Abstract

The Attentional Boost Effect (ABE) refers to the finding that images encoded with to-be-responded targets are later remembered more accurately than images encoded with to-be-ignored distractors. The Dual-Task Interaction Model posits that the Attentional Boost Effect (ABE) elicits a transient enhancement in the perceptual resources allocated to the processing of target-associated images. With visual materials, this assumption has been supported by previous data showing that the ABE enhances pattern separation. In the present study we sought to determine first whether this facilitation could be replicated using a different paradigm, and second whether it could be extended to verbal materials. Furthermore, the use of words allowed us to disentangle the impact of the ABE on perceptual and conceptual pattern separation. The results showed that the ABE enhanced traditional recognition memory in all cases, whereas it failed to increase pattern separation, irrespective of the nature of the processes involved and the number of response options available in the recognition task. Our data are consistent with the idea that the ABE with verbal materials operates at the level of abstract, amodal representations.
视觉和语言材料的注意力增强效应和模式分离
注意增强效应(attention Boost Effect, ABE)指的是这样一种发现:与被忽视的干扰物编码的图像相比,被回应的目标编码的图像后来被记忆得更准确。双任务交互模型假设注意增强效应(attention Boost Effect, ABE)引起分配给目标相关图像处理的知觉资源的短暂增强。对于视觉材料,先前的数据表明ABE增强了模式分离,这一假设得到了支持。在本研究中,我们首先试图确定这种促进是否可以使用不同的范式来复制,其次,它是否可以扩展到口头材料。此外,单词的使用使我们能够理清ABE对感知和概念模式分离的影响。结果表明,ABE在所有情况下都能增强传统的识别记忆,而无论识别任务中涉及的过程的性质和可用的反应选项的数量如何,它都不能增强模式分离。我们的数据与言语材料的ABE在抽象、情态表征的水平上运作的观点是一致的。

期刊介绍: Consciousness and Cognition: An International Journal provides a forum for a natural-science approach to the issues of consciousness, voluntary control, and self. The journal features empirical research (in the form of regular articles and short reports) and theoretical articles. Integrative theoretical and critical literature reviews, and tutorial reviews are also published. The journal aims to be both scientifically rigorous and open to novel contributions.
