“…Due to their particular strength in distinguishing the dynamic properties of systems, response time based measures such as the capacity coefficient (Townsend & Nozawa, 1995; Townsend & Wenger, 2004) and the related Race Model Inequality (Miller, 1982) have been gaining employment in both basic and applied sectors of cognitive psychology. The purview of application of these measures includes areas as diverse as memory search (Rickard & Bajic, 2004), visual search (Krummenacher, Grubert, & Müller, 2010; Weidner & Muller, 2010), visual perception (Eidels, Townsend, & Algom, 2010; Scharf, Palmer, & Moore, 2011), auditory perception (Fiedler, Schröter, & Ulrich, 2011), flavor perception (Veldhuizen, Shepard, Wang, & Marks, 2010), multi-sensory integration (Hugenschmidt, Hayasaka, Peiffer, & Laurienti, 2010; Rach, Diederich, & Colonius, 2011) and threat detection (Richards, Hadwin, Benson, Wenger, & Donnelly, 2011). …”

A critical component of how we understand a mental process is given by measuring the effect of varying the workload. The capacity coefficient (Townsend & Nozawa, 1995; Townsend & Wenger, 2004) is a measure on response times for quantifying changes in performance due to workload. Despite its precise mathematical foundation, until now rigorous statistical tests have been lacking. In this paper, we demonstrate statistical properties of the components of the capacity measure and propose a significance test for comparing the capacity coefficient to a baseline measure or two capacity coefficients to each other.

“…When the signals are different enough to be processed as two discrete pieces of information, the coactivation of separate perceptual modules occurs and causes an RSE (Mordkoff & Danek, 2011). This has been demonstrated in both visual (Mordkoff & Yantis, 1993) and auditory (Fiedler et al, 2011;Schröter et al, 2007) experiments in which two signal dimensions of one perceptual object were manipulated. For example, Mordkoff and Yantis (2003) showed that redundant signals in different perceptual dimensions, such as shape (e.g., X) and color (e.g., green), elicited coactivation (Experiments…”

Multidimensional Regularity Processing in Music: An Examination Using Redundant Signals Effect

Regularities in music are the basis of predictive music listening. Dynamic expectations are based on short-term representations of acoustic regularities specific to the current musical context, whereas schematic expectations are based on knowledge of tonal regularities. The present study focuses on the redundant signals effect (RSE) as a novel approach to untangling the relationship between these regularities in music. The RSE refers to the occurrence of a shorter reaction time (RT) when two or three signals are presented simultaneously than when only one of these signals is presented, and provides evidence that these signals are processed concurrently. In two experiments, chords that deviated from tonal (harmonic) and acoustic (intensity and timbre) regularities were presented occasionally in the final position of short chord sequences. The participants were asked to detect all deviant chords while withholding their responses to non-deviant chords (i.e., the Go/NoGo task). RSEs were observed in all double- and triple-deviant combinations, reflecting concurrent processing of multidimensional regularities. Further analyses suggested evidence of coactivation by separate perceptual modules in the combination of tonal and acoustic deviants, but not in the combination of two acoustic deviants. These results imply that tonal and acoustic regularities are different enough to be processed as two discrete pieces of information. Examining the underlying process of RSE may elucidate the relationship between multidimensional regularity processing in music.

“…Under this arrangement, the target location probability was equal across locations, such that information from two locations was equally salient and important for target detection. Moreover, a potential anticipation for redundant-target trials can be eliminated because only one-fourth of the trials contained dots at both locations (Fiedler, Schröter, & Ulrich, 2011;Mordkoff & Yantis, 1991;Townsend & Nozawa, 1995).…”

We investigated the decision process underlying the detection of targets at multiple locations. In three experiments using the same observers, target location probability and attentional instructions were manipulated. A redundanttarget detection task was conducted in which participants were required to detect a dot presented at one of two locations. When the dot appeared at the two locations with equal frequency (Experiment 1), those participants who were found to have limited to unlimited capacity were shown to adopt a parallel, self-terminating strategy. By contrast, those participants who had supercapacity were shown to process redundant targets in a coactive manner. When targets were presented with unequal probability, two participants adopted a parallel, self-terminating strategy regardless of whether they were informed the target location probability (Experiment 3) or not (Experiment 2). For the remaining two participants, the strategy changed from parallel, self-terminating to serial, selfterminating as a result of the probability instructions. In Experiments 2 and 3, all the participants were of unlimited to limited capacity. Taken together, these results suggest that target location probability differently affects the selection of a decision strategy and highlight the role of controlled attention in selecting a decision strategy.
