What are the two types of attention - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔selective and divided
Research method for selective attention - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔dichotic listening
Dichotic listening process - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔one message is presented to the left
ear and another to the right, participant "shadows" one message to ensure they are attending
to that message
Dichotic listening results - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔participants could not report the
content of the message in unattended ear, the unattended ear is being processed at some level
Broadbent's Filter Model - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Early-selection model, filters message
before incoming information is analyzed for meaning
Broadbent's Filter Model: sensory memory - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔holds all incoming
information for a fraction of a second, transfers all information to the next stage
Broadbent's Filter Model: filter - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔identifies attended message
based on physical characteristics, only attended message is passed on to the next stage
Broadbent's Filter Model: detector - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔processes the information
received to determine the meaning of the message
Broadbent's Filter Model: short-term memory - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔receives output of
detector, holds information for 10-15 seconds and may transfer it to long-term memory
, What could Broadbent's model not explain? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔participant's name
gets through, participants can shadow meaningful messages that switch from one ear to
another, effects of practice on detecting information in unattended ear
Evidence for late selection - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔selection of stimuli for final
processing may not occur until after information has been analyzed for meaning, McKay
(1973)
McKay (1973) - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔in attending ear, participants heard biasing
words, at test participants had to choose which was closest to the meaning of attended to
message, results: meaning of the biasing word affected participants' choice, were unaware of
the presentation of the biasing words
Treisman's Attenuation Theory: intermediate-selection model - CORRECT ANSWER-
✔✔attended message can be separated from unattended message early in the information-
processing system, selection can also occur later
Treisman's Attenuation Theory: attenuator - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔analyzes incoming
messages in terms of physical characteristics, language, and meaning, attended message is let
through the attenuator at full strength, unattended message is let through at a much weaker
strength
Treisman's Attenuation Theory: dictionary unit - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔contains words,
each of which have thresholds for being activated, words that are common or important have
low thresholds, uncommon words have high thresholds
Divided attention - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔enables people to simultaneously do two
things that were difficult at first, Spelke et al, Schneider and Shiffrin
Spelke et al. - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔after hours of practice, participants could read and
categorize dictated words
Schneider and Shiffrin - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔divide attention between remembering
target and monitoring rapidly presented stimuli, memory set: 1-4 target characters, test
frames: could contain a target and distractors
