Easterbrook’s Cue Utilization Theory

A

-What INFO (STIMULI) we choose to pay attention to

Signal Detection Theory

A
  • SOURCE of info (stimuli) we choose to pay attention to
  • as arousal increases, “DECISION ERRORS” increases
  • Ex: We pay attention to wrong info
34

Information Processing Theory

A
  • Based on ability of brain to PROCESS INFO

- As arousal INCREASES, COGNITIVE INTERFERENCE (brain waves) increases.

Task Temporality

A

-As the task comes nears, arousal increases

36

Task novelty

A
  • New task = low arousal level

- Old task = We can allow for high arousal level without hindering performance
