Deals with selective attention phenomena and elaborates on a stimulus material classification, "stimulus set" versus "response set", proposed by Broadbent (1970, 1971).

Discusses the rationale behind the "before-after" experimental paradigm used by Keren (1976) in his Experiment I (AA 525 466). (Editor/RK)

Four experiments tested the conditioned attention theory (CAT) of latent inhibition (LI). (Author/RK)

Predictions of two-stage learning theories were evaluated by measuring observing responses which produced the discriminative stimuli for .5 sec. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study is to test an explanation for the actor-observer phenomenon which is derived from a focus of attention-causal attribution notion. (Author)

The central question in these experiments concerns the effect of unattended printed words upon a picture-naming task to determine whether print can be read even when it is not being attended to. (Author/RK)

A dual-task paradigm was used to assess attentional processing demands during visual word recognition. By manipulating the difficulty of each task, it is argued that the procedure estimates the attention demands of the memory-access component of word recognition. (Editor)

Several recent theories of information processing share the common assumption that retrieval from long-term memory is governed by the operation of two distinct processes, e.g., Posner and Snyder (1975). Examines their research through two components of attention: a fast automatic inhibitionless spreading-activation process and a slow…

Reading reaction time (RT) to visual stimuli was shown to vary according to the nature of simultaneous auditory stimuli. A two-stage model was proposed to explain the results in which parallel processing of simultaneous input occurs prior to a decision-making stage. (Editor)
