Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central nervous system has the ability to generate very rapid 'temporally urgent' sensory motor reactions in response to stimuli under certain conditions. For example, temporally urgent reactions have been shown to occur during control of protective responses, such as regaining balance after a perturbation or reacting rapidly to a startling auditory stimulus. Two different mechanisms have been proposed to the observation of rapid reaction times; 1) different (shorter) pathway for those reactions with very rapid reactions and/or 2) increased synaptic excitability to reduce the time required at each site of synaptic convergence leading to a reduction in total reaction time. The overarching hypothesis of this work is that the occurrence of rapid reactions is mediated by the facilitation of pathways through stimulus driven and/or central facilitation leading to significant reduction in reaction time. The current work is delimited to a focus on the determinants of reaction time in response to auditory stimuli. Two studies were conducted to determine the relationship between stimulus intensity and behavioural and neurological responses. Study one focused on influence of stimulus intensity on simple and choice reaction time performance. Choice reaction time is distinguished by need for higher level cortical processing for decision making. Stimulus induced changes in choice reaction time would be most likely accounted for by pathway facilitation. Results from study one showed an overall decrease in choice reaction time to an increase in stimulus intensity with no difference in errors suggesting an increase in stimulus intensity results in increase synaptic facilitation. Study two focused on electrophysiological events associated with auditory stimuli. It was proposed that evidence of more rapid electrophysiological events and increased amplitude would support a model of synaptic facilitation with increases in auditory stimulus intensity. Results from study two showed decreased peak latencies with high stimulus amplitudes as well as increased cortical activity prior to motor responses further suggesting reductions in reaction time to increases in stimulus intensity are a result of increased synaptic facilitation. Overall this thesis is focussed on developing a further understanding of stimulus intensity as a determinant of reaction time so that in the future one may better understand the factors that contribute to slowing in older adults and those with neurological impairment.

Download or read book Psychophysics Beyond Sensation written by Christian Kaernbach and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-05-20 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a series of studies that expand laws, invariants, and principles of psychophysics beyond its classical domain of sensation. This book's goal is to demonstrate the extent of the domain of psychophysics, ranging from sensory processes, through sensory memory and short-term memory issues, to the interaction between sensation and action. The dynamics and timing of human performance are a further important issue within this extended framework of psychophysics: Given the similarity of the various cortical areas in terms of their neuroanatomical structure, it is an important question whether this similarity is paralleled by a similarity of processes. These issues are addressed by the contributions in the present volume using state-of-the-art research methods in behavioral research, psychophysiology, and mathematical modeling. The book is divided into four sections. Part I presents contributions concerning the classical domain of psychophysical judgment. The next two parts are concerned with elementary and higher-order processes and the concluding section deals with psychophysical models. The sections are introduced by guest editorials contributed by independent authors. These editorials present the authors' personals view on the respective section, providing an integrated account of the various contributions or highlighting their focus of interest among them. While also voicing their own and sometimes different point of view, they contribute to the process of discussion that makes science so exciting. This volume should be of great interest to advanced students in neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, neuropsychology, and related areas who seek to evaluate the range and power of psychological work today. Established scientists in those fields will also appreciate the variety of issues addressed within the same methodological framework and their multiple interconnections and stimulating "cross-talk."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preparation is a term that is used quite freely during private, informal discussions. As the argument becomes more formal and more public, “priming,” “ feed-forward” and similar jargon terms take its place, presumably because they are better defined, safer, and more acceptable. However, in spite of the caution that surrounds its use, it is clear that “preparation” denotes a useful concept. The purpose of the Franco-American Conference on Preparatory States and Processes was to try to clarify this concept by inviting investigators from different specialties in the behavioral and neural sciences to present and discuss illustrations of the use of the concept from their own work. First published in 1984. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
