Reframe the pain: Divided attention and positive memory reframing to reduce needle pain and distress in children—A feasibility randomized controlled trial
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "European Journal of Pain"
DOI: 10.1002/ejp.1992
Abstract: Negative experiences of needle procedures in childhood can lead to medical avoidance and vaccine hesitancy into adulthood. We evaluated the feasibility of two new interventions provided by clinical nurses to reduce the negative impact of… read more here.

Characterizing the roles of alpha and theta oscillations in multisensory attention
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Neuropsychologia"
DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.02.021
Abstract: ABSTRACT Cortical alpha oscillations (8–13 Hz) appear to play a role in suppressing distractions when just one sensory modality is being attended, but do they also contribute when attention is distributed over multiple sensory modalities?… read more here.

DOI: 10.1167/jov.22.12.2
Abstract: Divided attention effects have been observed across a variety of stimuli and perceptual tasks, which have given rise to both object-based and space-based theories of divided attention. Object-based theories assert that processing information from multiple… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0031512517700054
Abstract: While dichotic listening (DL) was originally intended to measure bottom-up selective attention, it has also become a tool for measuring top-down selective attention. This study investigated the brain regions related to top-down selective and divided… read more here.

Divided attention and the encoding effects of retrieval
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology"
DOI: 10.1177/1747021819847141
Abstract: Retrieving from memory both reveals as well as modifies memory. It is important to understand how these encoding effects of retrieval differ from other forms of encoding. One possible difference relates to attention: divided attention… read more here.
