Properties Of Perceptual Motor After-Effects In Visuo-Spatial Tasks, Ben Kajaste

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

A series of experiments were conducted with the general theme and aim of exploring some of the yet to be determined properties of perceptual motor processing after-effects in visuo-spatial tasks. Using a variety paradigms, procedures and methods of analysis, numerous factors of interest were manipulated and examined to determine their implications related to how we process, store, make decisions and execute task requirements when presented with both relevant and irrelevant visuo-spatial information.

Experiment 1 investigated how distractor-generated response retrieval occurs; either via ‘inherent’ processing of high association strength links, or the application of task assignment rules (i.e., response selection determinants) …
