Highlights
Attention is one of the oldest and most pivotal themes in cognitive science
Geva et al (2013) recently used the Attention Network Test (ANT) and psychosensory pupil dilation (PD) responses to examine the temporospatial attributes of concurrent locus coeruleus-norepinephrinergic (LC–NE) activity, notoriously involved in alerting (Rajkowski et al, 1994), and hypothesized by them to affect orienting and executive control networks as well
The authors concluded that PD responses seem to be “evoked in each attention network in a construct-specific manner.”
Summary
Attention is one of the oldest and most pivotal themes in cognitive science. A current and widely accepted theory holds that anatomically-distinct, hierarchicallyorganized networks, each responsible for specific components of the attention process (i.e., alerting, orienting, and executive control), constitute the attention system (Posner and Petersen, 1990). A current and widely accepted theory holds that anatomically-distinct, hierarchicallyorganized networks, each responsible for specific components of the attention process (i.e., alerting, orienting, and executive control), constitute the attention system (Posner and Petersen, 1990).
