Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

845
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Routes of Persuasion02:20

Routes of Persuasion

68.5K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Archival Research

17.1K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Schemas

12.3K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Framing Effects

7.9K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Unstable vision in amblyopia (lazy eye) may stem from attention deficits caused by involuntary eye movements. This impacts visual task performance and response times.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder impacting visual processing.
  • Strabismic amblyopia is characterized by unstable fixation and increased microsaccades.
  • Eye movements and attention are closely linked in visual processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel hypothesis linking fixation instability in amblyopia to deficits in selective attention.
  • To investigate the role of fixational eye movements in attention deficits observed in amblyopia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on amblyopia, eye movements, and attention.
  • Analysis of saccade latency and manual response times in amblyopic eye viewing.
  • Discussion of potential mechanisms including fixation instability, neglect, and suppression.

Main Results:

  • Increased saccade latency and manual response times suggest attention is disrupted by fixational eye movements in amblyopia.
  • Fixation instability may contribute to broader attention deficits in amblyopia.

Conclusions:

  • Fixation instability in amblyopia likely incurs a cost in selective attention.
  • Further research is needed to differentiate between attention deficits caused by fixation instability versus neglect or suppression.
