Orienting and focusing of visual attention are two processes strictly involved in reading. They
were studied in a group of dyslexic children and normal readers. Shifting of attention by both …

A time-course analysis of visual attention focusing (attentional constraint) was conducted in
groups of participants with high and low working memory spans, a dimension the authors …

An important mechanism used to selectively process relevant information in the environment
is spatial attention. One fundamental way in which spatial attention is deployed is attentional …

To investigate the role of salience in fast visual search, time courses for the detection and
identification of salient targets were measured in six subjects, using texture-like line arrays …

Abstract In R. Egly, J. Driver, and RD Rafal's (1994) influential double-rectangle spatial-
cuing paradigm, exogenous cues consistently induce object-based attention, whereas …

In this study, we investigate whether attentional focusing, like attentional orienting,
comprises two independent mechanisms. We provide direct empirical evidence in favor of …

The focus of spatial attention can be not only oriented to a particular location, but also
adjusted in its size to select visual information from a narrow (zoom-in) or broad (zoom-out) …

A cue size procedure was used to evaluate the time course of visuo-spatial attention in
dyslexic and normally reading children. When a stimulus target is presented inside a large …

An artificial grammar learning task was used to define two learning tasks of identical
complexity at the symbolic level, but which differed in terms of stimulus format. The stimuli in …

Attention alterations are reported in cirrhotics. Aiming at clarifying attention functioning in
cirrhotics, an inquiry on the functioning of the anterior (AAS) and the posterior (PAS) …
