This study aimed to evaluate the type of attentional selection (location-and/or object-based) triggered by two different types central noninformative cues: eye gaze and arrows.Two rectangular objects were presented in visual field, subjects' attention was directed end a rectangle via observation directional arrows or gaze.Similar experiments with peripheral cues have shown an object-based effect: faster target identification when is on cued object as compared uncued object, even distance...
According to the attention network approach, is best understood in terms of three functionally and neuroanatomically distinct networks - alerting, orienting, executive attention. Recent findings showed that social information influences efficiency these adults. Using some non-social variants Attentional Network Test (ANT), this study was aimed evaluate development childhood, also assessing ability manage or conflicting information. Sixty-six children (three groups 6, 8, 10 years age)...
We investigated whether individuals with high levels of autistic traits integrate relevant communicative signals, such as facial expression, when decoding eye-gaze direction.
Subtle to no attentional differences have been broadly observed when using gaze and arrows as orienting cues. However, recent studies found opposite effects they are used targets in spatial interference tasks, with eliciting faster responses their position is congruent the indicated direction producing incongruent conditions. In two preregistered experiments aimed at exploring mechanisms supporting these findings, we examined whether congruency sequence (CSE) elicited by generalized from one...
Recent research has found that eye gaze and arrows yield opposite congruency effects in a spatial interference paradigm, eliciting faster responses when their direction is congruent with position (standard effect), producing reaction times for incongruent conditions (reversed effect). In addition, we observed by serendipity previous study the standard effect was reduced target appeared within complex background, presumably because of hindered figure-ground segregation. Under same conditions,...
Arrows and gaze stimuli lead to opposite spatial congruency effects. While standard effects are observed for arrows (faster responses congruent conditions), faster when eye-gaze presented on the side of gazed-at location (incongruent trials), leading a reversed effect (RCE). Here, we explored implicit vs. explicit processing direction. Participants were required identify direction (explicit task) or colour (implicit left right looking/pointing arrows, either fixation point. When participants...
The Attentional Networks Test for Interactions and Vigilance-executive arousal components (ANTI-Vea) is a computerized task of 32 min duration in the standard format. simultaneously assesses main effects interactions three attentional networks (i.e., phasic alertness, orienting, executive control) two dissociated vigilance with reasonable reliability (executive vigilance). We present this free publicly accessible resource (ANTI-Vea-UGR; https://anti-vea.ugr.es/) developed to easily run,...
Individuals with high anxiety preferentially focus attention on emotional information. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in modulating both and attentional processes. Despite many studies having evaluated bias anxious people, few of them have investigated the change blindness phenomenon associated response toward salient stimuli, considering ANS. This study aimed to examine heart rate variability (HRV) trait top-down bottom-up processes stimuli. Seventy-five healthy...
Many cognitive functions face a decline in the healthy elderly. Within domains, both attentional processes and executive are impaired with aging. Attention includes three networks, i.e., alerting, orienting, control, showing hemispheric lateralized pattern adults. This could play role modulating efficiency of networks. For these reasons, it be relevant to analyze age-related change specialization study aims clarify this aspect version Attentional Network Test for Interaction (ANTI)-Fruit....
Numerous studies have shown that eye-gaze and arrows automatically shift visuospatial attention. Nonetheless, it remains unclear whether the attentional shifts triggered by these two types of stimuli differ in some important aspects. It has been suggested an difference may reside how people select objects response to cues, eliciting a more specific orienting than arrows. To assess this hypothesis, we examined allocation is modulated presence distribution reference (i.e., placeholders) on...
Individuals diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been found to impairments in multiple aspects of social cognition, thus including the attentional processing socially relevant stimuli such as eye-gaze. However, date, it remains unclear whether only social-specific but not domain-general directional components, elicited by eye-gaze are affected ADHD symptomatology. To address this issue, present study aimed investigate impact ADHD-like traits on purpose, we...
The primary purpose of the present study was to investigate attentional biases for food-related stimuli in individuals with overweight and normal weight using a flicker paradigm. Specifically, it tested whether attention allocation processes differ between transient changes neutral pictures.
