Auditory attentional shifts in reading-disabled students: quantification of attentional effectiveness by the Attentional Shift Index

Neuropsychologia
Arve Asbjørnsen, M P Bryden

Abstract

A controversy has existed for some years regarding auditory attentional skills in reading-disabled children. Data have suggested highly developed attentional skills in groups of reading-disabled students, but reduced attentional shifts have also been documented in equivalent groups. Attentional shifts in dichotic listening with forced or directed attention are usually inferred from a significant interaction between attentional task and ear. However, this procedure cannot be used to evaluate individual test performance, and the interaction does not give a useful measure of attentional shifts in dichotic listening meaningful for comparison with other tests of attention. In this paper attentional shifts in dichotic listening are quantified with the Attentional Shift Index (ASI), a measure for evaluating the degree of attentional shift in individual subjects. The ASI is based on the log-odds ratio of hits and intrusion errors when the subject has been tested under conditions of directed or forced attention. When 58.3% of the normative sample showed significant attentional shifts, none of the reading-disabled sample did so. This finding is discussed in relation to different types of deficits that can account for for the lack of audi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
