Kelly, Ashleigh J.; Dux, Paul E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
To study the temporal dynamics and capacity-limits of attentional selection and encoding, researchers often employ the attentional blink (AB) phenomenon: subjects' impaired ability to report the second of two targets in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) stream that appear within 200-500 ms of one another. The AB has now been the subject of…

Richards, Debbie; Fassbender, Eric; Bilgin, Ayse; Thompson, William Forde – ALT-J: Research in Learning Technology, 2008
Empirical evidence is needed to corroborate the intuitions of gamers and game developers in understanding the benefits of Immersive Virtual Worlds (IVWs) as a learning environment and the role that music plays within these environments. We report an investigation to determine if background music of the genre typically found in computer-based…
