Analyses of the particular arrays from which reported letters are chosen and of the joint probabilities of reporting pairs of letters are used to derive a theory of attention dynamics. An attention window opens 0.15 s following a cue to attend to a location, remains open (minimally) 0.2 s, and admits information simultaneously from all the newly attended locations. The window dynamics are independent of the distance moved. The theory accounts for about 90% of the variance from the over 400 data points obtained from each of the observers in the 3 experiments reported here. With minor elaborations, it applies to all the principal paradigms used to study the dynamics of visual spatial attention.

  • Cognitive Functions of the Brain: Perception, Attention and Memory
    IFM LAB TUTORIAL SERIES # 6, COPYRIGHT c IFM LAB Cognitive Functions of the Brain: Perception, Attention and Memory Jiawei Zhang [email protected] Founder and Director Information Fusion and Mining Laboratory (First Version: May 2019; Revision: May 2019.) Abstract This is a follow-up tutorial article of [17] and [16], in this paper, we will introduce several important cognitive functions of the brain. Brain cognitive functions are the mental processes that allow us to receive, select, store, transform, develop, and recover information that we've received from external stimuli. This process allows us to understand and to relate to the world more effectively. Cognitive functions are brain-based skills we need to carry out any task from the simplest to the most complex. They are related with the mechanisms of how we learn, remember, problem-solve, and pay attention, etc. To be more specific, in this paper, we will talk about the perception, attention and memory functions of the human brain. Several other brain cognitive functions, e.g., arousal, decision making, natural language, motor coordination, planning, problem solving and thinking, will be added to this paper in the later versions, respectively. Many of the materials used in this paper are from wikipedia and several other neuroscience introductory articles, which will be properly cited in this paper. This is the last of the three tutorial articles about the brain. The readers are suggested to read this paper after the previous two tutorial articles on brain structure and functions [17] as well as the brain basic neural units [16].

  • Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element Binding Protein (CPEB): a Prion-Like Protein As a Regulator of Local Protein Synthesis and Synaptic Plasticity
    Luana Fioriti Research Associate Scholar The Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America at Columbia University Weekly Seminar of the Fellows Program April 11th, 2007 Cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein (CPEB): a prion-like protein as a regulator of local protein synthesis and synaptic plasticity 1.INTRODUCTION With this paper I would like to describe you what is my research project here at Columbia and how I am trying to address the many questions underlying my project by working everyday in the lab. But before doing this I feel somehow obliged to give you an introduction on the basic concepts of neurobiology. Therefore we will start with a brief definition and description of what is a neuron, how neurons interact to form synapse and neural circuits, how synapse activity can be modified and finally how these changes in synaptic activity underlie high cognitive processes such as learning and memory. After providing you this, I hope not too boring introduction, I will go deeper into the molecular aspects of these phenomenon and I will illustrate you the main goal of my research, which is to characterize the role of a particular protein called Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element Binding protein with respect to the morphological and physiological changes that occur at the synapse after neuronal stimulation. Memory In psychology, memory is an organism's ability to store, retain, and subsequently recall information. Although traditional studies of memory began in the realms of philosophy, the late nineteenth and early twentieth century put memory within the paradigms of cognitive psychology. In recent decades, it has become one of the principal pillars of a new branch of science called cognitive neuroscience, a marriage between cognitive psychology and neuroscience.

  • 17. MEMORY in Psychology, Memory Is an Organism's Ability to Store, Retain, and Recall Information. Traditional Studies of Memor
    17. MEMORY In psychology, memory is an organism's ability to store, retain, and recall information. Traditional studies of memory began in the fields of philosophy, including techniques of artificially enhancing the memory. The late nineteenth and early twentieth century put memory within the paradigms of cognitive psychology. In recent decades, it has become one of the principal pillars of a branch of science called cognitive neuroscience, an interdisciplinary link between cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Sensory memory Sensory memory corresponds approximately to the initial 200 - 500 milliseconds after an item is perceived. The ability to look at an item, and remember what it looked like with just a second of observation, or memorization, is an example of sensory memory. With very short presentations, participants often report that they seem to "see" more than they can actually report. The first experiments exploring this form of sensory memory were conducted by George Sperling (1960) using the "partial report paradigm." Subjects were presented with a grid of 12 letters, arranged into three rows of 4. After a brief presentation, subjects were then played either a high, medium or low tone, cuing them which of the rows to report. Based on these partial report experiments, Sperling was able to show that the capacity of sensory memory was approximately 12 items, but that it degraded very quickly (within a few hundred milliseconds). Because this form of memory degrades so quickly, participants would see the display, but be unable to report all of the items (12 in the "whole report" procedure) before they decayed. This type of memory cannot be prolonged via rehearsal.

It is important for so many things we do in our everyday lives that it is difficult to think of something humans do that doesn’t involve memory. To better understand its importance, imagine trying to do your everyday tasks without memory. When you first wake up in the morning you know whether you need to jump out of bed and hurry to get ready to leave or whether you can lounge in bed for a while because you remember what you have to do that day and what time your first task of the day begins. Without memory, you would not know what you needed to do that day. In fact, you would not know who you are, where you are, or what you are supposed to be doing at any given moment. It would be like waking up disoriented every minute. There are, in fact, individuals who must live their lives without the aid of these kinds of memories.

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/ircs_reports/42 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Lifetime of Human Visual Sensory Memory: Properties and Neural Substrate Abstract The classic partial-report procedure was modified to optimize the condition to measure the transient decay of visual sensory memory (VSM, also known as iconic memory). A model was developed to isolate the VSM and visual working memory (VWM) underlying the partial-report performance. The decay of VSM in each subject was well characterized by a single exponential function, thus a lifetime could be defined for VSM decay in individual subjects. It was found that intensive practice with partialreport task prolonged VSM lifetime. This practice effect shows an unexpected adaptive property of VSM and reveals VSM lifetime as a specific dimension for perceptual learning. Of the stimulus parameters, a change of the mean luminance of the stimuli from that of the background shortened the VSM lifetime. Such a "luminance effect" is consistent with the temporal properties of the spatial frequency channels in the visual pathway, most likely revealing the differences in the time course of the decay of the memory traces in these channels.

It is the retention of information over time for the purpose of influencing future action. If past events could not be remembered, it would be impossible for language, relationships, or personal identity to develop. Memory loss is usually described as forgetfulness or amnesia. Memory is often understood as an informational processing system with explicit and implicit functioning that is made up of a sensory processor, short-term (or working) memory, and long- term memory. This can be related to the neuron. The sensory processor allows information from the outside world to be sensed in the form of chemical and physical stimuli and attended to various levels of focus and intent.

  • Explain Sperling's Experiments About Sensory Memory. Compare and Contrast the Results of the Whole- Vs
    Cognitive Psychology Exam 2 Sample Questions Chapter 5 Material: Explain Sperling's experiments about sensory memory. Compare and contrast the results of the whole- vs. partial-report methods, and use this example to explain how clever experimentation can reveal rapid cognitive processes that we are usually unaware of. This experiment measured the capacity and duration of sensory memory by flashing an array of letters on a screen and asking participants to report as many as possible. When they were asked to report as many as could be seen, using the whole report method, they could only recall 4.5/12 letters. When a tone was added to signify which row to recall using the partial report method, they could report 3.3/4 letters. Explain proactive interference and the release from proactive interference. First, provide experimental evidence for these phenomena. Then, use these two concepts to describe successful strategies for studying in college. George Sperling showed that the perceptual span of 4.5 items was really a limit on a. perception. b. memory. c. processing. d. attention. The three structural components of the modal model of memory are a. receptors, occipital lobe, temporal lobe. b. receptors, temporal lobe, frontal lobe. c. sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory. d. sensory memory, iconic memory, rehearsal. When a sparkler is twirled rapidly, people perceive a circle of light.
