Brief Summary

In this line of research, the researchers are examining whether performance on a cued attentional suppression (ignoring) task is related to performance on a learned attentional suppression task. In addition, these measures are related to the capacity of working memory and every day inattentive traits.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Button Press Reaction Time

  Reaction times on visual search task with positive, negative, and neutral cues

  1 day

• Learned Suppression Task

  Reaction times on visual search task no salient distractor and learned salient distractor

  1 day

• Visual Working Memory Capacity

  Visual Working Memory Capacity- Change Localization; Estimate of number of items maintained in working memory

  1 day

• Inattentive Traits Subscale of Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Self Report Scale

  Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Self Report Scale (used on healthy adults), Inattentive Traits subscale. Higher values indicate more ADHD-like inattentive trait symptoms (0-45).

Attention and Working Memory Tests

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants will complete a series of behavioral tasks, including cued visual search with positive (target color), negative (distractor color) and neutral (baseline) cues, learned visual search with a repeated salient distractor color, a visual working memory capacity task, and a daily life inattentive traits questionnaire (self-report). Single Arm.
