Attention Load Regulates the Facilitation of Audio-Visual Information on Landing Perception in Badminton.

Based on the role of the high temporal sensitivity of the auditory modality and the advantage of audio-visual integration in motion perception and anticipation, we investigated the effect of audio-visual information on landing perception in badminton through two experiments; and we explored the regulatory role of attention load. In this study, experienced badminton players were asked to predict the landing position of the shuttle under the conditions of video (visual) or audio-video (audio-visual) presentation. We manipulated flight information or attention load. The results of Experiment 1 showed that, whether the visual information was rich or not, that is, whether or not it contained the early flight trajectory, the addition of auditory information played a promoting role. The results of Experiment 2 showed that attention load regulated the facilitation of multi-modal integration on landing perception. The facilitation of audio-visual information was impaired under high load, meaning that audio-visual integration tended to be guided by attention from top to bottom. The results support the superiority effect of multi-modal integration, suggesting that adding auditory perception training to sports training could significantly improve athletes' performance.

Your ears don't change what your eyes like: People can independently report the pleasure of music and images.

Observers can make independent aesthetic judgments of at least two images presented briefly and simultaneously. However, it is unknown whether this is the case for two stimuli of different sensory modalities. Here, we investigated whether individuals can judge auditory and visual stimuli independently, and whether stimulus duration influences such judgments. Participants (N = 120, across two experiments and a replication) saw images of paintings and heard excerpts of music, presented simultaneously for 2 s (Experiment 1) or 5 s (Experiment 2). After the stimuli were presented, participants rated how much pleasure they felt from the stimulus (music, image, or combined pleasure of both, depending on which was cued) on a 9-point scale. Finally, participants completed a baseline rating block where they rated each stimulus in isolation. We used the baseline ratings to predict ratings of audiovisual presentations. Across both experiments, the root mean square errors (RMSEs) obtained from leave-one-out-cross-validation analyses showed that people's ratings of music and images were unbiased by the simultaneously presented other stimulus, and ratings of both were best described as the arithmetic mean of the ratings from the individual presentations at the end of the experiment. This pattern of results replicates previous findings on simultaneously presented images, indicating that participants can ignore the pleasure of an irrelevant stimulus regardless of the sensory modality and duration of stimulus presentation.

Research on Audience Needs for Slow-Paced Amusement Shows from the Perspective of Uses and Gratification

Up against the impetuous and depressing fast-paced times, slow-paced amusement shows have come into being, which were watched by audiences with healing audio-visual presentations, turning the spiritual support for the audience to adjust their emotions and pursue poetic life. As a typical representative of slow-paced amusement shows, Back to Field has been a great success. However, the output of more and more similar programs makes it prominent in homogeneous modeling, leading the audience to lack emotional identity. Therefore, it is necessary to study audience needs. Based on the theory of uses and gratification, this paper takes Back to Field as an example and attempts to find out the trend of younger audiences as well as the reasons for diversified audience contact through the in-depth interview. In the era of audience orientation, it is conducive to grasping their needs, innovating constantly under their guidance, and actively leading their psychology, so as to create new glory in the slow-paced amusement industry and promote cultural self-confidence and self-improvement.

Use of Audio-Visual Presentations in Araling Panlipunan: Effects to the Academic Performance of Grade Five of Manongol Central Elementary School

This study was conducted to determine the effects of audio-visual presentations in Araling Panlipunan to the performance of Grade Five learners at Manongol Central Elementary School. The researcher used the quasi-experimental method of research. It employed the two group’s pre-test/post-test design in which the experimental group was exposed to the audio-visual presentation while the control group was exposed to the traditional instruction. Comparisons were made before and after the intervention. The participants of this study were the Grade 5 learners of Manongol Central Elementary School wherein two sections were used in the study. The Grade 5- Mahogany, composed of 47 learners and who got the head during toss-coin, was assigned as experimental group exposed to audio-visual presentation and the Grade 5- Narra, which is also composed of 47 learners and who got the tail, was assigned as control group exposed to traditional instruction. Results of the study revealed that there is a significant difference in the performance of each of the two groups as revealed in the pre-test and post-test scores. However, the experimental group demonstrated a higher increase on their scores than those who did not use audio-visual presentations. This only means that the use of audio-visual presentations in teaching Araling Panlipunan contributed a lot on the performance of the respondents under the experimental group.

The role of task difficulty in directing selective attention in bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) neonates: A developmental test of the intersensory redundancy hypothesis.

The dynamics of selective attention necessarily influences the course of early perceptual development. The intersensory redundancy hypothesis proposes that in early development information presented redundantly across two or more senses selectively recruits attention to the amodal properties of an object or event. In contrast, information presented to a single sense enhances attention to modality-specific properties. The present study assessed the second of these predictions in neonatal bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus), with a focus on the role of task difficulty in directing selective attention. In Experiment 1, we exposed quail chicks to unimodal auditory, nonredundant audiovisual, or redundant audiovisual presentations of a bobwhite maternal call paired with a pulsing light for 10min/h on the day following hatching. Chicks were subsequently individually tested 24h later for their unimodal auditory preference between the familiarized maternal call and the same call with pitch altered by two steps. Chicks from all experimental groups preferred the familiarized maternal call over the altered maternal call. In Experiment 2, we repeated the exposure conditions of Experiment 1, but presented a more difficult task by narrowing the pitch range between the two maternal calls during testing. Chicks in the unimodal auditory and nonredundant audiovisual conditions preferred the familiarized call, whereas chicks in the redundant audiovisual exposure group showed no detection of the pitch change. Our results indicate that early discrimination of pitch change is disrupted by intersensory redundancy under difficult but not easy task conditions. These findings, along with findings from human infants, highlight the role of task difficulty in shifting attentional selectivity and underscore the dynamic nature of neonatal attentional salience hierarchies.

The modality effect reverses in a virtual reality learning environment and influences cognitive load

When Virtual Reality (VR) is used to present learning content, the three-dimensional image is often not sufficient and additional text is required, either in the form of visual or auditory text. Such additional instructional text could be particularly beneficial due to the many visual stimuli and the risk of visual working memory overload. Relieving working memory by using both channels in the audio-visual presentation, there might be more cognitive capacity available to invest in germane processes for learning. In addition, the image and the text can be processed simultaneously, supporting deeper learning processes. Based on the modality effect, it is therefore assumed that an audio-visual presentation in VR, compared to a visual-only presentation, can lead to higher learning outcomes (recall, comprehension and transfer). In a between-subjects design we analysed the modality principle in VR with 61 subjects (69% female). We hypothesized that when verbal information in VR is given auditorily instead of visually, it leads to overall higher learning outcomes. For intrinsic cognitive load we assumed no differences, but lower extraneous cognitive load and higher germane cognitive load for the audio-visual condition. However, results show a reverse modality effect. The visual-only condition showed higher learning outcome scores for recall, comprehension and transfer. As expected, the conditions showed no differences with regard to the intrinsic cognitive load. However, we also found no differences in extraneous cognitive load. Contrary to our hypothesis we found higher germane cognitive load for the visual-only condition compared to the audio-visual condition, which may be attributed to repeated reading, reading strategies or other self-regulatory strategies. Future research could focus on the use of strategies or evaluate relevant process data.

Pewarisan Nilai Budaya Religius Dalam Membentuk Kesalihan Sosial Anak Dan Generasi Muda

The flow of information and the rapid development of social media with various kinds of audio-visual presentations, both positive and negative at the same time, of course raises anxiety about the impact it has on human behavior, especially for children and the younger generation. Apart from that, there are many factors of social destructiveness and promiscuity which are very easy to access, of course, it also has an impact on the more difficult efforts to form piety in social life for them. This study aims to determine the importance of inheriting religious cultural values in shaping the social piety of children and the younger generation. This type of research is literature study, the method used is a qualitative method with a description that takes into account relevant and value-oriented contexts, this research is descriptive in nature which focuses on systematic explanations and context analysis. The results of the study show that parents have a responsibility to shape social piety for children and the younger generation by being role models for them in living real life in the midst of worldly associations that challenge and threaten the character of children and the nation's generation, because of this the inheritance of cultural values. This religus for them is very urgent and must be sustainable by enriching narratives and deepening scientific and religious insights without neglecting the development of digital technology under the supervision of educators, especially parents.Keywords: Inheritance, Values, Culture, religious, Charity, social.

Based on the application of visual effects and auditory design in the film creation process of the Disney animated film and the live-action film Mulan, this paper analyzes the different plastic art styles shown in the two films due to the different visual elements of the shots, and compares the different application of montage language in the two films in the combination of shots and images. As well as the different characteristics of subjective music in the guidance of shots and the comprehensive use of original sound and dubbing, this paper expounds the audio-visual language characteristics of animated films that are different from live-action films. Starting from the audio-visual language strategy of animated films, this paper discusses the distinctive characteristics and rules of audio-visual language of animated films in exaggerated modeling, montage free narration and auditory design of "first sound and then painting", reveals its essential characteristics of "exaggeration" and "freedom", and explores the unique artistic charm of animated films.

Working in a UK national proton radiotherapy facility: the therapeutic radiographer perspective

Abstract The first national UK proton beam therapy centre opened at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in 2018, which alongside University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) proton beam therapy centre, is expected to treat approximately seven-hundred and fifty patients per year at service ramp up. The aim of this editorial is to share with a wider audience the role of a Band 6 proton senior treatment radiographer working in a national NHS service and future developments of the service. Prior to the service being clinical, a range of processes were followed, including the creation of quality documents, departmental training and end-to-end testing, with the first patient receiving treatment in December 2018. Proton senior radiographers are responsible for the delivery of safe and accurate radiotherapy and ensuring a smooth patient pathway, through a multi-collaborative team approach. Although there are key differences between proton and photon radiotherapy, the fundamental aspects, including radiation principles, governance and patient advice are the same. The training package for proton senior radiographers includes an individual local induction as part of the proton education and competency framework, which incorporates practical learning, including clinical supervision and workshops, plus audio-visual presentations and workbooks to complete. Future developments of proton beam therapy include proton arc therapy and flash therapy, alongside educational developments, such as training the future workforce and advanced practice consultant radiographer roles. Shared learning through multi-collaboration of international proton beam therapy centres is crucial to improve care for future service users.

Investigating the lateralisation of experimentally induced auditory verbal hallucinations.

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs), or hearing non-existent voices, are a common symptom in psychosis. Recent research suggests that AVHs are also experienced by neurotypical individuals. Individuals with schizophrenia experiencing AVHs and neurotypicals who are highly prone to hallucinate both produce false positive responses in auditory signal detection. These findings suggest that voice-hearing may lie on a continuum with similar mechanisms underlying AVHs in both populations. The current study used a monaural auditory stimulus in a signal detection task to test to what extent experimentally induced verbal hallucinations are (1) left-lateralised (i.e., more likely to occur when presented to the right ear compared to the left ear due to the left-hemisphere dominance for language processing), and (2) predicted by self-reported hallucination proneness and auditory imagery tendencies. In a conditioning task, fifty neurotypical participants associated a negative word on-screen with the same word being played via headphones through successive simultaneous audio-visual presentations. A signal detection task followed where participants were presented with a target word on-screen and indicated whether they heard the word being played concurrently amongst white noise. Results showed that Pavlovian audio-visual conditioning reliably elicited a significant number of false positives (FPs). However, FP rates, perceptual sensitivities, and response biases did not differ between either ear. They were neither predicted by hallucination proneness nor auditory imagery. The results show that experimentally induced FPs in neurotypicals are not left-lateralised, adding further weight to the argument that lateralisation may not be a defining feature of hallucinations in clinical or non-clinical populations. The findings also support the idea that AVHs may be a continuous phenomenon that varies in severity and frequency across the population. Studying induced AVHs in neurotypicals may help identify the underlying cognitive and neural mechanisms contributing to AVHs in individuals with psychotic disorders.

Stuttering Severity Judgments by Speech-Language Pathologists of Bilingual Children Who Do and Do Not Stutter

Introduction: Recent studies conducted with bilingual populations have shown that bilingual children who do not stutter (CWNS) are often less fluent than their monolingual counterparts, which seems to affect the accuracy with which speech-language pathologists (SLPs) identify stuttering in bilinguals. That is, misdiagnosis appears frequently in bilingual children and is more likely to occur with bilingual CWNS (false positives) than with bilingual CWS (false negatives). Methods: The goal of the current study was to gain insight in the extent of this misdiagnosis. Speech samples of 6 Lebanese bilingual CWNS and 2 CWS were rated by Lebanese SLPs in an audio-only and audiovisual presentation mode. SLPs had to identify each child as stuttering or not and subsequently rate on a 6-point scale the stuttering severity for each child. SLPs also provided background information by means of a questionnaire. Results: The results showed that stuttering severity ratings (1) were on average significantly higher for CWS than for CWNS, (2) were for each CWS higher than for all but one of the CWNS, (3) varied significantly among the CWNS but not the CWS, (4) were not affected by the presentation mode, and (5) correlated positively with the percentage of stuttering-like disfluencies (SLD) and the mean number of iterations, but not with the percentage of other disfluencies (OD). Conclusion: Misdiagnosed bilingual CWNS are perceived by the SLPs as having a mild stutter, primarily based on the frequency of their disfluencies, but can be occasionally rated at par with CWS. Further research differentiating the disfluent speech of bilingual children who do and do not stutter is needed to reach a more adequate diagnosis of stuttering.

Why is the Ultimate Visual Aid Spelled with 26 Letters?

Each "Communication Corner" essay is self-contained; however, they build on each other. For best results, before reading this essay and doing the exercise, go to the first essay "How an Ugly Duckling Became a Swan," then read each succeeding essay. Many people believe for ultimate success an audio-visual presentation should fill the screen with a maximum of pictures and a minimum of text because: "Pictures are visual; text is not." Objectively, it can be demonstrated that this simply isn't true. On the contrary, when properly used, text can often be more visual than virtually any picture (image) you could imagine.

Finding voice in a year of collective trauma: Case study of an online photovoice project with youth.

In this article, we share findings from a qualitative case study of a virtual youth photovoice program implemented across three regions of the United States. The purpose of the program was to engage youth in research on a social issue relevant to them during an unprecedented year marked by two public health crises, COVID-19 and anti-Black racial violence. Results of an analysis of curriculum and archival program materials lend support for online strategies for youth engagement including individualized support and online audiovisual presentations with avatars. Racial justice and trauma-informed adaptations were designed to be responsive to youth needs for flexible programming and safe spaces. Themes captured in the first online gallery of youth photos include (1) tools for mental health, (2) meaningful connection, and (3) community advocacy, bringing attention to structural issues as well as family and community strengths. Findings suggest photovoice can be thoughtfully adapted for youth researchers and support individual and group storytelling in response to collective trauma.

An evaluation of the efficacy of a supplemental computer-based tutorial to enhance the informed consent process for cataract surgery: an exploratory randomized clinical study

BackgroundTo assess whether informing patients with a computer-based tutorial in addition to standard informed consent influences the patient’s attitude towards surgery and increases patient’s knowledge.MethodsIn this prospective, exploratory, randomized clinical study, patients scheduled for their first eye cataract surgery were randomly allocated to two groups, receiving standard face-to-face informed consent (control group) or additionally using an interactive computer-based tool (CatInfo) containing an audiovisual presentation about cataract and its treatment (study group). Cataract-related knowledge and decisional confidence (decisional conflict scale (DCS)) were assessed as well as one-month postoperatively decisional regret (decision regret scale (DRS)) and willingness to exchange face-to-face discussion time for the use of such a tool.ResultsThe study comprised 134 patients, 64 patients in the study group and 70 in the control group. Patients in the study group answered more questions correctly, 16.3 ± 2.0 (median 16.5, 11.0–19.0) versus 15.5 ± 1.9 (median 16.0, 8.0–19.0; p = 0.01). Patients showed a high decisional confidence with a study group mean DCS score of 92.4 ± 9.8 (median 96.9, 65.6–100) and control group score of 91.6 ± 10.9 (median 95.3, 43.3–100; p = 0.52). Mean DRS score in the study group was 2.5 ± 8.0 (median 0, 0–40) and 4.3 ± 12.5 (median 0, 0–75) in the control group (p = 0.14). Of study group patients 23 (67.6%) were willing to trade time, on average 158 ± 180 s (median 120 s, 45–900). Satisfaction with the tool was high with a mean of 9.1 ± 1.3 out of 10 (median 9.7, 5.0–10).ConclusionsCataract-related knowledge was generally good, with slightly higher scores in the study group. In both groups, decisional confidence was high and regret after surgery was low. A tendency towards slightly higher decisional confidence and lower regret was found in the study group, although these differences were not statistically significant. Additional use of an interactive computer-based tool may prove useful in the informed consent process in a high-volume cataract outpatient setting.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04975126.
