Question 1

According to Broadbent's filter model of attention, what is the primary function of the 'attention flap' or filter?

Accepted Answer

To prioritize and allow only selected sensory information to pass through for further processing

Question 2

In Cherry's dichotic listening experiments, what could participants typically report about the unattended message?

Accepted Answer

The physical properties such as pitch and loudness

Question 3

Which of the following best describes selective attention?

Accepted Answer

The ability to focus on a particular thing and ignore everything else

Question 4

Moray (1959) found that participants could sometimes recognize their own name in the unattended ear during a shadowing task. What does this finding support?

Accepted Answer

Late selection theory

Question 5

Which model of attention is illustrated by the following sequence: Sensory store → Filter → Pattern recognition → Selection → Short-term memory?

Accepted Answer

Broadbent's early selection model

Question 6

In the context of attention, what is 'inattentional blindness'?

Accepted Answer

The failure to perceive an object or event due to attention being directed elsewhere

Question 7

Which real-world scenario best illustrates change blindness?

Accepted Answer

Not noticing that a scarf disappears and plates change color between two views of a scene

Question 8

According to Kahneman's resource theory, what happens when you try to perform two demanding tasks at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Performance on both tasks generally worsens due to limited attentional resources

Question 9

The Stroop Task provides evidence for which theory of attention?

Accepted Answer

Late selection theory

Question 10

Which of the following is a key difference between early and late selection theories of attention?

Accepted Answer

Early selection theory posits that filtering occurs before recognition, while late selection theory posits that filtering occurs after recognition

Question 11

In Treisman's attenuation model, why are some unattended words (like your own name) more likely to be recognized?

Accepted Answer

They have a lower recognition threshold

Question 12

Which experiment demonstrated that people can attend to only one action at a time in a composite video showing two activities?

Accepted Answer

Neisser & Becklen's hand-slapping and ball-toss video

Question 13

What is the main implication of the 'cocktail party effect' for theories of attention?

Accepted Answer

It suggests that some unattended information can be processed for meaning

Question 14

Which of the following best describes divided attention?

Accepted Answer

Simultaneously processing multiple things

Question 15

In the context of driving, what do studies suggest about using a cell phone?

Accepted Answer

It increases the likelihood of missing important signals and slows reaction time

Question 16

Which of the following is a real-world consequence of change blindness?

Accepted Answer

Failing to notice a major continuity error in a movie scene

Question 17

According to the resource theory of attention, what is the relationship between the amount of attention allocated to a task and performance?

Accepted Answer

Performance improves as more attention is allocated

Question 18

Which experimental finding challenged Broadbent's early selection model by showing that meaning could be extracted from unattended information?

Accepted Answer

Subjects grouped stimuli by meaning, not by ear, in a dichotic listening task

Question 19

Which of the following best describes the main idea behind the 'bottleneck' in attention models?

Accepted Answer

The rate of sensory input exceeds the rate at which information can be processed, requiring prioritization
