Acute stress is associated with increased auditory distraction
Attentional Control Theory suggests that acute stress reduces the efficiency of working memory and top-down control, increasing susceptibility to distraction. In contrast, Cognitive Reallocation accounts suggest that acute stress narrows attentional focus and potentially reduces distraction. We tested these competing predictions using a cross-modal oddball task, comparing participants exposed to an acute stressor, via a realistic firefighter trai…
How Can We Size Your Core Issue? Assessing Salience Validity Using Psychophysiology
Much research in public opinion attempts to operationalize and measure individual issue salience. Measuring this concept presents its own set of challenges, due in part to the fact that studies rely mostly on so-called “subjective” methods to measure the strength of attitudes. This paper aims to transcend the classical methods used in surveys to measure salience by comparing the results of these common approaches with results obtained with physio…
The mechanisms of far transfer from cognitive training
Building a mental toolbox
Sight-singing is an inescapable component of music training in higher education and is often challenging for students. However, some strategies could help students perform. Yet, the extent to which students can use strategies to improve their sight-singing performance remains unclear. This article asks two questions to fill this gap: (1) Which strategies do students use when sight-singing? (2) Does the application of some types of strategy predic…
Experiential and Cognitive Predictors of Sight-Singing Performance in Music Higher Education
Sight-singing is prevalent in aural skill classes, where learners differ in experience and cognitive abilities. In this research, we investigated whether musical experience, level of study, and working memory capacity (WMC) can predict sight-singing performance and if there is a correlation between WMC and performance among some subgroups of participants. We hypothesized that more experienced students and those with a higher WMC might sight-sing …
