Methods

Question 1

PET

Answer 1

Investigating control of attention by using block design. Downside; slow, can’t see immediate reaction

Question 2

Event-related recordings and attention cuing paradigm

Answer 2

Attention cuing paradigm with fMRI, does need long cue - target time

Question 3

Switch vs stay

Answer 3

Two streams are presented simultaneously. Instructed to switch or stay attending. Restuls show that subregions of parietal cortex are used in this control .

Question 4

Event-related potentials

Answer 4

Combining data of attentional cuing paradigm.and ERP can resolve temporal resolution problem

Question 5

Single-neuron recording

Answer 5

Display process at level of neuron. Shows the sequence is frontal, than parietal.

Question 6

Lateral intraparietal (LIP) area

Answer 6

Part of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) involved with planning eye movements. Stimulus salience is important for this

Question 7

Premotor theory of attention

Answer 7

Shifting attention is closely related to planning action to achieve goal. Eye movements assist the attention.
