Answer
Exogenous cue
Endogenous
Top down attention

Question 3
Question
What prediction could we make about responses after invalid cues in Posners' cueing task?
Answer
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.
Question 4
Question
Inhibition of return is a characteristic of...
Answer
Exogenous attention
Endogenous attention
A neurons refractory period
The voluntary attention
Question 5
Question
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?
Answer
Object-based attention
Spatial attention
Feature-based attention
Spotlight attention
Question 6

Answer
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
Question 7
Question
What are some characteristics of Biederman's Recognition by Components theory?
Answer
Object recognition is viewpoint independant
Object recognition is viewpoint dependant
Objects made out of geons
Bottom up processing
Top down processing
Question 8
Question
Multiple-view recognition states that..
Answer
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.
Question 9
Question
Using novel stimuli, objects were less successfully recognised at differing viewpoints. Which theory does this evidence support?
Answer
Multiple-view recognition theory
Recognition by Components theory
Fusiform Expertise theory
Object recognition theory
Question 10
Question
What are some of the affects that arise due to the way we process faces?
Answer
Face-inversion effect
Part-whole effect
Composite effect
Prosopagnostic effect
Holistic processing effect
Face blindness effect
Component effect
Question 11
Question
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?
Answer
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.
Question 12
Question
Which mood state eliminates the performance difference between same and different race recognition tasks?
