PSY2002 W11 Revision Flashcards
A researcher conducts a McGurk experiment where visual information is in conflict with auditory information. What would Ernst and Bank’s normative model predict about multisensory perception?
The more the auditory signal is uncertain, the more the combined perception will be skewed towards the visual information
What does Moravec’s paradox states?
high-level cognitive tasks are relatively easy, while low-level sensorimotor tasks are relatively hard for a machine to solve
A researcher conducts a multisensory haptic-visual integration experiment. Participants have to compare a standard bar to a held bar viewed through a mirror. The standard is compared to a stimulus that is 50 mm long (haptic), but was made to look like it is 60 mms long (visual). Which of the following points of subjective equality (PSE) supports the visual dominance hypothesis?
PSE = 57
A researcher conducts two experiments to examine audio-visual integration: one that relies on spatial precision and one that relies on auditory precision. In the spatial precision experiment, perception was skewed towards the visual stimulus. Which of the following results would support the Modality precision hypothesis? In the temporal precision experiment…
The results will be skewed towards the auditory stimulus
A researcher documented the migration patterns of African swallows. After a year of data collection, he tries to find patterns in the data, and see what can be learned from it. This is an example of:
A bottom-up approach to theorizing
In regard to reaction times and stop signal reaction times, which of the following statements is false?
Stop-Signal Reaction Times can be measured directly
