The modality effect is a term used in experimental psychology, most often in the fields dealing with memory and learning, to refer to how learner performance depends on the presentation mode of studied items.
Crossmodal perception or cross-modal perception is perception that involves interactions between two or more different sensory modalities. [1] Examples include synesthesia, sensory substitution and the McGurk effect, in which vision and hearing interact in speech perception.
Cross-modal attention is considered to be the overlap between modalities that can both enhance and limit attentional processing. The most common example given of crossmodal attention is the Cocktail Party Effect, which is when a person is able to focus and attend to one important stimulus instead of other less important stimuli. This phenomenon ...
In the 1990s, cognitive load theory was applied in several contexts. The empirical results from these studies led to the demonstration of several learning effects: the completion-problem effect; [11] modality effect; [12] [13] split-attention effect; [14] worked-example effect; [15] [16] and expertise reversal effect. [17]
For perceptual experience and behavior to benefit from the simultaneous stimulation of multiple sensory modalities, integration of the information from these modalities is necessary. Some of the mechanisms mediating this phenomenon and its subsequent effects on cognitive and behavioural processes will be examined hereafter.
My husband and I separated, and I moved into an apartment near our family home. We wanted to prioritize keeping things stable for our three children.
Tactile stimulation is used in clinical psychology through the method of prompting. Prompting is the use of a set of instructions designed to guide a participant through learning a behavior. A physical prompt involves stimulation in the form of physically guided behavior in the appropriate situation and environment.
Three years after the original suspect in a nearly 40-year-old double murder was exonerated based on DNA evidence and freed from prison after 20 years, a Georgia man has been arrested and charged ...
