Dissociations and Dependencies between Speed and Accuracy: Evidence for a Two-Component Theory of Divided Attention in Simple Tasks.

Peer reviewed

Pashler, Harold – Cognitive Psychology, 1989

How the dual-task interference effects, observed when subjects attempted to simultaneously perform two simple tasks, are related to capacity limitations in perceptual processing of complex visual displays was studied. Results for a total of 110 undergraduates in 6 experiments support a 2-component theory of divided attention. (SLD)

Levels of Experienced Dimensionality in Children and Adults.

Peer reviewed

Smith, Linda B.; Kemler, Deborah G. – Cognitive Psychology, 1978

The contrast between holistic and differentiated perception of multidimensional stimuli is reconceptualized. Hypotheses about the experiential status of dimensions within holistic perception were tested as explanations of children's general perceptual mode and of adults' integral mode. Three levels of dimensional status are described. (Author/RD)
