Week 2 - Attention and Research Methods

Pregunta 1 de 10

In an experiment exploring the role of working memory in the ability to ignore auditory distractors, the experimenters split subjects into high working memory load, low working memory load and no load groups. It was found that it was found that subjects under high working memory load were more susceptible to distraction than those with low or no load.

How many levels of IV was there in this experiment?

The cocktail party phenomenon:

In dichotic listening tasks participants will not notice the repetition of the same word over and over again in the unattended ear but will notice if their name is mentioned.

What does this result tell us about our ability to notice unattended stimuli?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • That the unattended stimuli is processed semantically to some point and not just its physical characteristics.

  • That unattended stimuli are limited to processing of physical properties only.

  • That unattended stimuli are filtered early on.

In Johnston and Wilsons (1980) experiment,subjects are asked to respond yes/no if a target is in a certain category. An ambiguous target was paired with either a neutral, appropriate or inappropriate paring in the unattended ear, for example, organ could be matched with church (appropriate), paper (neutral) or kidney (inappropriate).

The resulting improved accuracy under the appropriate condition compared to the neutral and inappropriate conditions tells us what about the level of semantic processing in unattended stimuli and?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • The information in the unattended ear is semantically processed to some degree and influences the judgement of the attended ear.

  • The information in the unattended ear is not processed semantically and so has no influence over the judgement of the attended ear.

  • Participants are able to consciously choose whether or not unattended information is processed semantically or not.

  • Unattended stimuli are filtered early on, as in broadbents filter model.

In Shiffrin and Shneiders study, participants learned to do a task over many trials searching in a set area until the task become automatic. Participants were then told to respond to trials in a subsection of the same area but found it difficult to restrict their responding to the smaller area.

Which feature of automaticity does this result explain?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • Unavoidability

  • Fast processing

  • Unconscious processing

  • Requiring little attentional capacity

Explicación

Instance theory describes automaticity as the result of memorised responses, hence requiring litle attentional capacity.
