1 LECTURE 9 & 10: ATTENTION
- Change blindness: not noticing changes happening in front of you, because
attention is not directed at the change
o You can only process so much
- You cannot translate every visual input into a motor output
- Perception action cycle: cycle from sensory cortex → higher level sensory cortex →
premotor cortex → primary motor cortex
o Your behavior changes your environment, which then influence your
perception again
- Limited capacity: you can only process so many sensory inputs
o Dichotic listening experiment: in one ear one input, and another in the
other ear
▪ Very hard to attend to both inputs
▪ Shadowing: repeat what one of them is saying
• If you do this for one input, you do not notice the other input
anymore
o You cannot memorize or reproduce it anymore
o Limited capacity for higher level analysis, and responses
o Executive functions play a role
▪ They somehow do the selection of the capacity
1.1 ATTENTION
- Overt attention:
o Something happens in your surround and you have the tendency to look at it
o You foveate a stimulus to process it in more detail
o Function: process things more sharply/more in center of vision
- Covert attention:
o Shifting attention towards something, while maintaining fixation somewhere
else
▪ No actual external signs that show you’re focusing attention
somewhere else
o Often in social animals, because direction of gaze has a strong meaning
o Cocktail party effect: pretending to listen to a conversation in front of you,
but actually listening in on another conversation
▪ Covert attention in auditory domain
▪ Thus not restricted to visual domain
- Attentional capture: your attention is suddenly captured by something
o E.g. someone mentioning your name
o Can cause you to focus overt or covert attention on this
