A study testing Experimental: Within-Subjects Attentional Information in people with Healthy, run by Lehigh University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
In this line of research, the researchers having participants engage in task switching between tasks which require a positive (target) template, negative (distractor) template, or neutral (non-informative) template to the cognitive control factors associated with each template type during visual search.

About this study
Official title: Task Switching Between Positive and Negative Target Templates During Visual Search in Healthy Adults
In this line of research, the researchers having participants engage in task switching between tasks which require a positive (target) template, negative (distractor) template, or neutral (non-informative) template to the cognitive control factors associated with each template type during visual search. This is a basic science study.
Read the detailed description
The researchers will have participants engage in task switching between tasks which require a positive (target) template, negative (distractor) template, or neutral (non-informative) template to the cognitive control factors associated with each template type during visual search. Looking for impacts of task switching helps to identify the components of the cognitive control system that overlap between different types of attentional templates. This is a basic science study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Experimental: Within-Subjects Attentional InformationBehavioural
Also called Within-Subjects, all participants receive all interventions
Behavioral: Visual Search Information Type (target or distractor information) Participants will have information about targets, distractors, or neither in different trials of the intervention.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Within-Subjects Attentional Information | Experimental | Within-Subjects, all participants receive all interventions Receives: Behavioral: Experimental: Within-Subjects Attentional Information |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Button Press Reaction Time
Speed to respond correctly to the target- after participant finds the target shape on a computer screen, they press a button to indicate what shape they see
Measured: One day (during testing)
Button Press Accuracy
Accuracy of responses to target item (% correct)- the researchers will measure whether the participants presses the correct button which corresponds to the target shape presented on the computer screen or the incorrect button
Measured: One day (during testing)
Eye Movements to Objects on Computer Screen
Proportion (% of total) of eye movements directed to potential targets or distractors, measured with an Eye Link II eye tracker
Measured: One day (during testing)

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Button Press Reaction Time (time frame: One day (during testing)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Oct 2024.
