The spatial precue effect for foveal detection/recognition tasks

Article Abstract:

Forty college students participated in a spatial precue task where foveally delivered stimuli and precues were used. The spatial precue task examined the influence of the precue interval duration, level of stimulus processing required, and instructions on the spatial precue effect. Results show that the 'willingness' of subjects to allocate attention to a position in foveal visual space can be controlled by individuals. However, individuals may be less inclined to allocate attention to such a position when the time allowed to employ advance information is short and when the level of stimulus processing is low.

Gender differences in choice reaction time: evidence for differential strategies

Article Abstract:

The male and female difference in reaction time with central origin was proven when examining how they use varying information processing techniques in a task requiring verbal response to a location stimulus. Reaction time differences proved useful in analyzing occupational, motor-vehicle, and recreational functioning. It was found that males generally react quicker and that they employ a stair-like strategy unlike females' linear strategy. Males are also found to have shorter reaction time to inner positions, supporting the argument that they are prone to using the dichotomizing strategy.

Integrating multiple information sources: using redundancy in the design of warnings

Article Abstract:

The integration in presenting high priority warning information for auditory and visual modalities is given consideration. An experiment is presented to find out if performance gains could be realized by presenting a maximum of four sources of concurrent and congruent information in aircraft Missile Approach Warnings. Extra sources of redundant information are found to increase performance facilitation.
