No A 4 U: The relationship between multitasking and academic performance (2012, background): “…to either attend to or process more than one task at a time overloads the capacity of the human information processing system (Koch et al., 2011; Marois & Ivanoff, 2005; Strayer & Drews, 2004; Tombu et al., 2011; Wood & Cowan, 1995), which results in real-world consequences due to the costs of…”
The Curious Incident of Attention in Multisensory Integration: Bottom-up vs. Top-down (2016, neutral): “Attention is primarily defined as a guiding process in which relevant inputs are being selected for detailed processing and perceptual awareness out of the inflow of all incoming information (Adam et al., 2014; Marois and Ivanoff, 2005; Talsma et al., 2010).”
Neural substrates of cognitive capacity limitations (2011, background): “Because it is so basic to cognition, capacity limitation has been well studied in humans (9), particularly the capacity limitation of visual shortterm working memory (for reviews see refs.”
Process Overlap Theory: A Unified Account of the General Factor of Intelligence (2016, background): “These areas are therefore primary candidates for being the neural substrate of capacity limits (Dux et al., 2006; Koechlin & Hyafil, 2007; Marois & Ivanoff, 2005; Tombu et al., 2011), probably strongly affecting working memory and intelligence.”
The Brain's Router: A Cortical Network Model of Serial Processing in the Primate Brain (2010, background): “The spatial resolution of EEG is very imprecise and thus a better characterization of the locus of central processing bottlenecks in the brain comes from fMRI studies, which have pinpointed a broad parietofrontal network that exhibits various manifestations of central capacity limits [67,107], inclu”
Evidence of Online Performance Deterioration in User Sessions on Reddit (2016, background): “However, it remains unclear from a physiological standpoint whether capacity to process or produce information varies from person to person [25].”
Conscious and Nonconscious Processes:Distinct Forms of Evidence Accumulation? (2011, background): “At present, only a few studies have examined brain activity during states where conscious access is prevented by top-down attentional competition, such as the attentional blink (for review, see Marois and Ivanoff 2005 ).”
Student class standing, Facebook use, and academic performance (2015, background): “For instance, trying to attend to more than one task at a time " clogs " up the bottleneck by overloading the capacity of the human information processing system (Koch, Lawo, Fels, & Vorländer, 2011; Marois & Ivanoff, 2005; Strayer & Drews, 2004; Tombu et al., 2011; Wood & Cowan, 1995).”
In-class multitasking and academic performance (2012, background): “…to either attend to or process more than one task at a time overloads the capacity of the human information processing system (Koch et al., 2011; Marois & Ivanoff, 2005; Strayer & Drews, 2004; Tombu et al., 2011; Wood & Cowan, 1995), which results in real-world consequences due to the costs of…”
Are you always on my mind? A review of how face perception and attention interact. (2007, background): “…tasks may not be measuring relatively early perceptual proses but later post-perceptual stages of processing or consolidation into workmemory (see Marois & Ivanoff, 2005). found that responses in the FFA are reduced but not eliminated; and moreover that amygdala activation is maintained,…”
Mental Training Affects Distribution of Limited Brain Resources (2007, background): “A major limitation in human information processing arises from the time required to consciously identify and consolidate a visual stimulus in short-term memory [1].”
A taxonomy of external and internal attention. (2011, neutral): “…limitations from other forms of capacity limitations (Herath et al. 2001, Jiang & Kanwisher 2003), while there is convergence for a common processing bottleneck in the lateral frontal cortex (Marois & Ivanoff 2005), especially for the psychological refractory period and the attentional blink.”
