Moray Flashcards
what is the aim of experiment 1
to investigate the amount of information particpants could recognise from a rejected message
what is the aim of experiment 2
to investigate the effect of hearing ones own name in the rejected message
what is the aim of experiment 3
to investigate the effects of instrctions to identify a specific target in the rejected message
what is the background of this study
cherry when researching the cocktail party phenonomnom
what was the method and design of all 3 experiments
all lab experiment
1+2 repeated measures design
3 independant measures design
what was the independant and dependant variable experiment 1
iv- shadowed message (a short story ) or rejected messaged (words repeated 35 times)
dv- number or words recognised correctly
what was the variables of experiment 2
iv- was whether the instructions were affective (name) or non affective (no name)
dv- was the number of instructions recalled
what was the variables of experiment 3
iv-instructions given 1) asked questiobs about passage 2) told to remember all numbers
dv- was how many didgits they recalled hearing
what were the controls of the experiment
volume was 60 decibles above persons normal hearing
recorded by same male speaker in monotone voice
between 130-150 words per minute
what are some of the results from experiment 2
affective instructions - 20/ 39 numbers
non affective 4/36
what are some conclusions for experiment 1
these findings support cherry
there was no trace of material from rejected message being recognised
what are some conclusions from experiment 2
most partcicpants ignored the instructions that were presented in the passages they were shadowing
experiment 3
numbers dont get through attentional blocksas they arent affective ques
sample for experiment 1
male and female
unknown amount
undergraduate students
sample for experiment 2
male and female
12 people
what is the sample of experiment 3
male and female
2 groups of 4 participants
key theme question
who- undergraduate and researche workers both male and female
what-aimed to look at selective audio attention with affective an none affective ques
how- dichotic listening activity where audio was played into each ear
findings-in experiment 2, 20 out of 39 instructions with affective ques were recalled and 4 out of 36 instructions with none affective cues
key area question
principle- mental processing and process of input, process and output
aim- aimed to look at selectiive audio attention with affective and non affective ques
findings- in experiment 2, 20 out of 39 instructions with affective cue were recalled and 4 out of 36 instructions with none affective ques
similarites between Moray and simon and chabris
lab experiment
independant measures design
snapshot design
quantative data
ethnocentric
differnces between Moray and simon and chabris
M-opportunity sample, uses both independant and repeated measures design
S+C- self selected sample, only independant measures
