The Rapid Visual Processing RVP Task Further Explorations

The Rapid Visual Processing (RVP) Task Further Explorations RVP measures a participant’s ability to maintain attention over a prolonged period of time RVP Measures: § § Hits Misses False Positives Premature Responses § Hit Reaction Time Current Module Use: § SDK 100 • alcohol vs no alcohol § SXHL 288 • smokers vs non-smokers https: //learn 5. open. ac. uk/course/format/sciencelab/section. php? name=rvp_sxhl 288

The Rapid Visual Processing (RVP) Task Further Explorations Ø Student are eager to explore other factors that influence attention § e. g. , hours of sleep, caffeine intake, recent exercise, etc. Ø We propose that students collect additional RVP data. § Students will… ü vote on variables to explore ü perform the RVP task on themselves ü contribute their results to a shared database. - We hope to open the activity to public contribution in the future - Dataset may be part of capstone project modules if successful (e. g. , SXL 390) ü ‘data mine’ and identify findings worthy of further exploration ü discuss their experience with peers using online forums. Ø This project will give students… 1. a sense of intellectual ownership over their results and ideas 2. exposure to interacting with large and complicated datasets https: //learn 5. open. ac. uk/course/format/sciencelab/section. php? name=rvp_sxhl 288
