Abstract:

Awareness is the experiencing in life. It is how you experience being yourself in your surroundings moment by moment. But of all the possible things you can be aware of in the moment, it is something that always takes the spotlight. Attention is that directing spotlight. Attention is the focus in the open field of awareness. Attention is something that we have all the time, but it seems to be constrained to the experience of a thought or emotion that we have in the moment. We have a feeling that we are our thoughts and therefor as soon as something arises in the mind, we have an urge to strive

Abstract:

Meditation has been practiced around the world for thousands of years and has during the past decade become increasingly popular in the Western world. Meditation can be seen as a form of mental exercise and refers to a family of complex emotional and attentional regulatory practices that involves different attentional, cognitive monitoring and awareness processes. Clinical research on meditation has demonstrated that meditation seem to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Recent interest in how meditation affect the human brain and body have lead to an increase in research regarding the neu

Abstract:

What is known as Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) today has been known by other titles in the past such as minimal brain dysfunction and Hyperkinetic Reaction of Childhood. These label changes represented the change in knowledge and understanding of the disorder over time. Today, it is thought that a main component to the disorder is an attention deficit. The problem is that of yet, the cause of this deficit has not been identified. In an attempt to further understand this disorder, visual attention studies are being conducted.

Abstract:

Judging by introspection and intuition, most of us would agree that the we become conscious of events in the external physical world when we pay attention to them and things we notice (i.e., become conscious of) are the ones that attract our attention. A long tradition of investigations in psychology and neuroscience also confirm that attention and awareness go hand in hand. Recently, however, the validity of this intuition has been questioned. This thesis addresses the hypothesis that attention and awareness might be disentangled at behavioural and neurobiological levels. Two main questions w

Abstract:

The serotonergic system along with other brain neurotransmitter systems has been implicated in the modulation of cognitive function. Dysregulation or pathology in neurotransmitter systems is thought to underlie the cognitive impairments associated with normal ageing, a number of disease states and chronic drug abuse. Research into the influence of serotonergic systems on cognition has focussed on the modulation of other neurotransmitter systems by serotonergic input and the importance of serotonergic receptor subtypes for learning and memory. There is evidence supporting an action of serotonin

The main aim was to discover if there are any differences in the ways that young and older adults utilise attentional resources. When provided with training to use attentional cues,

In everyday life, we are constantly surrounded by a huge amount of information.Since our attentional resources are limited, we need to select just the stimuli that we want to process.

Attention is essential to everyday life: without some selective function to guide and limit the processing of incoming information, our visual system would be overwhelmed.

In particular, the research reported here is aimed at examining two aspects of the spatiotemporal dynamics of attention: a) the rate at which the focus of attention is shrunk and expanded along with the factors that influence this rate, and b) the fact

Abstract:

Understanding human cognition requires the characterisation of the limitations that our processing capacities are subject to. Such questions have been central to the examination of two key constructs in cognitive psychology: Working Memory (WM) and attention. In the domain of WM, recent models have posited a focus of attention, analogous to selective attention in perception, in which a single item is prioritised over others for cognitive operations. In nine experiments, this thesis explores the nature of the focus of attention in spatial WM in two regards. First, I used eye movements and react

In a test, pigeons learnt a discrimination based upon previously relevant stimuli more rapidly than they did a discrimination based on previously irrelevant stimuli. This was evident when discriminations were based on colours that were close or far apart on the spectrum.
