TPR Interacting with the environment Flashcards
attended and unattended channel
the two channels in different ears that listen and ignore information respectively
Donald Broadbent
thought of the brain as a processing system with limited capacity and sought to map out the steps that went into creating memories from raw sensory data - developed: the BROADBENT FILTER MODEL OF SELECTIVE ATTENTION
cocktail party effect
when we tune into background conversations and input data
Anne Trismann’s attenuation model
same as Donald Broadbent, but accounted for the unattended information that was still heard, by describing it as dampened rather than ignored entirely
selective priming
the concept that someone can be primed/taught to observe something, which explains the cocktail party effect
spotlight model
the spotlight is a beam that can shine anywhere in the individuals vision field - which is not the movement of the eyes, but movement of attention
resource model of attention
says that we have a limited pool of resources on which to draw when performing tasks, both modality specific resources and general resources
what are the steps of the information processing level after the ears?
attention, perception and storage in the memory
Allen Baddeley’s model
he named working memory, from short term memory
what did Baddeley’s model consist of?
working memory consists of 4 components:
- phonological loop
- visuospatial sketchpad
- an episodic buffer
- central executive
phonological loop
allows is to repeat verbal information to help us remember it
visuospatial sketchpad
serves a similar purpose as phonological loop, but for visuospatial information, through the use of mental images
episodic buffer
theorized to integrate information from the phonological loop and visuospatial sketpad with a sense of time, and to interface it with
