Event details
I will begin the talk with a description of the rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) paradigm that may result in attentional blink (i.e., reduced ability in detecting the second of two targets in RSVP).
I will then briefly introduce how the attention cascade model (Shih, 2008) accounts for the attentional blink and cognitive aging (Shih, 2009), highlighting the role of memory. I will explain why these may be related to understanding the relationships among aging, eye movements, and memory for objects and their locations in a scene. The main part of the talk will focus on addressing these relationships based on recently collected data.
