Abstract An experiment is reported which explored the possible dissociation between visual and spatial working memory in children. Children aged 5–6, 8–9 11–12 years were given a recognition test for patterns or sequences of movements to targets. Memory was better than movement this difference largest eldest group, larger middle group younger group. In contrasting condition, same groups children tested using immediate recall rather recognition. A similar advantage pattern over sequence...
Abstract Early in a scientific debate, before much evidence has accumulated, why are some scientists inclined toward one position and other the opposite position? We explore this issue with focus on scientists' views of ‘imagery debate’ that unfolded Cognitive Science during late 1970s early 1980s. examine possibility that, years researchers' were shaped by their own conscious experiences imagery. Consistent suggestion, survey 150 psychologists, philosophers, neuroscientists showed those who...

Previous studies have demonstrated that working memory for spatial location can be significantly disrupted by concurrent eye or limb movement (Baddeley, 1986; Smyth, Pearson, & Pendleton, 1988). Shifts in attention alone also interfere with span (Smyth Scholey, 1994), even no corresponding of the eyes limbs (Smyth, 1996). What is not clear from these how comparable magnitude effect caused different forms disrupter. Recently, it has been movements produce as much interference do reflexive...

Three experiments are reported, which have investigated the nature of cognitive mechanisms that underlie performance on specific visuo-spatial working memory tasks, with emphasis exploring extent central executive involvement. Experiments 1 and 2 employed oral random digit generation as an task within a dual-task paradigm. The results both indicated tasks involve sequential processing information show more interference than do simultaneous processing. third experiment substituted for did not...
Abstract A series of three experiments is reported that have examined how the specialist components working memory model (Baddeley, 1986; Baddeley & Hitch, 1974) are involved during performance mental synthesis. The results indicate spatial manipulation material synthesis draws on resources memory, whereas maintenance verbal representations can play an important role in making effective use cognitive task as a whole. These interpreted within framework revised visuo-spatial which act...
Abstract An experiment is reported examining the role of attention and expertise in multiple target tracking. It compares ability professional radar operators (experts) undergraduate students (novices) to acquire track subsets randomly moving targets amongst distractors, respond appropriately a probe. Participants undertook this tracking task alone then, subsequently, conjunction with second, digit categorization task. For half participants, second commenced prior task's acquisition phase,...
There is little consensus regarding the specific processes responsible for encoding, maintenance, and retrieval of information in visuo-spatial working memory (VSWM). One influential theory that VSWM may involve activation eye-movement (oculomotor) system. In this study we experimentally prevented healthy participants from planning or executing saccadic eye-movements during stages visual spatial tasks. Participants experienced a significant reduction span only when oculomotor preparation was...
"New Zealand's immigration policies and trends since 1945 are compared with those of Canada Australia. For most this period, Australia has pursued the more expansive policy while New Zealand have tended to link intakes fluctuations in labor demand. All three countries initially discriminated against non-European immigrants but gradually moved towards nondiscriminatory based on similar selection criteria means assessment. traditionally been cautious than both terms how many it accepted from...
In order to identify the cognitive processes associated with target tracking, a dual-task experiment was carried out in which participants undertook dynamic multiple-object tracking task first alone and then again, concurrently one of several secondary tasks, investigate involved. The research suggests that after designated targets within visual field have attracted preattentive indexes point their locations space, conscious processes, vulnerable spatial interference, form deliberate...
Flow (being in the zone) is purported to have positive consequences terms of affect and performance; however, there no empirical evidence about these links visual creativity. Positive often—but inconsistently—facilitates creativity, both may be linked experiencing flow. This study aimed determine relationships between variables within Participants performed creative mental synthesis task simulate process. Affect change (pre- vs. post-task) flow were measured via questionnaires. The...
There is growing evidence supporting a role for eye movements during autobiographical recall, but their potential functionality remains unclear. We hypothesise that the oculomotor system facilitates process of mental scene construction, in which complex scenes associated with an event are generated and maintained recall. To explore this, we examined spontaneous retrieval cued memories. Participants' verbal descriptions each memory were recorded synchronisation pupil size For participants...
Reactivating a target memory and subsequently playing the computer game Tetris is thought to reduce intrusive memories being explored clinically. However, current literature on effect of intrusions has limitations. To examine whether previous finding from experimental research that reduces trauma film related replicable in large sample, we conducted preregistered, multi-site study healthy participants. Experiment 1 (N = 141) showed similar intrusion rates an updated was then used 2. In line...
Defining physiology and methods to measure biological mechanisms is essential. Extensive datasets such as RNA sequencing are used with little analysis of the knowledge gained from various methodologies. Within this work, we have processed publicly available NCBI RNAseq using a combination bioinformatics tools for largest physiological organ, skin. In many datasets, identify quality sample, human transcript mapping, sex each foreign bacteria/viruses/protists, presence B/T-cell immune...
This article discusses citizenship in states with a history as British 'dominion' settler societies, focusing on questions of ethnicity and national identity. After noting the shortcomings T. H. Marshall's widely used model, key differences between English society experience are outlined, drawing illustrative material from Australia, New Zealand, Canada. The main settler/English state highlighted, presence aboriginal peoples distinct juridicial political statuses; characteristic set...
