Attention and attribute overlap in preferential choice
Attributes that are common, or overlapping, across alternatives in two-alternative forced preferential choice tasks are often non-diagnostic. In many settings, attending to and evaluating these attributes does not help the decision maker determine which of the available alternatives is the most desirable. For this reason, many existing behavioural theories propose that...
Parietal Alpha tACS Shows Inconsistent Effects on Visuospatial Attention, 2018-2019
We aimed to build on research using transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to modulate visuospatial attention. The goal was to replicate previous findings that lateralized parietal tACS at alpha frequency induces a change in attention bias away from the contra- towards the ipsilateral visual hemifield. 40 healthy participants underwent tACS in two separate...
Teaching the visual system to segment and interpret images of overlapping transparent objects
Behavioural and eye-movement data gathered from five experiments that examined visual search behaviour/performance in stereoscopic displays. Experiments 1-4 involved examining search of stereoscopic displays under varying levels of overlap (0%, 45%, 90%), and varying task conditions (participants were asked to search for either one or two targets). Each of the first four...
Cross-cultural differences in biased cognition - Pilot task data
This data collection consists of pilot data measuring task equivalence for measures of attention and interpretation bias. Congruent Mandarin and English emotional Stroop, attention probe (both measuring attention bias) and similarity ratings task and scrambled sentence task (both measuring interpretation bias) were developed using back-translation and decentering procedures....
The contribution of visual attention and declining verbalmemory abilities to age-related route learning deficits 2015-2018
Our ability to learn unfamiliar routes declines in typical and atypical ageing. The reasons for this decline, however, are not well understood. Here we used eye-tracking to investigate how ageing
affects people’s ability to attend to navigationally relevant information and to select unique objects as landmarks. We created short routes through a virtual environment, each...
Attention in bilingual children with developmental language disorder
These data accompany the article, "Attention in Bilingual Children with Developmental Language Disorder", published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. The data were collected from 175 6- to 8-year old children exposed to only English or both Spanish and English. Data from direct language assessments, parent report instruments (on attention skills,...
Attention skill training in dutch children with and without dyslexia - Experiment 3
The dataset contains all raw data and corresponding standard scores used for analyses in the research described by Walda, Weenk, Van Weerdenburg, and Bosman (in preparation). Also, corresponding edited scores of the Attention Concentration Test (ACT) are displayed. The raw scores of the ACT were edited using computer programs designed by the designers of the ACT.The...
Attention skill training in dutch children with dyslexia - experiment 1
The dataset contains all raw data and corresponding standard scores used for analyses in the research described by Walda, Van Weerdenburg, Van der Ven, and Bosman (under review). Also, corresponding edited scores of the Attention Concentration Test (ACT) are displayed. The raw scores of the ACT were edited using computer programs designed by the designers of the ACT. The...
Attention skill training in dutch children with dyslexia - Experiment 2
The manuscript addresses attention skill, as assessed with the ACT in children with dyslexia. For a full description of the reading and spelling remediation program, and all measures see the manuscript of Experiment 1 (Walda, Van Weerdenburg, Van der Ven, & Bosman, 2022). Data of Experiment 1 were previously deposited in DANS-EASY (https://doi.org/10.17026/dans-258-kq8c).An...
Tracing the template - Investigating the representation of perceptual relevance: Experimental data
This data collection contains the behavioural and EEG data from the main experiments conducted in this research project.
The main goals of this project were as follows: human visual perception is strongly affected by current expectations and intentions. What is perceived is determined by what is attended, and what is attended is determined by "images in the mind" that guide...
Effects of cognitive aging on attentional engagement during route learning -Experimental data
Route learning is a common navigation task affected by cognitive aging. Here we present a novel experimental paradigm to investigate whether age-related declines in executive control of attention contributes to route learning deficits. A young and an older participant group was repeatedly presented with a route through a virtual maze comprised of twelve decision points (DP)...
