Sources of secondary task interference with driving: Executive processes or verbal and visuo-spatial rehearsal processes?
(2008-08)We investigated the effects of secondary working memory tasks that loaded either visuo-spatial working memory or verbal working memory (phonological loop) and which required either rehearsal or executive processes involving ... -
Spatial constraints of binocularly matched information on perceived depth resulted from temporal interocular asynchrony
(IEEE, 2017)Quantitative depth of a subjective occluding surface could only be perceived when binocularly matched information is presented along with temporal interocular unmatched (IOUM) information [1]. However, it is still unclear ... -
