Attention 3 Flashcards
Change blindness
When change in visual stimulus is introduced and goes unnoticed
Surprisingly difficult to detect changes
With change blindness
There are certain conditions where
Change blindness is more likely
What do change blindness and inattentional blindness have in common
Failure to perceive things easily seen once noticed, both due to lack of attention
If change/inattentional blindness occurs due to early selection
The stimulus should never be perceived
If it occurs due to late selection
The stimulus might be perceived but not remembered
Differences between change blindness and inattentional blindness
Memory plays a role in change blindness but not inattentional blindness, and change blindness can occur even if finding the change is the actual task but inattentional blindness typically occurs when observer is performing another task
Four main lobes
Frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe
Frontal lobe is located
In the front
Parietal lobe is located
At the top
The occipital lobe is located
In the back
The temporal lobe is located
At the bottom
Large scale
Areas in different lobes of the brain
Attentional
Activity modulated by attention
Networks
Areas tightly interconnected by neuronal pathways, often activated together
