Question 1

Question
Knowing where someones eyes are looking is an accurate way of knowing what they are attending to.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 2

Question
Having your attention drawn to the person late to the tutorial as they enter is a form of...
Answer
  • Exogenous cue
  • Endogenous
  • Top down attention
  • Internal attention
  • External cue

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

Question
Which of the following would result in the most interference from a distractor?
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?
Answer
  • Joy
  • Neutral
  • Fear
  • Confidence
