Lyle et al Flashcards
In which years did Lyle and colleagues publish their papers?
2008 - 2013
How did Lyle further Christmans work in relation to the biology of the research?
He explained the link between strong right handedness and the lack of interhemispheric interaction; its due to the fact that strongly right handed people have a smaller corpus callosum
What is the role of the corpus callosum?
Its a bunch of nerves that links the two hemispheres
How did non-strong right handed people react to saccadic eye movements?
the eye movements were inconsequential or even detrimental in non-strongly right handed people
What affect did saccades have on true memories
they improved confidence in true memories
what affect did saccades have on false memories and how could this be applied to the real world?
they decreased confidence in false memories - this could be crucial to improve the reliabililty and validity of eye witness testimonies
Later on in his research he completely changed his mind on what subject?
He argues that saccades improved intrahemispheric processing not interhemispheric interaction
He argues that saccades are an effective means of improving…
attentional control (independent of handedness) and improving the performance of the executive function network
What did lyle not use in his research?
Brain scans and eye movement trackers.
What is the difference between interhemispheric interaction and intrahemispheric processing
interhemispheric interaction is the interaction between the two hemispheres, intrahemispheric processing is improved attentional processing within each hemisphere
What do they attribute the improvement in intrahemispheric processing when using saccades?
activation of the intraparietal sulcus and/or the frontal eye field
