Document Summary
Visual extinction and the case of gk. The ffa is not the neural basis of face perception. Gk has face experience that he cannot report on. Sperling"s (1960) experiments on iconic memory using partial report paradigm. Global neuronal workspace theory (baars 1988; dehaene and naccache 2001) Modularity: unconscious processing rules on multiple modules. Global workspace : a distributed neural system with long-range" neurons that serve to interconnect and coordinate modular subsystems. Attention enables access to consciousness: top-down attentional amplification is the mechanism by which modular processes can be temporarily made available to the global workspace, and therefore to consciousness. Three different kinds of access? (dehaene and naccache 2001) Our ability to focus on task-relevant information while ignoring other irrelevant information. Subject"s task to repeat message in attended ear. William james (1890): my experiences is what i agree to attend to . Result of brain damage to brain regions associated with attentional processing? (e. g. , inferior parietal lobe or superior temporal gyrus)
