“…This tendency finds a continuation in previously observed data patterns based on auditory (thus, even less automatic) stimuli for saccades, where we observed dual-response costs in RTs without sizable effects in errors (Huestegge & Koch, 2010a, 2013. This observation provides additional evidence that the specific stimulus modalities (here: visual vs. auditory input) involved in multiple-response control substantially affect overall processing efficiency (Huestegge & Hazeltine, 2011).…”

“…Therefore, participants had the ability to practise these tasks individually prior to integrating them, which may have decreased the divided attention task’s difficulty. In addition, more effective tests of divided attention may require the allocation of cognitive resources to unique tasks within the same cognitive modality, versus the integration of a visual test of selective attention and an auditory test of sustained attention employed in the current study, which may not cause as much interference (Huestegge & Hazeltine, 2011; Levens et al, 2009). …”

Background and objectives The current study tested the resource allocation hypothesis, examining whether baseline rumination or depressive symptom levels prospectively predicted deficits in executive functioning in an adolescent sample. The alternative to this hypothesis was also evaluated by testing whether lower initial levels of executive functioning predicted increases in rumination or depressive symptoms at follow-up. Methods A community sample of 200 adolescents (ages 12–13) completed measures of depressive symptoms, rumination, and executive functioning at baseline and at a follow-up session approximately 15 months later. Results Adolescents with higher levels of baseline rumination displayed decreases in selective attention and attentional switching at follow-up. Rumination did not predict changes in working memory or sustained and divided attention. Depressive symptoms were not found to predict significant changes in executive functioning scores at follow-up. Baseline executive functioning was not associated with change in rumination or depression over time. Conclusions Findings partially support the resource allocation hypothesis that engaging in ruminative thoughts consumes cognitive resources that would otherwise be allocated towards difficult tests of executive functioning. Support was not found for the alternative hypothesis that lower levels of initial executive functioning would predict increased rumination or depressive symptoms at follow-up. Our study is the first to find support for the resource allocation hypothesis using a longitudinal design and an adolescent sample. Findings highlight the potentially detrimental effects of rumination on executive functioning during early adolescence.

“…Previous research assumed that all saccades can be regarded as being under at least some degree of voluntary control (even those usually labeled as ''automatic'' or ''exogenous,'' see Walker, Walker, Husain, & Kennard, 2000). Nevertheless, saccades are known to be impossible to inhibit after they were triggered beyond a certain point of no return, and previous literature also suggests that certain concurrent demands in other effector modalities inevitably affect saccade control (e.g., Huestegge, 2011;Huestegge & Adam, 2011;Huestegge & Hazeltine, 2011; see ''action coordination across effectors'' in Figure 6).…”

Free-choice saccades and their underlying determinants: Explorations of high-level voluntary oculomotor control

Models of eye-movement control distinguish between different control levels, ranging from automatic (bottom-up, stimulus-driven selection) and automatized (based on well-learned routines) to voluntary (top-down, goal-driven selection, e.g., based on instructions). However, one type of voluntary control has yet only been examined in the manual and not in the oculomotor domain, namely free-choice selection among arbitrary targets, that is, targets that are of equal interest from both a bottom-up and topdown processing perspective. Here, we ask which features of targets (identity-or location-related) are used to determine such oculomotor free-choice behavior. In two experiments, participants executed a saccade to one of four peripheral targets in three different choice conditions: unconstrained free choice, constrained free choice based on target identity (color), and constrained free choice based on target location. The analysis of choice frequencies revealed that unconstrained free-choice selection closely resembled constrained choice based on target location. The results suggest that free-choice oculomotor control is mainly guided by spatial (location-based) target characteristics. We explain these results by assuming that participants tend to avoid less parsimonious recoding of target-identity representations into spatial codes, the latter being a necessary prerequisite to configure oculomotor commands.
