auditory and visual stimulus that had occurred simultaneously were being consciously experienced simultaneously.

he would either see the stimulus or hear the stimulus, but not both - the sensory experiences were overriding each other.

Question 4 of 11

1

'personal equations' refers to...

Select one of the following:

consistent individual differences when comparing personal measurements and observations.
mathematical equations designed by the individual and not yet proofed by a council.
A pseudo-science developed in the early 1900s that claimed to be able to determine an individual's personality through full body measurements.
the process of making up an equation during a math exam when you've forgotten the actual formula you're supposed to use.

Select one of the following:

how people chronologically order their life experiences.
measuring of the speed of information processing through reaction-time experiments.
individual differences in sensory measurements or observations.
developmental chronology of the human brain.

Explanation

Question 6 of 11

1

1

Affective response (galvantic skin response following presentation of emotionally evocative stimuli).

Explanation

Question 10 of 11

1
