▼ La distraction ostéogénique est une technique chirurgicale visant à reconstruire les defects osseux ou à allonger les os du corps humain. Elle met à profit la capacité du tissu osseux à se régénérer sous une stimulation mécanique appropriée. L'objectif général de ce travail est l'optimisation des moyens permettant de mettre en œuvre ce procédé en chirurgie maxillo-faciale. Plus particulièrement, il est focalisé sur le Distracteur Ostéogénique Sur mesure (DEOS) de la société OBL et les protocoles associés. Pour cela, un modèle micromécanique de guérison osseuse a été développé afin de permettre de simuler numériquement les transformations mécano-biologiques se produisant au sein du régénérat de distraction. Après son implémentation dans une routine de calcul, cette approche a été appliquée à un modèle simplifié de la distraction. Elle a ainsi pu permettre de reproduire des phénomènes encore jamais décrits numériquement et d'établir des propositions pratiques pour l'amélioration des protocoles et des dispositifs de distraction. D'autre part, la force de transport osseux lors de l'utilisation du DEOS a été étudiée. Une méthode originale de mesure de cet effort a été développée en tenant compte des spécificités de l'expérimentation en biomécanique. Une campagne d'essais a alors été menée avec la participation de deux patients bénéficiant du DEOS pour constituer une base de résultats qui a ensuite été analysée. Enfin, l'ensemble des résultats obtenus a servi à l'optimisation des caractéristiques du DEOS selon les souhaits des cliniciens et des patients. Elle a abouti à des avancées notables sur les paramètres essentiels que sont sa masse, son encombrement et sa fonctionnalité
Distraction osteogenesis is a process used to restore bone defects or to lengthen bone segments of the human body. It takes advantage of bone tissue ability to regenerate itself under an appropriate mechanical stimulation. The goal of this work is the optimisation of the ways this technique is implemented in maxillofacial surgery. A special focus has been done on the DEOS device from OBL company and on the associated protocols. In order to simulate mechanobiological changes happening in the distraction regenerate a micromechanical bone healing model was developed. After it was implemented in a computational routine, this approach was applied to a simplified bone distraction model. It allowed the numerical investigations of phenomena never simulated before. It also permitted to propose practical improvements of distraction protocols and devices. Moreover, the bone distraction force when using the DEOS was studied. An original method for the measurement of this force was set up taking into account restrictions of biomechanical tests. An experimental campaign was led with two patients benefiting from the DEOS. A database was then created and analysed. Finally, all the results obtained were used to optimise the DEOS up to clinicians and patients wishes. This has come to noticeable improvements of essential parameters as mass, size and practicality of…

▼ Distracted driving compromises safety. Distractions stem from intentional engagement in secondary tasks (voluntary) or an inability to supress non-driving related information (involuntary). This thesis aims to understand, through two driving simulator experiments, how involuntary and voluntary distraction affect drivers and individual differences in susceptibility to either type of distraction. Findings show involuntary and voluntary distraction degrade driving performance. Drivers appear more cognisant of voluntary distractions compared to involuntary distraction. They compensate for their accelerator release delays in response to lead vehicle braking by transitioning more quickly to the brake pedal under voluntary distraction, but not under involuntary distraction. Drivers self-reporting frequent distraction engagement in real-world driving glanced more frequently at the voluntary distraction task used in the experiments and drivers self-reporting greater everyday distractibility had longer glances toward involuntary distraction stimuli. Involuntary distraction engagement was not related to the manipulated environmental visual complexity nor inhibition ability measured through cognitive tasks.

▼ Medication administration error contributes to deaths and injury in hospitals, especially in the area of anaesthesia. Labelling and packaging contribute to medication error. The current study examined the role of labelling and packaging in medication error and compared medically trained and medically naive participants.
Using eye-tracking equipment, Study 1A investigated the distribution of fixations across 32 pre-existing medication labels and packages. Both groups of participants fixated less on the dose and top of medications than on the name and ‘other’ features. Both medical experience and packaging type influenced on which label areas participants fixated. Medical participants fixated on dose more than control participants; there were no other differences between groups.
In Study 1B participants viewed a target medication, they were then asked whether it was present in an array. The target was present in 50% of arrays. Distractors varied in similarity to the target. Signal detection theory analysis of discriminability through d’ revealed that medical participants were significantly better than control participants at discriminating whether or not the target was in the array. Bias analyses through C revealed that there was no difference between the biases of the two groups. Both groups of participants adopted a liberal criterion which increased the occurrence of false alarms. Across all trials, participants were most likely to select a distractor that differed only in the dose of the medication.
Divided attention can increase medication error rates, therefore Study 1C utilised the same procedure as Study 1B and added a divided attention task. During the divided attention task participants saw a string of either five or seven letters and were later asked to recall one of the letters. Both groups of participants recalled fewer letters in the seven-letter compared to five-letter condition. There was no difference in the overall performance of the two groups on the divided attention task. Both groups showed a significant reduction in discriminability under the seven- compared to five-letter divided attention condition. Medical participants had significantly higher discriminability indices than control participants. Both groups of participants adopted a liberal criterion, however control participants were more biased than medical professionals. Control participants displayed an increase in bias in the seven-letter, compared to five-letter condition; the bias of medical participants was not influenced by the divided attention task. As in Study 1B, participants were most likely to select a distractor that differed only in the dose of the medication.

Personal communication devices such as basic cell phones, enhanced cell phones (smartphones) and tablet computers provide users instant access to a wealth of electronic media such as the Internet, email, and instant texting. In hospitals the potential distraction of personal communication devices could be particularly hazardous. However, the extent of this issue is unknown. The purpose of this study was to (1) determine the frequency of personal communication device (basic cell phones, enhanced cell phones (smartphones) and tablet computers) use among hospital registered nurses, and (2) to identify the concerns and opinions among hospital registered nurses regarding personal communication device use on in-patient units. In March 2014 a previously validated 30-question survey was emailed to the 10,978 members of the Academy of Medical Surgical Nurses. There were 825 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The use of a personal communication device while working was reported by 78.1% of respondents. Sending personal emails and text messages while working was acknowledged by 38.6% of respondents. Nurses reported shopping on the Internet (9.6%), checking/posting on social networking sites (14.3%) and playing online games (6.5%) while working. Safety concerns were expressed by 87.2% who believe that personal communication devices on a nursing unit are a serious distraction and 69.5% who believe that personal communication devices in hospitals have a negative on patient care. Registered nurses reported that distraction by their personal communication device had negatively affected their performance as a nurse (7.4%), that they had witnessed another registered nurse negatively affected (70.9%); that they had missed important clinical information (4%), that they had witnessed another registered nurse miss important clinical information (29.9%), that they had made a medical error (0.8%) and had witnessed another registered nurse make a medical error (13.1%) as a result of their use of a personal communication device. This study suggests that the majority of registered nurses believe that personal communication device use on hospital units raise significant safety issues. There is a need for further study of this issue and to establish a consensus on the appropriate use of personal communication device while working in hospitals.

Introdução
A distracção osteogénica (DO) é uma técnica que consiste num procedimento cirúrgico para a reconstrução de deformidades esqueléticas e alveolares. Envolve o deslocamento gradual e controlado de fracturas provocadas cirurgicamente, seguida de uma expansão simultânea de tecido mole e volume ósseo. Esta capacidade de reconstrução, combinada de deficiências ósseas e de tecido mole, confere a este procedimento um valor assinalável para uma multiplicidade de cirurgias reconstrutivas.
Objectivo:
O objectivo desta revisão bibliográfica é avaliar a técnica de distracção alveolar vertical, os tipos de distractores e a sua aplicabilidade clínica.
Material e Métodos:
Foi efectuada uma pesquisa de artigos científicos dedicados ao tema da distracção osteogénica alveolar vertical através dos motores de busca Pub-med, Scielo-br, Lilacs e Google académico, limitando a pesquisa aos publicados em inglês e/ou português, sem limitações temporais, do tipo de estudo como ensaios clínicos, meta-análise, revisão bibliográfica e relatos de casos clínicos. Desta pesquisa resultou um total de 50 artigos, tendo sido utilizados os que faziam referência à distracção para posterior colocação de implantes.
Resultados:
A revisão da literatura efectuada indica que a DO vertical apresenta-se como uma terapia promissora e constitui uma alternativa válida para reconstruções de deficiências alveolares moderadas e severas. Com opções que variam desde distractores extra-orais a intra-orais, esta técnica cirúrgica permite a colocação de implantes dentários e uma reabilitação protética final, num ambiente em que o novo osso e o tecido mole formado são capazes de suportar cargas funcionais em condições esteticamente favoráveis.
Introduction
The Osteogenic distraction (OD) is a technique that consists in a surgical procedure for reconstruction of skeletal and alveolar disorders. It involves the gradual and controlled displacement of fractures caused by surgery, followed by a simultaneous expansion of soft tissue and bone volume. This capability, combined reconstruction of bone defects and soft tissue, makes the process unique and with remarkable value for a variety of reconstructive surgeries.
Objective:
This review evaluates the technique of vertical alveolar distraction, types of distractors and his clinical applicability.
Methods:
A survey was conducted for scientific articles devoted to the theme of vertical alveolar osteogenic distraction through search engines Pub-med, br-Scielo, Lilacs and Google academic and, limiting the search to articles published in English and / or Portuguese, with no time limitations with types of studies like clinical trials, meta-analysis, literature review and case report, we obtained a result of 50 articles, which used those who made reference to the distraction to the subsequent implant placement.
Results:
The literature review carried out indicates that the vertical OD…

▼ Anxiety is marked by impaired inhibition of
distraction (Eysenck et al., 2007). It is unclear whether these impairments are reduced or exacerbated when loading working memory (WM) with non-affective information. Cardiac vagal control has been related to emotion regulation and may serve as a proxy for load-related inhibition under anxiety (Thayer and Lane, 2009). The present study examined whether: (1) the enhancing and impairing effects of load on inhibition exist together in a nonlinear function, (2) there is a similar association between inhibition and concurrent vagal control, (3) nonlinear relations depend on trait anxiety. During anxiogenic threat-of-noise, 116 subjects maintained a digit series of varying lengths (0, 2, 4, 6 digits) while completing a visual flanker task. The task was broken into four blocks, with a baseline period preceding each. ECG was acquired throughout to quantify vagal control as high-frequency heart rate variability (HRV). There were significant quadratic relations of WM load to flanker performance and to HRV, but no associations between HRV and performance. Trait anxiety did not moderate any relations among HRV, load, and inhibition. Results indicate that low load was associated with relatively better inhibition and increased HRV. Findings suggest that attentional performance under anxiety depends on the availability of WM resources, which might be reflected by vagal control. These results have implications for treating anxiety disorders, in which emotion regulation can be optimized for attentional focus.

▼ Motor vehicle collisions are a leading cause of police officer on-duty deaths. Distracted driving is a major contributing factor in motor vehicle collisions among the general public. Within policing, fatigue associated with shift work is a well-established and pervasive problem that affects officer performance, safety, and health. Although drowsy driving among post-shift workers is a well-established risk factor, no data are available about officer injuries and deaths due to drowsy driving. To address this gap in the literature, we assessed the impact of
distraction, fatigue, and the interaction of
distraction and fatigue on officers’ driving using laboratory experiments with high fidelity simulation. In addition, we assessed the ability of a well-validated psychomotor vigilance test to assess post-shift drowsy driving risks. Experienced police patrol officers (n=80) from all four shifts of a medium-sized city's police department were tested using a within- and between-subjects design to assess the impact of
distraction and fatigue on individual officers, as well as the impact of different work shifts, on driving performance. Controlled laboratory experiments were conducted during which participants drove high-fidelity driving training simulators on two separate occasions: immediately following five consecutive 10:40-hour patrol shifts (fatigued condition) and again 72 hours after completing the last shift in a work cycle (rested condition).Generalized linear mixed effects model analyses of driving performance showed that officers’ distracted driving performance had significantly greater lane deviation (f=88.58, df=1, 308, p<0.001)—a leading indicator of collisions. This analytical framework found officers working night shifts had significantly greater lane deviation during post-shift, non-operational driving than those working day shifts (f=4.40, df=1, 150, p=0.038). The same method also showed that easy-to-measure psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) scores for reaction time predicted both lane deviation (f=31.48, df=1, 151, p<0.001) and collisions (f=14.10, df=1,151, p<0.001) during the simulated drives. We also found a significant impact of
distraction (f=14.90, df=1, 305, p<0.001), working the graves (midnight) shift (f=4.89, df=1, 305, p=0.028), and
distraction/shift interaction (f=4.81, df=1, 305, p=0.029) on the probability of a collision.This is the first experimental research to assess the impact of
distraction, fatigue, and shiftwork on police patrol driving and post-shift driving.

▼ Driver
distraction is a widespread and growing issue. Previous studies have shown that passenger conversations can be less distracting than cell phone conversations because of an increase in shared situational awareness when the conversation partner can see the driver and driving scene. Recently, Gaspar and colleagues (in press) found that providing remote conversation partners views of the driver and driving scene via a videophone could mitigate driver
distraction relative to cell phone conversations. The goal of the present project was to extend these results by examining the efficacy of videophone conversations in reducing cell phone
distraction during freeway and intersection driving for younger and older drivers. Pairs of younger and older adult drivers completed highway and intersection driving assessments in each of four conditions: driving alone without
distraction, conversing with an in-car passenger, conversing with a remote cell phone partner and conversing with a remote partner via a videophone. Although all conversations disrupted driving performance relative to driving alone, the results suggest that passenger and videophone conditions reduced
distraction relative to the cell phone. Conversational analyses suggest that the benefit for passenger and videophone conversations was due to an increase in partner situational awareness, even when the partner could only see a subset of the critical information in the driving scene. Importantly, younger and older adults showed similar benefits from videophones over cell phones. These results provide evidence for the efficacy of videophone conversations in reducing, but not eliminating, cell phone
distraction across different driving tasks and for different groups of drivers.

▼ Distracted driving is a dangerous yet prevalent practice in the United States. While drivers have been prone to
distraction since the invention of the automobile, the increased presence of portable electronic devices has provided more convenient and tempting distractions than ever before. Cell phone use while driving and texting while driving are considered more dangerous than other driver distractions such as eating, drinking, or conversing with passengers. To date, policy legislation has not been widely effective in reducing instances of driver
distraction in young adults. Therefore, researchers are attempting to identify individual level demographic and psychosocial predictors of distracted driving among young adults who are at higher risk of
distraction and associated motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

▼ Saccadic eye movements are guided by attention. Indeed, some saccade trajectory
effects serve as an index the attentional strength of visual objects in the map of
visual space used to plan a saccade. One approach to understanding saccade planning
relies on simple tasks in sparse displays (containing a single target and distractor
object) to develop neurophysiologically plausible models of saccade behavior. Under
tightly controlled conditions, saccade trajectories can be well predicted by
representing displays of objects with simple visual features and their relative
salience.
But the world in which the saccade system typically operates is not sparse, and
observer eye movements are guided by more than just salience. As such, another
approach has been to examine saccadic behavior in complex scenes and complicated
goals. Such scene context can drastically affect saccades in ways that are not well
predicted by a context-free and expectation-free representation of visual salience.
This dissertation starts to bridge this gap between these literatures by focusing on
object surfaces. Covert shifts of attention operate on representations informed not
just by stimulus salience and location-based expectations, but also by the
perceptual organization of object surfaces. Covert attention can be guided by
surface context, such that targets and distractors are processed differently as a
function of whether they are on the same or different surface. These effects are
fragile, however, and have previously only been demonstrated in relatively engaging
tasks and with strong perceptions of objecthood.
The present work tested the strength of the relationship between attention and
saccades by testing whether surface context guides orienting eye movements.
Observers made saccades to objects that could be organized with different surface
structure. In four experiments (Chapters 2 and 3) I found no evidence that the
saccade map encoded surface context. But in two experiments (Chapters 4 and 5) I
demonstrate saccade trajectories are sensitive to surface context, independently of
low or high task engagement. This demonstrates that object surface-based
representations are not necessarily fragile and can affect the oculomotor map even
for simple saccadic orienting for which the surface is task-irrelevant. This lends
evidence to the theory that the nature of the representation of vision is one of
object surfaces, and suggests that the strength of object encoding is stronger than
has been previously demonstrated.

▼ New Zealand obesity rates have reached epidemic proportions. Excessive eating not only harms individual health, but also the NZ economy; health-related costs soar with rising obesity rates. The need to understand possible mechanisms driving excessive eating behaviour is now crucial. One cognitive mechanism thought to contribute to excessive eating is an attentional bias towards food stimuli. We propose this bias would be similar to the attentional bias that is consistently shown with emotional stimuli (e.g. erotic and mutilation images). In this thesis I examined attentional biases towards food stimuli and how they relate to both state (hunger) and trait (waist circumference) factors. In Experiment 1, I investigated the existence of a food-related attentional bias and whether this bias is stronger towards high calorie food images, compared to low-calorie and non-food images (household objects). Participants were asked to fast for 2 hours (to promote self-reported hunger) before completing a
distraction task. This task has repeatedly shown an attentional bias to high arousal emotional images (erotic and mutilation scenes). On each trial, participants had to determine whether a target letter was a ‘K’ or an ‘N’, while ignoring centrally-presented distractors (high calorie, low calorie and household object images). Compared to scrambled images, all image types were similarly distracting. We found no support for the existence of an attentional bias towards food stimuli; nor did we find a significant association between the bias and either state or trait factors. Experiment 2 sought to conceptually replicate Cunningham & Egeth (2018) who found significant support for the existence of a food-related attentional bias. Participants completed a similar task. However, distractor relevance was manipulated by incorporating both central and peripheral distractors, to increase ecological validity. Additionally, participants were asked to fast for longer (4 hours) to increase self-reported hunger. Despite a significant
distraction effect (participants were more distracted on distractor present vs. distractor absent trials) and distractor-location effect (participants were more distracted by central vs. peripheral distractors), participants did not exhibit an attentional bias towards food stimuli. Furthermore, no significant associations between the bias and either state or trait factors were found. Thus, food stimuli do not appear to rapidly capture attention the way that emotional stimuli do, at least not in this task. Future research is needed to clarify the role of cognitive mechanisms in excessive eating behaviour.

▼ Limb lengthening procedures use fixation devices to extend the constantly regenerating bone and surrounding soft tissues. Automated devices have been developed that aim to provide a more gradual tissue extension, resulting in better quality of treatment for the patient. Benefits include pain reduction and probable enhanced tissue outcomes. The development of one such new smart lengthening device is described. An integrated numerical model of tissue mechanics during lengthening is presented. It represents the mechanical environment in which the devices extend. The mechanism of the automated device is also modelled using Matlab software and validation was achieved through experimental testing. Validation of the tissue model includes the design of an experimental hydraulic system with the ability to control the peak loads and relaxation over time. A simplified mechanobiological model for the longer term healing effects is proposed. Calibration of the tissue model to clinical data allows for direct comparison of the load and extension of identical tissues, one being lengthened by a traditional device, the other an automated device. This simulation can be extended to include a range of lengthening rates and frequencies of distraction alongside various patient dependent tissue properties. The models also provide the opportunity to assess the effects of iterative changes to the device parameters (such as stiffness) on its performance as well as analyse the effect that these changes have on tissue extension and loading. Use of these models to optimise the device design alongside optimisation of the extension regime can result in improved device design and consequently improved patient outcomes.

▼ Driver distraction is a serious and growing hazard to road safety. With the rapid introduction of the new information, communication, and entertainment technologies, this problem is becoming more threatening in the coming years. For instance, drivers who use mobile phones while driving are more likely to be involved in the car crash than those who do not.
However, using technologies such as mobile phones and navigation systems in a vehicle can have different personal, social, practical, and psychological advantages which outweigh the risk. Therefore, there are number of metrics and methods for evaluating in-vehicle technologies, their services, applications, and functionalities to improve and make them safer.
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate and develop a new framework which consists of a safety evaluation library and server for evaluating in-vehicle applications with safety consideration. By the use of the framework, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and third-party developers can get safety feedback from their in-vehicle applications in the real driving situation. For the safety analysis, different metrics were investigated. Due to the time restriction and based on the possible information that could be collected from an application and a vehicle, four metrics were used in the safety analysis including, total task time, number of interactions, speed, and completed task rate.
In addition, the framework was deployed and tested by two case-study applications and some interesting results were discovered. Moreover, it was found out using the safety library by third-party developers is quite easy, which is one of the most important factors in the usability area.

▼ Today, in a world of automation, the impact of
Artificial Intelligence can be seen in every aspect of our lives.
Starting from smart homes to self-driving cars everything is run
using intelligent, adaptive technologies. In this thesis, an
attempt is made to analyze the correlation between driving quality
and its impact on the use of car infotainment system and vice versa
and hence the driver distraction. Various internal and external
driving factors have been identified to understand the dependency
and seriousness of driver distraction caused due to the car
infotainment system. We have seen a number UI/UX changes, speech
recognition advancements in cars to reduce distraction. But
reducing the number of casualties on road is still a persisting
problem in hand as the cognitive load on the driver is considered
to be one of the primary reasons for distractions leading to
casualties. In this research, a pathway has been provided to move
towards building an artificially intelligent, adaptive and
interactive infotainment which is trained to behave differently by
analyzing the driving quality without the intervention of the
driver. The aim is to not only shift focus of the driver from
screen to street view, but to also change the inherent behavior of
the infotainment system based on the driving statistics at that
point in time without the need for driver
intervention.

▼ This research aims to compare how adults use handheld and widescreen digital devices to distract children during painful medical procedures. Levels of pain and distress are compared to assess the effectiveness of each device medium. The behaviors of the adults using these devices were also examined in order to determine the quality of the
distraction provided. Additionally, the observed behaviors of the adults are documented and analyzed to determine if the rates of specific action types are predictors of pain, distress, and quality of
distraction provided. The results of this work show that children reported less pain when distracted by handheld devices compared to widescreens. Although children reported less pain with handheld devices they received lower quality
distraction compared to when widescreen devices were used. Two types of actions were positively associated with higher quality
distraction: those that demonstrated the adults’ interest in the devices and those that provided support to children interacting with the devices. Adults using widescreen devices performed these two types of actions more frequently than those using handheld devices. These findings indicate that when adults use handheld devices they tend to reduce pain and distress compared to widescreens. However, widescreen devices are more likely encourage actions that are linked to higher quality
distraction. This interdependency of devices and coaching ability led to an interpretation of findings that presents a new theory called mediPLAYtion. MediPLAYtion recommends specific actions that promote cooperative engagement using digital devices for reducing pain during medical procedures.

▼ Self-regulation is the ability of a child to control emotion, cognition, and social behavior. This study examined self-
distraction as a form of self-regulation. Eighty-five 4-year-olds and their mothers participated in this study. The purpose of the study was to explore preschoolers’ self-
distraction, including attentional and behavioral, in two waiting contexts (mother absent vs. mother present). This study also explored the association of different maternal regulation strategies with preschoolers’ self-
distraction and investigated individual child characteristics such as sex, age, temperament, and language ability in relation to preschoolers’ use of self-
distraction. Results revealed that male and female preschoolers differed in the duration of their use of regulatory strategies. Preschoolers’ use of self-
distraction was context-dependent; they performed attentional
distraction more frequently, longer, and quicker in their mother’s absence and performed behavioral
distraction more frequently, longer, and quicker in their mother’s presence. Maternal insufficient regulation and ignore was the strongest predictor of reduced duration of child attentional
distraction. Children’s characteristics, in general, were not related to their use of self-
distraction. Implications and directions for future studies are discussed.

▼ This thesis contains six studies investigating the impact of advanced in-vehicle information systems on the visual demands of the driver. The experiments, while self-contained were conceived to relate together in a cohesive manner. The first study investigated the reliability of visual behaviour assessment. Video tape records from experimental trials were analysed post-hoc. Significant test/retest correlations were obtained. Experiment two considered the visual demands of the driving task without intervention from new technologies. Results from road trials using an instrumented vehicle suggested changes in the subject's visual scanning which could be related to the roadway environment (i.e., rural, urban and motorway driving). In experiment three the effects of the introduction of a driver information system were assessed using a congestion warning device on public roads. System use resulted in significantly greater: subjective mental workload, glance duration and frequency, and percentage time (eyes) away from the forward view; than the in-car entertainment system, or the control (normal driving). Experiment four replicated experiment three in a fixed base driving simulator. It aimed to establish the value of the simulator for the assessment of driver visual demand. The same significant differences presented in the road trial were observed in the simulation study. In the penultimate study, opportunities for the reduction of driver visual demand were investigated. The subjects were presented with: visual, auditory or visual and auditory route guidance information. Results suggest use of auditory information to supplement visual displays significantly reduces visual demand on the driver. The final study considered the effect of information availability on the distribution of visual scanning. Driver control of in-vehicle information presentation enabled self-determination of visual scanning strategies. Information system control of information presentation was found to disrupt the driver's visual checking. The interface design was shown to force the driver to adopt different visual scanning strategies. The contribution of the experimental work to the assessment of driver visual demand is discussed and the relationships between the experiments explored.

▼ Frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) asymmetry is a reliable marker of psychopathology vulnerability, yet the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. There is accumulating evidence that frontal asymmetry reflects individual differences in ability to use cognitive control to regulate emotional processing. This thesis provides the first test of the asymmetric inhibition model (Grimshaw & Carmel, 2014), which holds that frontal asymmetry reflects ability to engage valence-specific inhibitory control mechanisms supported by dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC): left dlPFC inhibits negative distractors and right dlPFC inhibits positive distractors. Frontal asymmetry was tested as a predictor of ability to inhibit distracting emotional images. Frontal asymmetry was measured at rest and during emotional challenge, which is argued to provide a more powerful measure of individual differences (capability model; Coan, Allen, & McKnight, 2006). Emotional challenge was induced using a stressful serial subtraction task, verified to be effective in Study 1, followed by a silent speech preparation task, during which EEG was recorded. An irrelevant distractor paradigm measured ability to inhibit emotional
distraction; participants identified a target letter within a central symbol array while attempting to inhibit positive, negative and neutral peripheral images (Study 2). Overall, positive and negative images were more distracting than neutral images. Critically, neither resting nor emotional challenge frontal asymmetry predicted
distraction by positive, negative or neutral images, suggesting that frontal asymmetry does not reflect ability to inhibit irrelevant emotional distractors. Thus, the asymmetric inhibition model was not supported. This thesis provides the first direct test of the relationship between frontal EEG asymmetry and inhibitory control of emotion, paving the way for future explorations into this relationship. These findings add to a growing literature attempting to elucidate the cognitive mechanisms underlying frontal asymmetry in order to better understand the etiology of psychopathology.

▼ Irrelevant sound is detrimental to performance on serial order recall for both adults and children. Many current models of the effects of irrelevant sound on serial order recall propose that the irrelevant sound interferes with rehearsal in adults. However a direct test of rehearsal on the irrelevant sound effect (ISE) had not been examined prior to the present study. Furthermore, the cause of the ISE in children remains unclear as children are less proficient at rehearsal, yet typically show larger effects. We examined how certain factors hypothesized to relate to the size of the ISE correlate to performance in both adults and children in order to investigate the underlying mechanisms causing the effect in the two populations. Results indicated that in adults, while rehearsal does significantly predict the size of the ISE, the size of the relationship is weak. In children, the relationship between rehearsal and the size of the ISE appears stronger, however further analysis leads to the conclusion that attention capture may be playing a unique role in causing the ISE in children despite being shown not to play a role in adults. The present study demonstrates the need for further investigation not only into the cause of the ISE, but also into developmental differences in auditory distraction.

Attention to distraction : a visual investigation of temporal experience through time-based media.

▼ This project has explored the relationship between the moving image and temporal experience. Acknowledging the constructed temporality of narrative cinema, in conjunction with what Peter Osborne has described as distracted perception, I have examined the potential for the moving image to direct attention to the here-and-now. What began as an attempt to provide an antidote to the condition of distraction through contemplative immersion evolved as a reflection on the temporal dialectic of contemporary experience.
The project’s concern with temporal experience is based on my response to working with narrative forms of the moving image in a commercial context. Drawing on anti-illusionist strategies of the film-artists of the 1960s as well as representational aspects of commercial production has resulted in work that embodies the inherent tension between these conditions of spectatorship, simultaneously heightening and dissolving temporal perception.
The visual context for the project is defined by the work of contemporary artists who also deal with the potential for the moving image to both absorb and distance viewers. This has been explored through a selection of specific works by Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Chantal Akerman, Christian Marclay, Douglas Gordon, Tacita Dean, Daniel Crooks and David Claerbout. These works challenge viewing habits and expectation through strategies of duration, re-contextualisation and re-examining the configuration of normative cinema.
In developing a theoretical understanding of the relationship between temporal experience and conditions of spectatorship, the project has been informed by Walter Benjamin, Tom Gunning and Sean Cubitt, writing on the relationship between narrative and non-narrative forms of cinema. These concepts have been further developed through Michael Fried’s theory of absorption and theatricality and Peter Osborne’s writing on attention and distraction. A philosophical understanding of temporal experience has been explored through the existentialist thought of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus.
The work developed as a combination of gallery-based and site-specific artworks that include single channel projections, multichannel installation, panoramic photography, live-feed cinema/installation and augmented reality. This broad, experimental approach is the result of exploring the moving image beyond the confines of linear cinematic structures. These diverse outcomes have been refined in the context of the Plimsoll Gallery for the submission exhibition.
By developing strategies that examine the relationship between time and the moving image the project has concluded that to offer a contemporary experience of the here-and-now, the work must fluctuate between states of immersion and awareness; between attention and distraction. Here, the inherent tension activated by the intersection of these temporal states directs audience attention toward the potential of a moment.

▼ Cognitive distractions related to sexual arousal in males have been studied over the years, but not only until recently has the female sex been involved in studies revolving around the topic of sexuality. There is research related to men that state two main cognitive distractions: body image and sexual performance. Barlow (1985) conducted a study which showed that cognitive distractions lowered sexual arousal in males. Unfortunately, his study was not conducted on females. The purpose of this study is to understand how cognitive distractions can affect female sexual arousal. I propose that by looking into how these cognitive distractions affect sexual arousal in women, it could help to expand the knowledge and mental health services for women. This literature review will examine current literature to investigate female cognitive distractions in order to answer the question: If a woman has negative cognitive distractions, will it affect sexual arousal?

▼ Research has demonstrated that attention is a central
component of emotion regulation (Gross, 2015). The current study
examined the impact of attention control strategies (i.e.,
mindfulness, worry, and
distraction) on emotional responses. Eighty
male and female (ages 18-28) undergraduate students from a small
Midwestern university participated in the study. Participants
viewed a series of standardized emotion-evoking slides and rated
their emotional responses before and after undergoing an
experimental mood induction. Participants were also given the
opportunity to participate in a behavioral engagement task. Results
indicated there were no statistically significant differences
between the groups’ emotional responses to the slides. Nonetheless,
participants in the mindfulness group were more willing to
voluntarily view emotionally distressing slides than participants
in the worry and unfocused attention groups. The findings provide
modest support for the assertion that mindfulness is an adaptive
attentional control strategy.

▼ Previous studies have shown positive results on the use of music as postoperative pain relief. Quantitative studies have examined the effect of music on rated pain and otherparameters such as anxiety, relaxation and blood-pressure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expectations and experiences of patients and nurses onimplementing music as postoperative pain relief in an orthopedic unit Qualitative design and semi-structured interviews were used to examine expectations and experiences. Five patients and five nurses in the unit were interviewed. Four themes developed during the data-analysis. These themes were “Expectations on music as postoperative pain relief”, “Experiences of music as postoperative pain relief”,“Effects of music as postoperative pain relief” and “Continued implementation of musicas postoperative pain relief”. A general theme was distraction. Both patients and nurses described the distracting ability of music. Music distracted the patients from both painand the unfamiliar environment and provided relaxation. According to the results of this study there is a connection between the distracting effect of the music and pain relief. More research needs to be done to examine how musicaffects the human body and mind.

▼ Research has conclusively shown that cell phones have a detrimental effect on driving performance. In an attempt to understand why, a handful of researchers have investigated the differences between cell phone and passenger conversations, with several of these studies revealing that the
distraction caused by concurrent cell phone conversations noticeably outweighs that imposed by passenger conversations. One study suggested that the availability of visual cues during a passenger conversation may be an important factor contributing to this reduced level of
distraction. The focus of this research project was to test whether providing drivers and remote conversers with access to visual cues via a videophone would result in improved driving performance when compared to a concurrent cell phone conversation. An initial experiment, in which 24 drivers encountered five hazards on a simulated road while conversing with a passenger, cell phone caller, videophone caller, or driving without conversation, resulted in driving behaviour that did not appear to be an accurate representation of real-world driving behaviour, which resulted in the early termination of this experiment. A second revised experiment, in which novice and practiced drivers drove a shortened version of the simulated road once under each of the aforementioned conversation conditions, produced more normal behaviour but failed to reveal any significant differences in driving or conversation performance as a result of concurrent videophone conversation compared to cell phone conversation. However, the results did reveal a number of other findings that may aid in understanding the distracting effects of cell phones, one of which was that remote conversations may result in an overestimation or underestimation of the correct driving response depending on the nature of the driving situation.

▼ Two experiments were carried out in order to see if higher rates of responding during training result in higher stability of accuracy in the face of
distraction. In the first experiment hens were exposed to a repeated acquisition procedure where they were taught to peck a number of 3 key combination response sequences (chains). In the first condition hens had the opportunity respond at any rate, in the second condition delays between each correct response were used to reduce response rate. Each session was made up of two periods. During the first period (training), hens learnt to complete chains. The second period was a test period where a stroboscope was used to distract behaviour. Accuracy during each condition and period was measured. The number of trials and rate of reinforcement were held constant. This procedure was repeated in a second experiment in order to test if habituation to the stroboscope was occurring. During both experiments the stroboscope was found to distract behaviour during the test period. During training, accuracy was higher for the no-delay condition than the delay condition. There were no large differences in accuracy between the no-delays condition and the delays condition during the test period, this was the same for both experiments. The second experiment showed that repeated presentation of the stroboscope resulted in higher accuracy meaning that habituation had occurred. The findings showed that when rate of reinforcement and number of practices were controlled, rate of responding alone during training did not change the stability of accuracy during
distraction which was unexpected.

▼ This study examined the changes that occur in spontaneous speech when speakers are distracted by background audio. Forty young adults answered open ended questions under five audio conditions (pink noise, movie dialogue, heated debate, classical music, and contemporary music) and a silent condition. Acoustic parameters assessed during the sessions included mean and variability of the fundamental frequency (F0), mean and variability of intensity, speaking time ratio, and disfluency ratio. It was hypothesized that there would be significant increases in the mean and variability of F0 as well as the mean and variability of intensity. There were statistically significant increases in mean and variability of intensity and mean F0 across most audio conditions. There were no significant changes in variability of intensity in the pink noise condition and no significant changes in variability of F0 in any audio condition. We hypothesized that the speaking time ratio would decrease in the presence of background audio compared to the silent baseline. Results demonstrate significant increases in speaking time ratio except for the classical music condition. It was expected that the disfluency ratio of speech production for each participant would increase in the presence of background audio, with informational masking demonstrating the most increase. Results revealed a significant increase in disfluency ratios across background audio conditions except for the pink noise and classical music conditions. Participants reported the heated debate and contemporary music to be the most distracting. These results have potential clinical implications regarding the type of environment where therapy is given, and what type of everyday situations might cause the most difficulties with fluency as well as the processing and production of speech.

▼ This study draws from a series of qualitative interviews and take-home diaries conducted with groups of home film and television audiences to examine everyday practices of media attention and
distraction. Often taken as clear and separate experiential states, attentiveness and distractedness are actually social categories with leaky boundaries and definitions. Together, they suggest logics from which audiences draw when they justify combining or not combining movies and television with other aspects of their daily routines (including mobile phone use, cooking, sleeping, working, and so on). Interviewing groups of cinephiles, television binge- watchers, and parents of small children, I detail how people try to attend and not attend to aspects of media texts in order to see themselves as “attentive” or “distracted” in particular contexts. I argue that these practices reveal some of the boundary work of everyday life itself— as a domain of accidents and unpredictability, as a sense of certainty and stability, as a series of managed time and work/leisure boundaries, and as a site for suspicion toward media influences. Within cinema and media studies, arguments about screen attention and
distraction have been central to claims about medium specificity, genre and textuality, fandom, screen influence, and the organization of home life. By focusing on everyday knowledges about media engagement, my study both augments and complicates these assumptions about what it means to “watch” a media text, reflecting the (at once) anxiety, pleasure, impulsiveness, and indifference in how people may treat watching as a part of life to manage or cultivate. Ultimately, attending to issues of attention suggests the ongoing interrelationships involved in negotiating screenic versus non-screenic areas of life.

▼ Recent experiments have cast considerable doubt upon the ability of color singletons to capture spatial attention in a stimulus-driven manner. Despite the lack of evidence for it in the laboratory, there are many anecdotal reports of stimulus-driven capture in real-world settings. Perhaps a critical difference between laboratory and real-world visual scenes is the amount of relevant information, or perceptual load. Scenes with low perceptual load (as when one is focused on a single visual object) might free attentional resources, allowing them to be more easily captured by color singletons. To test this hypothesis, we manipulated perceptual load in a visual search task with irrelevant flanking letters that were sometimes color singletons. If reduced perceptual load increases susceptibility to capture by color singletons, then the presence of a color singleton should slow responses and increase flanker-target compatibility effects. Contrary to this prediction, we found no evidence of capture under high or low perceptual load.

▼ Driver
distraction is a significant risk factor for traffic crashes.
Distraction from secondary tasks has been the basis of much research and legislation. However, the influence of cognitive
distraction, or mind wandering (Smallwood & Schooler, 2006), on driver performance has not been as closely studied. The current study used a self-report method to capture the moment-to-moment off-task thoughts, and investigated the influence of mind wandering on behavior and performance in a simulated driving task. Participants performed a car-following task in a simulated low-traffic driving environment, and were asked to press a button mounted on the steering wheel any time they found themselves ???zoning out???. Driving performance metrics and oculomotor scanning data were analyzed to compare driving behaviors and performance under attentive versus inattentive mental states. The results showed that mind wandering caused horizontal narrowing of drivers' visual scanning, shifts of lane position, and a decrease in the variability of vehicle velocity. Mind wandering influences driver performance in a way similar to
distraction from secondary tasks (e.g., Recarte & Nunes, 2000, 2003).

▼ Aging is marked by a decline in the specificity of
activation in brain areas that, in younger adults, serve
specialized discrete cognitive functions. In this study, we
examined whether emotion regulation strategies also become
differentiated in the aging brain. In younger adults,
stimulus-focused emotion regulation has been shown to activate
lateral regions of cortex, while self-referential processes recruit
a series of medial brain structures (Ochsner et al., 2004). Based
on these differences in younger adults, we investigated the neural
differentiation of reappraisal (stimulus-focused) and
distraction
(self-focused) emotion regulation strategies for younger and older
adults using Multi-Voxel Pattern Analyses (MVPA). Both age groups
showed different patterns of activity for the two emotion
regulation strategies in posterior regions, but only younger adults
showed significant discrimination in frontal regions. MVPA
differentiated the two strategies more accurately for younger
adults than older adults across the majority of cortex, but the
largest age-related differences were seen in the posterior medial
cortex (PMC- precuneus and pCC) and lateral occipital/superior
parietal cortex. Univariate analyses revealed equal recruitment of
the PMC across strategies for older adults, but greater activity
during
distraction than reappraisal for younger adults. The PMC
plays a key role in the default mode network, and its involvement
during tasks increases with age. Our findings suggest that these
age differences in the PMC extend to the differentiation of
processing across different strategy contexts during emotion
regulation for older adults.
