Using the attention cascade model to computationally account for the age differences in an Attentional Blink (AB) task
No full textThe attention cascade model (Shih, 2008) is a general, mathematical model of attention and working memory. It is applied here to characterize cognitive aging
Letter from Frank Chin
No full textA letter from Frank Chin arguing that their should be a day name after Japanese American activist James Omura, and describing the kind of celebration that should take place in his honor. The day Chin proposes in November 27th, Omura's birthday.These materials are from box 73 and 74 of the Frank Chin Papers.

The attention cascade model and attentional blink
No full textAn attention cascade model is proposed to account for attentional blinks in rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of stimuli. Data were collected using single characters in a single RSVP stream at 10 Hz (from Shih & Reeves, 2007), and single words, in both single and dual RSVP streams at 19 Hz (from Potter, Staub, & O'Connor, 2002). The model adopts similar architecture of the cognitive accounts of attentional blinks and employs computational details from theories of attention gating. The model has elaborated working memory and attention control mechanism. Both bottom-up and top-down salience are explicit in the model. Quantitative fits are good and the model parameters have plausible values. The model handles stimulus competition, lag 1 sparing, intrusion errors, and magnitude of the dip; it also accounts for commonly observed effects such as stimulus similarities (local and global), target+1 blank, and stimulus salience
Letter from [Frank] Chin to David
No full textA letter from [Frank] Chin to David about buying space for a classified ad in the New York Times Sunday Book Review, that will mention the tribute to Michi Weglyn in February of 1998.

Chin devotes the bulk of the letter to a proposal for creating a bell, that would be made of pieces of metal from incarceration camps, to celebrate Japanese American redress.These materials are from box 73 and 74 of the Frank Chin Papers.

Using the attention cascade model to probe cognitive aging
No full textYoung and older adults searched for two digit targets among black letter distractors in rapid serial visual presentation. Unsurprisingly, relative to the young, the old performed worse on both targets and exhibited greater and longer attentional blink. The data of each group were computationally accounted for by the attention cascade model (Shih, 2008) with seven parameters; the optimum values and 95% confidence intervals of the parameters were based on 10,000 bootstrap samples. There was no age effect on the width of the attention window, or the capacity of the consolidation processor. However, relative to the young, the old suffered more masking effect of the salient (and brighter) stimulus, required longer consolidation duration, and had greater and more spread decision noise. The processing rate prior to working memory was numerically slower in the old. Both age groups adopted inefficient strategy during the task – engaging the consolidation processor unnecessarily long. Further simulations suggest that varying the duration can emulate strong, weak, or non-blinkers. The attention cascade model appears a useful tool for the investigation of cognitive aging and other comparative studies
Letter from [Frank Chin] to Momo and Lawson, January 21, 1998
No full textA letter to Momo and Lawson, possibly from Frank Chin, about a performance of the story Kaguya Hime, princess of the moon in Japanese folklore.
