▼ Mindfulness, a set of techniques for engaging with stimuli in the present-moment environment, has recently received considerable attention in the literature. Mindfulness is drawn from Eastern, Buddhist traditions and has been integrated into contemporary psychology, in part, as a technique for improving the ability to respond skillfully to emotionally distressing stimuli and processes (Bishop, et al., 2004). However, the boundaries of the mindfulness construct have yet to be solidly established; a variety of definitions exist and are used inconsistently in the literature. Clarifying how engaging attentional control processes in response to emotionally-charged stimuli, such as sad faces, relates to precisely-articulated models of mindfulness could constitute a useful first step toward better understanding the construct of mindfulness. One widely-referenced, viable model of mindfulness, developed by Bishop and colleagues (2004) suggests that mindfulness is composed of two components: attention and acceptance. It is unclear whether and how these proposed components of mindfulness relate to individual variations in behavior patterns on measures of attention bias for sad stimuli. The current study, therefore, aims to examine associations among two components of mindfulness (Bishop, et al., 2004) and performance on a widely-used measure that elicits attention bias for emotional cues. It was hypothesized that scores on self-reported measures of attention and acceptance components of mindfulness would show negative and moderate associations with attention bias for sad faces and positive and moderate associations with attention bias for happy faces, indexed both by bias scores based on reaction times and patterns of visual gaze toward sad and happy faces. One hundred twenty-three college students were asked to complete demographic measures, the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (PHLMS), and the dot-probe attention bias paradigm (which yielded both behavioral and eye movement measures). Complete behavioral attention bias data were acquired for 104 participants and complete eye tracking data were acquired for 88 participants. Results suggest no significant relationships of either component of mindfulness with either measure of attention bias to emotional stimuli. The discussion explores factors that may have contributed to the outcome and ideas for future research that might further clarify mindfulness. Advisors/Committee Members: Erin B. Tone, PhD, Robert D. Latzman, PhD, Akihiko Masuda, PhD, David A. Washburn, PhD.

▼ A study was designed to assess the impact that speech disfluencies such as ‘uh’ and ‘um’ have on sentence comprehension and reference resolution. From a review of the results and shortfalls of Arnold et al’s current research on the topic an eye tracking study was devised to determine whether in the presence of disfluency listeners predict discourse new and difficult to name objects, or whether they predict not to hear discourse given or easy to name objects. Participants listened to recorded pairs of statements and viewed visual displays showing images that relate to the statements. An eye tracker was used to record the proportion of fixations directed towards the object representing the conclusion of the statement (payoff object), the competitor object (another likely conclusion to the statement and shared phonetic onset with the statement’s actual conclusion) and the distracter objects (objects which were not logical conclusions to the statement but shared phonetic onset with the two logical conclusions). It was hypothesized that if the proposed dis-expectancy account were correct then the listener would look to the competitor objects and the distracter objects when disfluency is present. If Arnold’s expectancy account were correct then only the competitor objects would receive a significant proportion of fixations. Statistical analysis of the results confirmed our hypothesis that in the presence of disfluency the listener looks to everything except the discourse given or easy to name object with a significant main effect for fluency at 250ms before to 250ms after disfluency onset (F(1,23) = 9.016, p < .01), (F(1,23) = 5.830, p < .05), (F(1,23) = 5.339, p < .05) and an overall significant interaction between experimental condition and time slice (F(33, 759) = 1.556, p < .05). Significant main effects for condition and interactions between condition and time slice were found for the payoff objects (F(3, 69) = 12.385, p < .001), (F(33, 759) = 13.784, p < .001) and for the distracter objects (F(3, 69) = 8.275, p < .001), (F(33, 759) = 13.238, p < .001). The results give strong support for our dis-expectancy account where upon encountering a disfluency the listener ‘un-predicts’ given or easy to name object and looks to everything else, in this case the competitor and the distracter objects.

▼ Everyday speech is littered with disfluencies like filled pauses (e.g. ‘er’, ‘um’), silent pauses, repetitions or repairs. Experimental evidence indicates that even though listeners may not consciously perceive disfluencies (Lickley, 1995), they affect comprehension, both in the short and in the long term (e.g. Collard, 2009; Corley, 2010; Corley, MacGregor & Donaldson, 2007; Fox Tree, 2001). The present study aimed to explore the effects of three different types of hesitations (‘er’, ‘like’, silent pauses) on listener’s representation of the word following a hesitation using a change-detection paradigm. Participants listened to 12-20 second long passages of uttered speech, some of which contained a single hesitation in front of a critical content word. After a 500 millisecond interval they were presented with a text version of the same passage, which was either unchanged or it contained a change of the critical word to a frequency-matched semantically similar word (e.g. Graveyard changed to Cemetery). The participants were then asked to judge whether a change had occurred or not. Using counterbalanced within-subjects designs, we found that disfluencies caused people to be more likely to report changes. Consistent with numerous studies that I review which have shown that disfluencies affect processing and cause better memory for the post-disfluent word (e.g. Collard et al., 2008; Fox Tree, 2001; MacGregor, 2008), it is fair to assume that the observed disfluency effect was caused by changes in processing of the post-disfluent word due to changes in attention. Furthermore, the disfluency effect was found in all three experiments. When comparing change-detection likelihood across the three experiments, no effect of disfluency type was found, suggesting that there are no significant differences between the types of hesitations in how they affect listener’s likelihood of reporting changes. The presented findings are discussed with regard to the roles of attention and prediction in language processing. Advisors/Committee Members: Corley, Martin.

The way we perceive complex visual scenes has been an area of much research and debate. Many studies have found that the context of a scene is used to guide attention to important and relevant areas of a scene. Other studies, however, have found that objects that are incongruent with the scene context capture attention. These contradictory findings have been found both within and across tasks. The purpose of the present research was to reconcile these contradictory results. Two processes were identified as underlying complex scene perception: object detection and object identification. Further, the current research demonstrates the relative weighting of these processes differs according to task demands; some tasks weight object detection more heavily, whereas other tasks weight object identification more heavily. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the weighting of these processes can be manipulated within a task in such a way as to produce either congruency benefits or costs. Finally, in circumstances in which processing is weighted in favour of object detection, it was demonstrated that eye gaze, and presumably overt attention, is captured by semantically incongruent objects early into scene perception. The current research helps our understanding of complex scene perception by reconciling contradictory findings reported in previous studies. In particular, two processes were identified: object identification, which relies on a congruent context, and object detection, which relies on an incongruent context. In this way, past experience may promote efficient scene perception by promoting the use of regularities in the environment (e.g., congruent context), but also leaving the attention system sensitive to areas of the scene that contradict the expectations set by the context (e.g., incongruent objects).

Thesis

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The way that we perceive and create mental representations of our visual world has been an area of debate in cognitive psychology. The research attempting to address these issues has reported contradictory findings. For example, some studies have shown that the context of a scene is important for efficient perception of that scene and its parts. Other studies, however, have shown that the context of a scene can undermine efficient perception of scenes. The current research identifies two distinct processes that underlie complex scene perception. One process appears to benefit from a congruent context, whereas the other appears to benefit from an incongruent context. Further, the weighting of these two processes can produce context congruency benefits in some experimental situations and congruency costs in others. Finally, it appears as though when processing is weighted towards congruency costs, attention is attracted to incongruent objects early into scene processing.

▼ This dissertation is focused on a particular event at the heart of educational inquiry: the composition of attention — its catalogue of shapes and movements, and the manner in which it gathers and disperses. There are two major foci for my project: The first part, The Composition of Attention, is a historical survey that seeks to identify the circumstances comprising the Copernican revolution, what is arguably the most significant instance of inquiry in human history. This extraordinary set of events put in question not only the structure of the universe, but also the structure of inquiry. There were a host of methodological considerations at stake, not simply a set of new astronomical facts. Given the fact that this movement from a geocentric orientation to a heliocentric one has been subject caricature, distortion, and omission, my study seeks to trace how these unfortunate themes have, not only permeated the inception of compulsory education, but how many have come to remain permanent features, however implicit. The second focus, The Attention of Composition, explores the constituent elements of attention in their capacity to organize the scene of inquiry, be it a semester long research project, a writing assignment bound by the scope of one class period, or even more pedestrian moments of perception: i.e., the thought-feelings that occur while descending the stairs to exit the apartment. In each of these scenes the components of attention are activated, and as such can alert one to the particular habits of attention operative in other educational events. Although there has been a substantial increase in, shall we say, our attention to attention, given the difficulties of student achievement across a variety of contexts, there exists little consideration of it in the moments of its emergence, and under the auspices of language. This project designates five elements in the structure of inquiry—subject, language, object, aim, and method—that are studied according to four respective disciplines. Each discipline, or type of attention, addresses a pair of elements: Pedagogy – method and aim; Economy – aim and object; Poetics – object and language; Psychoanalysis – language and subject. The doubling of these elements for each style of attention is reflective of the Keplerian revelation of the function of planetary orbits.

▼ The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the posterior parietal cortex are parts of the cortical network involved in attention, working-memory and executive function. The two areas share a number of similarities, although functional differences between the two have also been identified. A widely believed functional difference posits that the posterior parietal cortex plays a critical role in orienting bottom-up attention, whereas the prefrontal cortex is responsible for shifting attention based on top-down factors. To test this idea, we trained monkeys with bottom-up visual attention tasks and recorded neural activity from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and areas LIP and 7a of the posterior parietal cortex, including in simultaneous recordings. The average time of salient target discrimination in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex appeared no later than the posterior parietal areas although the initial visual response latencies were earlier in the posterior parietal cortex than in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Contrary to established theories, the results suggest that the prefrontal cortex computes salient stimuli in parallel with the posterior parietal cortex and contributes to the guidance of bottom-up visual attention. Despite this similarity in function in the context of attention, differences between the prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex have been reported and replicated in the context of working-memory tasks. In order to understand further how the intrinsic organization of those two areas accounts for their functional properties, we examined the strength of intrinsic functional connectivity between neurons sampled in each area during working-memory tasks. We found that functional connections were more localized over short distances in the posterior parietal cortex and more widespread in the prefrontal cortex. Our results shed light on the functional organization between the prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex and provide mechanistic accounts for the functional roles of the two areas.

▼ Top-down influences such as expectation and attention may powerfully modulate both sensory experience and related processing in the brain. In pain, top-down information such as expectations of lower pain or placebo treatments significantly reduces both subjective reports of experienced pain and pain-related brain activity. On another hand, top-down influences may be relevant to the development and maintenance of chronic pain states. In many instances, this top-down modulation is initiated by environmental cues. However, the exact sequence and specificity of events by which an environmental cue is transformed into neural activity that modulates sensory processing remains poorly understood. In this work we: a) explore commonalities and differences in neural processing of cues coming from different sensory modalities, b) identify the neural substrates of spatial and intensity top-down attention in nociception, and c) explore the effects of top-down attention on the activity in relationship to stimulus processing areas both before and during stimulus presentation. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to assess brain activations and deactivations during and following presentation of different types of cues to human subjects. We found that processing related to cue meaning extraction and implementation is independent of the sensory modality of the cue. Superior parietal lobule/precuneus, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and cerebellum were implicated in these processes. In addition, attention to spatial and intensity features of pain activated intraparietal sulcus and frontal eye fields. These areas likely activated brain areas that were relevant to impending processing (primary somatosensory cortex, dorsal and ventral information streams) and deactivated brain areas that were irrelevant to such processing (the default mode network) in turn. Together, these studies contribute to a better understanding of how external cues are transformed into top-down directives in pain. It is likely that the mechanisms described in the present work are not limited to nociceptive processing alone but also extend into other sensory domains.

▼ This dissertation investigates how cognitive control influences subliminal semantic processing. Unlike the traditional view that unconscious processing is stereotypical and independent of cognitive control, recent evidence shows that unconscious processing can be elaborate and flexible. Subliminal processing can occur at a semantic level and be modulated by top-down attention. On this basis, the temporal attention window theory and global workspace theory are proposed to explain the interaction between cognitive control and subliminal processing, arguing that the top-down attention is necessary for elaborate subliminal processing. However, the reported absence of priming in near absence of attention could be attributed to the insufficient sensitivity of the response time measure. To clarify the role of top-down attention in subliminal semantic processing, five experiments were conducted to assess semantic priming with a cursor motion method and investigate the role of top-down attention in elaborate subliminal processing. These experiments demonstrated that semantic priming could be reliably assessed by cursor motion measures such as the area under the curve (AUC). By directly comparing the AUC measure with the conventional response time measure (RT), larger priming effects were found for the AUC data than the RT data, suggesting that the AUC was more sensitive than the RT to semantic priming. Also, by applying the cursor motion method to numeric comparison tasks, the necessity of attention in subliminal semantic processing was examined. Results showed that top-down attention helped subliminal semantic processing, but semantic priming was still significant in near absence of attention. In addition, the influence of cue colors on semantic priming was examined; results indicated that priming effects elicited by cue colors were limited. Furthermore, the stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA) was manipulated to investigate the time course of top-down attention and subliminal semantic processing. It was found that top-down attention extended the lifespan and amplified the magnitude of subliminal semantic processing, suggesting that the temporal attention window lasts for more than 1000ms. Taken together, it can be concluded that assistance from top-down attention prolongs and magnifies semantic priming yet may not be necessary for elaborate subliminal processing.

▼ Anxiety problems are associated with a disturbed pattern of attention in which threat stimuli attract immediate hypervigilance followed by strategic avoidance. The nature of the interplay between hypervigilance and avoidance, and how this interplay affects emotional reactivity, however remains unclear. Five studies addressed this issue by experimentally inducing and manipulating a hypervigilant-avoidant gaze style in response to aversely conditioned faces (CS+).Experiment 1 showed that anxious participants exposed to the conditioning procedure displayed differential trend of skin conductance reactivity (GSR) and temporal sequencing of hypervigilance and avoidance bias to the eyes of conditioned versus unconditioned faces, relative to nonanxious participants.Experiment 2 found that retraining anxious participants to process the eyes of CS+ using featural sampling of the critical stimuli had no effect on the interplay between hypervigilance and avoidance to threat, nor on GSR to CS+.Experiment 3 found that retraining anxious participants to reappraise the emotional significance of the previously avoided stimuli determined a reduction in hypervigilance to the eyes of CS+, and reductions in GSR.Experiment 4 revealed that reappraisal manipulations affected cyclical hypervigilance-avoidance to the eyes of CS+ and GSR, even though gaze deployment to the stimuli was disrupted immediately after initial saccades towards the stimuli were initiated.Experiment 5 revealed that anxious participants trained to reorient gaze during early saccadic movements but impeded to make use of any useful controlled coping strategy at later stages of attentional processing did not reverse the hypervigilant-avoidant pattern of attentional biases and the SCR in response to the CS+. Overall, the results suggest that cyclical hypervigilance-avoidance in anxiety may be due to a failure to effortfully appraise the emotionally significant aspects of the fear material. Attentional training that focuses on reappraisal of these aspects is influential in reversing the hypervigilant-avoidant pattern of attentional biases and the exaggerated emotional response to the threat. Additionally, the results suggest that attentional deployment is not the key factor by which attentional training affects fear processing and emotion vulnerability. Finally, the results show that maladaptive processing of fear stimuli, despite sometime considered automatic, needs to include some sort of evaluative processing in order to impact on patterns of attentional bias, presumably because biased attention is driven by an interpretative-evaluative component that acts in regard of one’s goals and motivational states.

▼ The present experiment was conducted to discover if, within prescribed limits, the Woodworth and Wells Numbers Cancellation Test would measure distraction effects, age differences and sex differences. The procedure involved the administration of the test to four age groups of subjects. These age groups were nine, twelve, fifteen and eighteen-year-olds. The subjects were selected from public schools and junior and senior high schools in the Vancouver area. The total number of subjects involved was 361 grouped as follows: nine-year-olds— 85, twelve-year-olds—86, fifteen-year-olds—95, and eighteen-year-olds—95. The subjects, tested in small groups, were given a practice trial, immediately followed by a trial with traffic sounds and then a trial with music sounds, and finally, a trial in silence. This last trial was used as the control. A different numeral to be cancelled was used for each trial and these designated numerals were rotated for the sub-groups within each age group. The use of different numerals and their rotation was made to eliminate practice effects and positional habits as far as possible. The analysis of the data revealed age and sex differences while no distraction effects were apparent. Factors affecting the results may have been weakness of the distracting stimuli, habituation of the distractors, increased effort, or possibly the brevity of the test (two minutes). Earlier maturity of hand-eye co-ordination and reaction time in girls seems to account for the sex differences found. Age differences may be accounted for by greater familiarity with the material and test situations, and reduction in reaction time for the older subjects. The findings of this experiment may be summarized as follows: 1. The auditory distractions used had no statistically significant effects on the Woodworth and Wells Numbers Cancellation Test. 8. Performance on the Woodworth and Wells Numbers Cancellation Test consistently increased with age. 3. The performance of girls on the Woodworth and Wells Numbers Cancellation Test tended to be superior to that of boys. 4. The percentage error was inversely proportional to age for boys and girls on the Woodworth and Wells Numbers Cancellation Test. As a result of this experiment a number of problems for further research have been suggested.
