Two key features of visual attentional processes for perception, memory and action are competition and priority control (“biased competition” framework). Based on this perspective, the seminar will attempt to review and discuss theoretial ideas and experimental evidence for this claim. The seminar language will be English – basic (not advanced) skills in reading, writing, presentation, and discussing are presupposed. Original research papers related to the basic seminar text, namely Schneider (2013, see below) will be read, presented, and discussed. Suggestions for alternative viewpoints and experimental tests are very welcome. Each participant should be in charge of one seminar session including a presentation (powerpoint, etc.) and a discussion section.
This seminar will be mainly offered to MSc students of Psychology that have selected courses in cognitive neuroscience (e.g., modules X and Y) during their BSc studies. Knowledge about the basics of action control, perception, memory, and about experimental methods is presupposed (see, e.g., Gazzaniga, M. et al., 2008, Cognitive neuroscience: The biology of the mind. Norton).
