I added some simple structure since the content was large enough to warrant it, and I believe this improved readability. I'm not married to the exact section headers though, if you have better ideas for them or for the structure I invite you to change those. - Owlmonkey ( talk) 22:09, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
"A study conducted by Heleen Slagter, Richard Davidson and colleagues, suggests that meditation, particularly vipassana, may reduce the duration of attentional blink. In an experiment, 17 people received three months of intensive training in meditation. Those 17 along with 23 meditation novices performed an attention task in which they successively picked out two numbers embedded in a series of letters. The novices exhibited attentional blink and missed the second number. In contrast, all the trained meditators consistently picked out both numbers. This indicated meditation practice can improve focus.[6][7]"
The finding that frequent meditators perform better in an RSVP task might not be due to improved focus. To the contrary, a number of articles illustrated that a diffuse state of attention, not focus, leads to a better performance in an RSVP task. For example Olivers and Niewuenhuis (2005) show that non-task related music in the background or doing free association during an RSVP task leads to attenuation of the attentional blink. They argue that this is done by producing diffuse attentional state.

Hello Everyone, I'm in the process of editing this article for a class at Clemson University. If you have any advice or input please feel free to contact me. Taydncn ( talk) 01:07, 26 February 2013 (UTC) I will be adding to the sections that are already in the article, research, meditation, and emotions. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

I will be continuing to work on this article. If you have any input please fill free to let me know Taydncn ( talk) 00:47, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello everyone I just wanted to mention that I already uploaded some information on research and theories as well as emotion and mediation sections in the article. If you have any questions or suggestion feel free to let me know. Taydncn ( talk) 01:08, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello everyone,
I've uploaded the final article. I've added the section development of attentional blink. I've also added some more information on the theories section, emotion section and the mediation section. Taydncn ( talk) 15:17, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello Everyone,
I am editing this article for a class at Davidson College. Upon initial review of the article, it was very short-- so I will be adding to the topics already listed and expand upon them. In addition to being short, there is enough information left out that the article almost reads as incomplete. While neutral in tone and presentation, some links to specified facts-- particularly "lag 1 sparing" are not included. While reading the article, the author uses vague references to measurements and definitions that should otherwise be precise and specific (i.e. "that targets presented very close together in time"). The facts presented read more as opinion than scholarly, simply from the lack cited data. I'll be adding to these facts in the upcoming weeks.
To expand on the information that the author presented, I found this abstract pertaining to the effects that Lag 1 and extended Lag on attentional blink [1]

Hi there all, I am editing this for a psychology class at Davidson College The article itself is very short and seems kind of incomplete. All throughout the article there's a few citations missing - citations that could help the reader decipher what the article is saying. There are also some grammatical and sentence structure issues. The article itself reads as a compilation of facts put together in no particular order but it doesn't give a concrete definition of what the attentional blink is. The article is in fact unbiased, but the way it's organized is confusing. After reading through the full article it was still very difficult to even begin to grasp the concept of what an attentional blink is.
The article is sort of difficult to understand from the beginning and I think that adding additional information on the subjects of "temporal costs" and "allocating selective attention". If one was interested in adding additional information on how temporal costs connects to attentional blink they could use this article. [2]... and if one wanted to expand on how selective attention plays a role in the attentional blink they could use this article [3]

Hello Everyone,
Here are some sources that I plan to contribute to the article regarding the section on lag 1 sparing. Expectancy-based modulations of lag-1 sparing and extended sparing during the attentional blink. [4]
On the costs of lag-1 sparing. [5]
Short-term consolidation of individual identities leads to Lag-1 sparing. [6]
Irrelevant auditory and visual events induce a visual attentional blink. [7]

Hi fellow Wikipedians! I am new to Wikipedia, and I am working on this article as a part of a class assignment. This article has a lot of potential. However, there are things that can be added or switched around to make it better. We should consider inserting images to increase credibility and make the topic easier to understand. I think it would also be wise to fix some of the wording to make it easier to read. I'll be working on the article for the next few months to increase the quality! I am open to criticism. Advise is openly accepted as I am new to this. Please let me know!- Stephanie.merrick.wright ( talk) 22:25, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
