi-channel account of interference in the AB paradigm.

The role of anticipation and intention in the learning of effects of self-performed actions.

The anticipative learning model for acquiring action-effect relations states that the acquisition of action-effect relations depends on processes that are part of action planning, in particular the anticipation of possible effects. Experiment 1 shows that response planning is indeed crucial for the learning of response effects. In this experiment distractors (tones) were presented either during response preparation or in the time interval between response execution and the presentation of a response effect. Response-effect learning was impaired when the distractors were presented during response preparation. The finding is consistent with the assumption that the distractors impaired the anticipation of potential effects and therefore reduced effect learning. In Experiment 2 all responses had two effects. Participants were instructed to produce one of the effects. Under this condition, response-effect learning was only found for the instructed effect, not for the non-instructed effect. The two experiments thus support the view that response-effect learning is selective and depends on the anticipation of potential effects during response planning. The results are discussed in terms of a model that explains both the learning of response-effect relations and the use of these effects for action control within the same theoretical framework.

Neurobehavioural test results and exposure to inorganic mercury: in search of dose-response relations.

The aim of the analysis was, in general, to find a way to summarise results of studies in search of exposure-response relationships and, in particular, to ask whether an exposure-response relationship can be ascertained for neurobehavioural studies on occupational mercury exposure. Eighteen studies dealing with human mercury exposure and examining 1,106 exposed and 1,105 control subjects were included in the analysis. Effect sizes were calculated for each of the single neuropsychological test results on cognitive and motor performance and were considered in relation to mean current concentrations of exposure. The total of effect sizes demonstrated a correlation to exposure in the range of r=0.50. Additional analyses showed that the influence of mercury on psychological functions was different and that results on motor performance compared with memory and attention revealed the greatest impairment in mercury-exposed workers. Implications for the reversibility of impairments could be discussed because three of the studies examined subjects whose exposure had ceased. Besides the usefulness of the approach, it became obvious that the available 18 studies are a small sample, even when non-dimensional effect-sizes are used; hence, not all psychological domains covered by tests could be analysed.
