  • Attentional Limitations in Dual-Task Performance
    CHAPTER FOUR Attentional Limitations in Dual-task Performance Harold Pashler University of California, USA James C. Johnston NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, USA INTRODUCTION People's ability (or inability) to do different activities or tasks at the same time is a topic of much interest not only to psychologists, but also to the proverbial "person in the street". It is natural to wonder about what we as human beings can and cannot do. An understanding of our limitations should also have practical value, because the intelligent design of human/machine systems depends as much on knowing the capabilities of people as it does on knowing the capabilities of machines. Human performance limits have played an important role in catastrophes that have occurred in aviation and other fields; a better understanding of those limits might help in designing systems and procedures that can minimize the frequency of such disasters. Simultaneous performance of different tasks is intellectually intriguing as well. The limitations on simultaneous cognition may provide important clues to the architecture of the human mind. The notion that dual-task performance limitations have implications about the "unity of the mind" occurred to people long before the present era of information-processing psychology. In the late nineteenth century, for example, the educated public was fascinated with a phenomenon called "automatic writing", in which People were claimed to be able to write prose while carrying out other tasks (see Koutstaal, 1992). This chapter provides an overview of research on attentional limitations dual-task performance. The organization of the chapter follows a plan 155 4.

But my intention i5 difTerent. By examíning how a certain idea of fate and a certain idea of the image are tied up in the apocalyptic discourses of today's cultural climate, I wouJd like to pose the following question: are we in fact referring to a simple, univocal reality?

On this basis it will perhaps be possible to reflect on what artistic images are, and contem­ porary changes in their status, more soundly. Let us start at the beginning.

    First Term - Exam 1 Full Name: _____________________________ Class: _____________ Time: 55 Minutes October 17th, 2018 1. J. G. Quintel is thirty-six years old. He is an American voice actor, animator, television writer, producer and director. He is best known as the creator of the Cartoon Network series ‘Regular Show’, in which he also voiced the characters Mordecai and High Five Ghost. 2.My name is J.G. Quintel, and I’m the creator of ‘The Regular Show’. I grew up watching cartoons especially‘The Simpsons’, I didn’t miss an episode at all.‘The Simpsons’ was the one that my friends and I were quoting constantly. 3.I really liked drawing, and I liked art. For as long as I can remember, I never wanted to be anything else. When I found out that it’s actually something people do for a living, I decided that I wanted to do that. So I went to college, and now I’m doing it. 4.In school you had to make a film every year.So, I made a film that had Mordecai in itand Benson in it. And it really was like how we acted in school. All the “uuuh!” and “Hmm, hmm!Hmm!hmm!”, that is just me and my friends being idiots.Because of the animation, you can do anything. So, they could have been human but that would be kind of boring. All the characters from my films are not what they happen to be. If you get past the fact that Benson is a gumball machine, or that Pops is a lollipop, they are just normal people hanging out.

    Raising the Bar: The Reciprocal Roles and Deviant Distinctions of Music and Alcohol in Acadiana by © Marion MacLeod A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Ethnomusicology Memorial University of Newfoundland June, 2013 St. John 's, Newfoundland ABSTRACT The role of alcohol in musical settings is regularly relegated to that of incidental by­ stander, but its pervasive presence as object, symbol or subject matter in Acadian and Cajun performance contexts highlights its constructive capacity in the formation of Acadian and Cajun musical worlds. Individual and collective attitudes towards alcohol consumption implicate a wide number of cultural domains which, in this work, include religious display, linguistic development, respect for social conventions, and the historically-situated construction of identities. This research uses alcohol as an interpretive lens for ethnomusicological understanding and, in so doing, questions the binaries of marginal and mainstream, normal and deviant, sacred and profane, traditional and contemporary, sober and inebriated. Attitudes towards alcohol are informed by, and reflected in, all ofthese cultural conflicts, highlighting how agitated such categorizations can be in lived culture. Throughout the dissertation, I combine the historical examples of HatTy Choates and Cy aMateur with ethnographic examinations of culturally-distinct perfonnative habits, attitudes toward Catholicism, and compositional qualities. Compiling often incongruous combinations of discursive descriptions and enacted displays, my research suggests that opposition actually confirms interdependence. Central to this study is an assertion that levels of cultural competence in Cajun Louisiana and Acadian Nova Scotia are uneven and that the repercussions of this unevenness are musically and behaviourally demonstrated.
