Working memory capacity and visual-verbal cognitive load modulate auditory-sensory gating in the brainstem: toward a unified view of attentionPatrik Sörqvist
University of Gavle, Sweden
J Cogn Neurosci 24:2147-54. 2012..The results support a unified view of attention whereby the capacity of a late/central mechanism (working memory) modulates early precortical sensory processing...
Disruption of writing processes by the semanticity of background speechPatrik Sörqvist
Department of Building, Energy and Environmental Engineering, University of Gavle, Gavle, Sweden
Scand J Psychol 53:97-102. 2012..These results suggest that writing is susceptible to disruption from the semanticity of speech but not especially susceptible to disruption from the acoustic properties of speech...
Working memory capacity modulates habituation rate: evidence from a cross-modal auditory distraction paradigmPatrik Sörqvist
Department of Building, Energy and Environmental Engineering, University of Gavle, SE 801 76 Gävle, Sweden
Psychon Bull Rev 19:245-50. 2012..These results indicate that high memory ability increases habituation rate, and they support theories proposing a role for cognitive control in habituation and in some forms of auditory distraction...
Episodic long-term memory of spoken discourse masked by speech: what is the role for working memory capacity?Patrik Sörqvist
Linkoping University, Linkoping, Sweden
J Speech Lang Hear Res 55:210-8. 2012..To investigate whether working memory capacity (WMC) modulates the effects of to-be-ignored speech on the memory of materials conveyed by to-be-attended speech...
A sub-process view of working memory capacity: evidence from effects of speech on prose memoryPatrik Sörqvist
Centre for Built Environment, University of Gavle, Sweden
Memory 18:310-26. 2010....
High working memory capacity attenuates the deviation effect but not the changing-state effect: further support for the duplex-mechanism account of auditory distractionPatrik Sörqvist
University of Gavle, Gavle, Sweden
Mem Cognit 38:651-8. 2010..These results suggest that the two effects are caused by different mechanisms and support the duplex-mechanism account of auditory distraction...
Hemispheric asymmetries in auditory distractionPatrik Sörqvist
Department of Building, Energy and Environmental Engineering, University of Gavle, Gavle, Sweden
Brain Cogn 74:79-87. 2010..Our results complement previous research on hemispheric asymmetry effects in cross-modal auditory distraction by demonstrating a role for the left hemisphere in semantic auditory distraction...
The role of working memory capacity in auditory distraction: a reviewPatrik Sörqvist
Laboratory of Applied Psychology, Centre for Built Environment, University of Gavle, Gavle, Sweden
Noise Health 12:217-24. 2010..Because of this, noise abatement interventions should first of all be directed towards people with low working memory capacity. Implications for theories of auditory distraction are discussed...
Expectations modulate the magnitude of attentional capture by auditory eventsAnatole Nöstl
Department of Building, Energy and Environmental Engineering, University of Gavle, Gavle, Sweden
PLoS ONE 7:e48569. 2012..These results indicate that the magnitude of attentional capture by deviant sound events depends on the discrepancy between the deviant event and the expected event, not on perceived local change...
Effects of road traffic noise and irrelevant speech on children's reading and mathematical performanceRobert Ljung
Laboratory of Applied Psychology, Centre for Built Environment, University of Gavle, Gavle, Sweden
Noise Health 11:194-8. 2009..Irrelevant speech did not disrupt performance on any task. These findings are related to previous research on noise in schools and the implications for noise abatement guidelines are discussed...
