Beschreibung: Looking at nothing effect (LAN) describes the behavior that individuals look at empty spatial locations during the retrieval of information which was previously associated with these locations. Over the years, the effect has been found to be quite robust and observed across a wide variety of experiments. However, the studies have not focused on understanding the role of visual attention in the effect. Visual attention is linked to both eye movements and working memory. Moreover, focus of attention, a selection mechanism in the working memory also interacts with visual attention. The idea of the thesis is to review the literature on the link between eye movements and visual attention and on the interaction between visual attention and working memory and how this review can help in informing the work on the Looking at Nothing Effect.

Beschreibung: Humans can only process and remember a limited amount of information at any given time. They are also limited in various cognitive abilities related to attentional control and executive function. One explanation for these and various other cognitive failings is that cognitive processing requires a limited cognitive resource that gets depleted with use. Even though there are a number of shared features among resource-limited theories, there are a myriad differences concerning the nature of the limited resource. The goal of this bachelor?s thesis would be to review existing resource-based theories to answer several questions ? what is a cognitive resource? What features are common and different among the various resource theories? Is it one resource or many? Are resource-based theories circular in their explanations and what makes a resource theory falsifiable? What are some potential neurophysiological substrates for these limited resources?
