TY - JOUR A1 - Oberauer, Klaus A1 - Kliegl, Reinhold T1 - Simultaneous cognitive operations in working memory after dual-task practice N2 - The authors tested the hypothesis that with adequate practice, people can execute 2 cognitive operations in working memory simultaneously. In Experiment 1, 6 students practiced updating 2 items in working memory through 2 sequences of operations (1 numerical, 1 spatial). In different blocks, imperative stimuli for the 2 sequences of operations were presented either simultaneously or sequentially. Initially, most participants experienced substantial dual-task costs. After 24 sessions of practice, operation latencies for simultaneous presentation were equal to the maximum of times for the 2 operations in the sequential condition, suggesting perfect timesharing. Experiment 2 showed that a reduction of dual-task costs requires practice on the combination of the 2 updating tasks, not just practice on each individual task. Hence, the reduction of dual-task costs cannot be explained by shortening or automatization of individual operations Y1 - 2004 SN - 0096-1523 ER - TY - GEN A1 - Rolfs, Martin A1 - Kliegl, Reinhold A1 - Engbert, Ralf T1 - Microsaccade orientation supports attentional enhancement opposite to a peripheral cue: Commentary on Tse, Sheinberg, and Logothetis T3 - Zweitveröffentlichungen der Universität Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe - paper 248 Y1 - 2004 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-57081 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Rolfs, Martin A1 - Engbert, Ralf A1 - Kliegl, Reinhold T1 - Microsaccade orientation supports attentional enhancement opposite to a peripheral cue Y1 - 2004 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Kliegl, Reinhold A1 - Grabner, Ellen A1 - Rolfs, Martin A1 - Engbert, Ralf T1 - Length, frequency, and predictability effects of words on eye movements in reading Y1 - 2004 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Engbert, Ralf A1 - Kliegl, Reinhold A1 - Longtin, Andre T1 - Complexity of eye movements in reading N2 - During reading, our eyes perform complicated sequences of fixations on words. Stochastic models of eye movement control suggest that this seemingly erratic behaviour can be attributed to noise in the oculomotor system and random fluctuations in lexical processing. Here, we present a qualitative analysis of a recently published dynamical model [Engbert et al., 2002] and propose that deterministic nonlinear control accounts for much of the observed complexity of eye movement patterns during reading. Based on a symbolic coding technique we analyze robust statistical features of simulated fixation sequences Y1 - 2004 ER -
