Explanation

Question 2 of 12

1

Select one of the following:

  • Exogenous cue

  • Endogenous

  • Top down attention

  • Internal attention

Question 3 of 12

1

What prediction could we make about responses after invalid cues in Posners' cueing task?

Select one of the following:

  • We would expect a longer reaction time than for valid cues.

  • We would expect a shorter reaction time compared to valid cues.

  • No change in reaction time in relation to validness of the cues.

  • A longer reaction time than for valid cues but only when the context is different.

Explanation

Inhibition of return is a characteristic of...

Select one of the following:

  • Exogenous attention

  • Endogenous attention

  • A neurons refractory period

  • The voluntary attention

Explanation

Question 5 of 12

1

In Eglys' experiment using rectangles and valid/invalid cues, it was found that when the target was the same distance away and within the same rectangle, response times were quicker than targets the same distance away but in a different rectangle. What kind of attention does this give evidence for?

Select one of the following:

  • Object-based attention

  • Spatial attention

  • Feature-based attention

  • Spotlight attention

Explanation

Which of the following would result in the most interference from a distractor?

Select one of the following:

  • High working memory load + Low perceptual load

  • High working memory load + High perceptual load

  • Low working memory load + High perceptual load

  • Low working memory load + Low perceptual load

Explanation

Question 7 of 12

1

What are some characteristics of Biederman's Recognition by Components theory?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Object recognition is viewpoint independant

  • Object recognition is viewpoint dependant

  • Objects made out of geons

  • Bottom up processing

  • Top down processing

Explanation

Question 8 of 12

1

Multiple-view recognition states that..

Select one of the following:

  • Recognition of varying perspectives of an object involves seeing the object from that perspective and remembering it.

  • Once we see an object we can immediately recognise it from different perspectives without previously seeing those perspectives.

  • We construct an object from our experience of multiple perspectives and geons of that object.

  • Object recognition is viewpoint independent.

Explanation

Question 9 of 12

1

Using novel stimuli, objects were less successfully recognised at differing viewpoints. Which theory does this evidence support?

Select one of the following:

  • Multiple-view recognition theory

  • Recognition by Components theory

  • Fusiform Expertise theory

  • Object recognition theory

Explanation

Question 10 of 12

1

What are some of the affects that arise due to the way we process faces?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Face-inversion effect

  • Part-whole effect

  • Composite effect

  • Prosopagnostic effect

  • Holistic processing effect

  • Face blindness effect

  • Component effect

Explanation

Question 11 of 12

1

The FFA was found to light up in response to faces for all participants. It also lit up in response to cars in car experts and to rocks for geologists but not vice versa. What does this suggest about the nature of responding in the FFA?

Select one of the following:

  • That the FFA is used for processing stimuli we are extremely familiar with.

  • That the FFA is specifically just for face processing.

  • That the FFA activates for objects and faces indiscriminately.

  • The FFA processes stimuli in its separate components rather than holistically.

Explanation

  • Neutral

  • Fear
