Four experiments tested a new hypothesis that involuntary attention shifts are contingent on
the relationship between the properties of the eliciting event and the properties required for …

Background An outbreak of tuberculosis occurred over a 3-year period in a medium-size
community in British Columbia, Canada. The results of mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit…

▪ Abstract Recent progress in the study of attention and performance is discussed, focusing
on the nature of attentional control and the effects of practice. Generally speaking, the effects …

When the stimuli from two tasks arrive in rapid succession (the overlapping tasks paradigm),
response delays are typically observed. Two general types of models have been proposed …

Van Orden (1987) reported that false positive errors in a categorization task are elevated for
homophonic foils (eg,{hare} for {a part of the human body}). Two new experiments replicate …

Background Treatment outcomes for multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MDRTB)
are generally poor compared to drug sensitive disease. We sought to estimate treatment …

The extent to which brief abrupt-onset visual stimuli involuntarily capture spatial attention
was examined in five experiments. The paradigm used was intended to maximize the …

M. tuberculosis is evolving antibiotic resistance, threatening attempts at tuberculosis epidemic
control. Mechanisms of resistance, including genetic changes favored by selection in …

Early and late selection models of attention disagree about whether visual objects are identified
before or after selection, with recent evidence of interference from to-be-ignored stimuli …
