Figures
- Fig. 1.
The filter task. (A) A sample trial with a 2-target, 6-distractor array. (B) HMM and LMM filter task performance as a function of the number of distractors (two targets). Error bars, SEM.
- Fig. 2.
AX-CPT mean response times in the no-distractors and the distractors conditions (note that the overall decrease in response times from the no distractors to the distractors condition is due to greater predictability of probe onset as a result of the rhythmic nature of the distractors; the key data point is the difference in the distractors condition between LMMs and HMMs). Error bars, SEM.
- Fig. 3.
Two- and three-back task results. (A) Hit rates. (B) False alarm rates. Error bars, SEM.
