Wiki Version:
Since visual processing holds much relevance to our daily lives and activities, research has often sought to improve visual processing skills by training on each skill directly. However, not much research has been done to see whether training cognition will lead to transfer improvements in visual processing. In this study, participants were assigned to either train on the change detection task, a visual working memory task, or a general knowledge task for seven sessions. Our outcome measures in the pre and post-tests assessed visual search, contrast sensitivity, and contour integration. We hypothesize that participants training on the change detection task will improve more in the outcome measures compared to participants in the general knowledge group. The present study builds on and extends previous work (Buschkuehl et al., 2017), investigating whether training in this paradigm leads to improvements in other areas besides working memory. Data collection is in the beginning stages and will continue throughout next quarter.
