Answer 13

remember things from attended channel depending on what information was in unattended ear (river bank or money bank)

Question 14

Answer 14

what gets through the filter seems to depend on what kind of processing is going on

Question 15

why is it easier to shadow regular predictable messages

Answer 15

know what to expect so primes the appropriate detectors

Question 16

does your name have a high or low activation baseline

Answer 16

low

Question 17

repetition priming

Answer 17

• warming up one detector does not effect another

- no misleading repetition priming

Answer 18

• produces benefit when you get what you expect

- cost if you don’t get what you expect
