Is consciousness graded or dichotomous? a level of processing accountWindey, Bert 16 December 2014 (has links)
In this dissertation, we investigate whether consciousness is graded or dichotomous. Based on previous work and a level of processing framework, we hypothesize that consciousness in general, and visual experience specifically, can be conceived of as both graded and dichotomous. We present a series of experimental studies that provide support for this reasoning. We outline a set of future projects which can follow up on this research, and discuss the limitations of the current approach. / Doctorat en Sciences Psychologiques et de l'éducation / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Unexpected 'all or none' processing utilized by executive systems when working memory and inhibitory control requirements increasedFrazer, Jeff 03 June 2008 (has links)
The “All-or-None Hypothesis (ANH)” (Diamond, 2005; 2006) was examined, positing that executive systems process information and respond to the environment using global
heuristics, versus a more piecemeal approach. 104 adults were tested on two novel
paradigms designed to uniquely test the ANH. Working Memory (WM) and Inhibitory Control (IC) demands were manipulated, to test the impact of these task demands. Performance measured by reaction times and accuracy on both paradigms provided some support for the ANH. However, this effect was greatest when participants required ‘executive-type’ inhibition, versus ‘motor-type’ inhibition to suppress a response. Further, increasing the WM load increased the ANH trend, while varying the IC requirements had little effect. To our knowledge this is the first direct test of Diamond’s ANH, and extended its specificity in terms of task demands.
