Asymmetry in Gaze Direction Discrimination Between the Upper and Lower Visual Fields
(Sage, 2017-01-06)Previous research has shown that gaze direction can only be accurately discriminated within parafoveal limits (∼5° eccentricity) along the horizontal visual field. Beyond this eccentricity, head orientation seems to influence ... -
Basic Processes in Reading: Spatial Attention as a Necessary Preliminary to Lexical/Semantic Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-21)The question of whether words can be identified without spatial attention has been a topic of considerable interest over the last five and a half decades, but the literature has yielded mixed conclusions. Some studies show ... -
The Interdependence of Attention, Memory, and Performance Based Reward
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-15)Attention is frequently described as a distinct process with distinct effects, and many researchers have suggested that it has a distinct place in the brain. And yet attention is necessarily entangled with the systems ... -
A Representational Response Analysis Framework For Convolutional Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-25)Over the past decade, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become the defacto machine learning model for image processing due to their inherent ability to capitalize on modern data availability and computational ... -
Using Mental Set to Change the Size of Posner's Attentional Spotlight: Implications for how Words are Processed in Visual Space
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-05)The present thesis investigated how words are processed within the context of visual search. Both explicit and implicit measures were used to assess whether spatial attention is a prerequisite for words to undergo processing. ... -
Where Have You Been, What Did You See, and How Did You Get Here: Effects of Prior Trial History in the Context of Exogenous and Endogenous Spatial Cuing
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-29)Three spatial cuing experiments assessed whether the nature of the prior trial affects performance in a two choice target identification task. In Experiment 1 current trial RT was strongly affected by whether prior trial ...
