Q

What is a dichotic listening task?

A

Headphones. 2 diff messages being spoken into each ear. Asked to repeat only one stream of info. Quizzed on how much info from unattended ear could be remembered.

Q

Triesmans attenuation theory suggests that (leaky filter model)

A

Instead of blocking out stimuli, the filter weakens the strength of stimuli other than the target stimuli

23
Q

Early task selection might occur when

A

Task load is high. Need to pay full attention. Or when task is really interesting.

24
Q

Cog load refers to

A

Amount of cog resources required to carry out a particular task. Easy task = low load. Etc

25
Q

Low cog load you need

A

Extra cog resources to attend to irrelevant info

26
Q

What type of selection is low cog load

A

Late selection

27
Q

What type of selection Is high cog load?

A

Early selection

28
Q

High cog load you have less

A

Cog resources to attend to irrelevant info

29
Q

Central capacity theory argues that

A

We have a single cog load capacity that can be used flexibly. Strictly limited resources

30
Q

Multiple resource theory argues that we have

A

Separate cog load capacities for visual and auditory modalities

31
Q

Multiple resource theory best for

A

More simple tasks

32
Q

Central capacity theory best for more

A

Complex tasks.

33
Q

Consistent mapping condition

A

Target is always mapped on to a particular group of stimuli

34
Q

Variable mapping is

A

When you have are looking for a different target than the previous trial but the previous target is also present in the present trial. Can be a distractor variable

35
Q

Varied mapping produce worse performance than

A

Consistent mapping

36
Q

Controlled processing

A

Having to pay close attention to search for target at all times. Automaticity never occurs

37
Q

Practice can only automatise

A

Some tasks

38
Q

Tasks that have consistent mapping can achieve

A

Automaticity

39
Q

Task that involve variable mapping can not be

A

Automatised

40
Q

We can infer what we are attending to by tracking

A

Eye movements

41
Q

Saccade means

A

Rapid shifts of the eyes

42
Q

Fixations are

A

Short pauses on points of interest

43
Q

Complex schematic means ppl will

A

Fixate on points that are salient/important. Saccade to one piece of info to combine with another piece of info

44
Q

Bottom up factors are also called

A

Exogenous factors

45
Q

Exogenous factors are

A

Within the environment. About the stimulus.

46
Q

Stimulus salience are features in the environment that

A

Stand out from The background. Ie a stop sign

47
Q

Top down factors are also called

A

Endogenous

48
Q

Endogenous factors

A

Occur internally that guide our info search. Cog concerns etc

49
Q

Endogenous factors are what we

A

Think a scene should contain (schemas)

50
Q

Parallel processing occurs when

A

You don’t have too much cognitive load with a task so you could probably do another task at the same time

51
Q

Bottom up processing is very

A

Feature driven processing

52
Q

In Conjunction searches ppl are forced to look for a target that has

A

More than one key feature

53
Q

Serial processing means you have to

A

Sort through one item at a time. No pop outs. In conjunction searches

54
Q

Where’s wally is a type of …………..search

A

Conjunction search

55
Q

Conjunction search involves

A

Careful controlled searching
