Cognition midterm
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Attention acts as a _________ to select some info for conscious thought | Gatekeeper |
| Who predicted that unattended info has no impact on behavior? | Broadbent |
| Which theory suggests that the mind acts like an on/off switch and only acts on the physical stimulus in which meaning is not processed | Broadbent's Filter theory |
| In the dichotic listening task, the participant was only only able to recall what he heard in the attended ear. What is this called? | Shadowing |
| What do you hear in the unattended ear | recognize changes in gender |
| Which model only analyzes for physical characteristics, language, and meaning | Attenuator |
| The attenuator model is also known as the ______ model | "leaky filter" |
| Who created the attenuator model? | Treisman |
| Broadbent's filter theory, the dichotic listening task, and Treisman's attenuator model are all forms of: | early selection models |
| Selection of stimuli for final processing does not occur until after info has been analyzed for meaning | late selection models |
| which model (early or late) occurs depends on: | cognitive load |
| which theory implies that cognitve resources are finite and that attention is the process of allocating these resources to various "inputs" | Capacity theory |
| This task involves reading colors out loud without confusing them with the color name that is different from the actual color of the word | Stroop task |
| easy tasks requiring few resources | low load |
| low load is associated with which selection? | late selection |
| hard tasks requiring lots of resources | high load |
| high load is associated with which selection? | early selection |
| If you are doing an easy task, you can be ________ and have ___ performance | easily distracted, bad performance |
| If you are doing an hard task, you can be ___________ and have _____ performance | difficult to distract, good performance |
| This theory involves visual scanning and simple/hard feature searches | Treisman's Feature Integration theory |
| When basic features are processed in parallel with feature maps, this is called: | Pre attentive |
| When features are bound into units with serial attention, this is called: | Attention |
| The feature integration theory implies that attention binds features into _______ | objects |
| Which type of search involves conjunctive and attentive searches? | Serial |
| Which type of search involves feature and pre-attentive searches? | Parallel |
| When under high load, features can be miscombined, leading to mistakes. This is called: | illusory conjunctions |
| This task involves staring at a space (+) and measuring the amount of time it takes to see/find the cue that appears close to that space or away from it | Posner Cueing task (valid/invalid) |
| Faster and more accurate processing within one object then across two objects is called: | Object-based attention |
| Damage to the parietal lobe (usually on the right side) causes this: | Hemispatial Neglect |
| Hemispatial neglect inhibits what | processing the left side of visual space(world) |
| Hemispatial Neglect is what type of disorder? | Object vs. space-based disorder |
| Someone with this syndrome can only see 1 object at a time | Balint's syndrome |
| Balint's syndrome is also called: | simultanagnosia |
| Failure to notice an unexpected event or object in clear view | Inattentional Blindness |
| Failure to notice changes in a visual scene | Change blindness |
| An example of change blindness would be: | the "door" study |
| This memory model includes: sensory memory, short-term/working memory, and long term memory | Modal model |
| who created the modal model of memory? | Atkinson & Shiffrin |
| A memory system that stores the "trace" of information received by receptor cells | Sensory memory |
| What are the two types of sensory memory? | Echoic & Iconic |
| The whole & partial report technique was created by: | Sperling |
| Sensory memory has a large _______, but a short _______ | capacity, duration |
| This procedure involves reading three letters then counting backwards from 100 after the letters have disappeared until the word stop appears on the screen then write the previous letters down | Brown-Peterson procedure |
| When what you have learned earlier is interfering with what you are currently trying to learn | Proactive interference |
| Who came up with the digit span that is the magic number seven + or - two? | George Miller |
| Number of chunks you can rehearse in 2 seconds | pronunciation rate |
| This memory model includes the visuospatial sketchpad, central executive, and the phonological loop | Baddeley's Model |
| this contains verbal and auditory info | phonological loop |
| This keeps items in the phonological store and translates info into an auditory code | Articulatory rehearsal process |
| This effect implies that it is harder to remember a group of words that sound alike versus word groups that sound different | Phonological similarity effect |
| This keeps you from rehearsing/remembering other words while repeating a word "the" over and over again | articulatory suppression |
| When you can't read/rehearse a word because of how long it is | word length effect |
| Baddeley's updated working memory model includes: | episodic buffer and involvement with long-term memory |
| This part of the working memory model has no storage, coordinates info and is an attention controller | Central executive |
| Damage to the frontal lobes that disrupts central executive function causes this | Dysexecutive syndrome |
| Cannot disengage from old mode of thinking | Perseveration |
