Dementia poses a huge challenge – not only to the persons living with condition but also their family and friends. Recent research has demonstrated that engaging in creative activities can serve as coping mechanism deal dementia of loved one. An art exhibition was created communicate this insight broader audience. As indicated by interviews exhibitors visitors well an analysis notes left exhibition, helped generating important knowledge regarding usefulness activities, opened new...
In many situations, people have to switch between different tasks. Previous research has shown that task switching leads relatively slow responses and high error rates. real-life task-switching contexts, tasks are not randomly distributed over time, but the temporal distribution of carries information. Often delay before a predicts some degree which it will be, like when longer browser loading time for website makes search an alternative more likely. The present study investigated whether...
Humans form associations between time intervals and subsequent events thus develop time-based expectancies that enable action preparation. For instance, when each of two foreperiods (short vs. long) is frequently paired with one specific task (e.g., number magnitude judgment parity judgment) infrequently the alternative task, participants are faster to respond frequent rather than infrequent foreperiod-task combinations. Here, we investigated course expectancy by measuring eye movements...

Recent research has shown that humans are able to implicitly adapt time-transition contingencies in a task-switching paradigm, indicated by better performance trials where the task transition (switch vs. repetition) is validly predicted pre-target interval compared with invalidly transitions. As participants switched between only two different tasks, not transition, but also specific was predictable; at least indirectly when taking into account temporally current trial together previous...
The present study, for the first time, investigated influence of time delays and spatial arrangement products on quality rating wine bottles in an online shop. For this purpose, shop was simulated which participants selected various from overview page. After had a bottle, enlarged version presented after system response either 200 or 1400 ms. Participants then viewed rated locations website Results showed that average ratings short long did not differ. However, left right side page received...
When the duration of a pre-target interval probabilistically predicts identity target, participants typically form time-based expectancies: they respond faster to frequent interval-target combinations than infrequent ones. Yet, previous research investigating cognitive time-processing mechanisms underlying expectancy assessed always in situations with binary set intervals (i.e. short vs. long). Here we aim test whether transfers more complex settings three different predictive time (short,...
Abstract The temporal predictability of upcoming events plays a crucial role in the adjustment anticipatory cognitive control multitasking. Previous research has demonstrated that task switching performance improved if tasks were validly predictable by pre-target interval. Hence, far, underlying processes time-based expectancy have not been clearly defined. present study investigated whether effect is due to post-perceptual components or rather facilitation perceptual visual processing...
