Preparatory Switches of Auditory Spatial and Non-Spatial Attention Among Simultaneous Voices by Aureliu Lavric, Elisa Schmied

“…Preparation reduced the switch cost in both spatial-and gender-cueing conditions. Performance was better when each voice was heard on the same side as on the preceding trial, suggesting ‘binding’ of non-spatial and spatial voice features – but this did not materially influence the reduction in switch cost with preparation, indicating that preparatory attentional shifts can be effective within a single (task-relevant) dimension. …”

THE PREFERENCE OF FOREIGN-BASED (MIGRANT) PLAYERS OVER HOME-BASED PLAYERS IN THE SUPER EAGLES OF NIGERIA: A COLORATION OF ‘COLONIAL MENTALITY’ by JOSEPH OKECHUKWU NWOKE

“…However,when it was time for the final list to be drawn there might not be any home-based players in the list or there might be an insignificant number that might end up not playing in such competition.There has been a lot of talk on the preference of foreign-based players over home-based players in the Super Eagles team.Hence, this study analyses the rate of selection in terms of percentage of home-based and foreign-based players in the Super Eagles team by some selected foreign and Nigerian coaches.The Hamitic hypothesis of Seligman is applied to show the nexus to the preference for foreign-based players.This study makes use of   primary and tertiary sources of data.Findings reveal that not only foreign coaches solely relied on foreign-based players, as some Nigerian coaches were equally masterminds of the unpatriotic act. …”
