Executive Function and Change Detection Performance

Full description

Change blindness involves a failure to detect visual changes despite the differences being available to visual perception. Although change detection is crucial for driving and occupations such as radiology, little is known about the individual differences that contribute to change detection ability or the cognitive domains involved. Previous research has implicated attentional and visual memory processes in successful change detection. This repository contains datafiles from a study that used the novel Alternate Forms Flicker Task (AFFT), paired with a battery of nine cognitive tests, to ascertain which cognitive domains are most strongly associated with change detection accuracy in a sample of 260 participants.

The repository contains two datasets. One dataset that was used post-outlier removal (Cleaned), and one dataset that is the original pre-outlier removal (Original). Both jamovi and CSV files are included.

Trial data pertaining to the Alternate Forms Flicker Task is also included. Additionally, item-level datafiles are included pertaining to the images of the task. Both jamovi and CSV files are included.
