Memory
T/F: Senory memory is connected to perception and attention
What is true
T/F: Inattentional Blindness consists of not being able to perceive things in plain sight
What is True
T/F The phone operator experiment is an example of sensory memory.
What is True?
Performance improves as memory set size and frame size decreases
What is False
T/F Attention is not limited.
What is false?
(A) Iconic (B) Masking (C) Tachistoscope
What is the process by which the perception and storage of stimuli is influenced by events immediately following their presentation?
A.)Inattentional Blindness B.) The Stroop Task C.) Automaticity
What is a task getting easier over time becoming more automatic and requiring less attention
Which of these is not a manipulation for the Automatic and Controlled Attention Experiment?
A. Mapping type B. Memory Set Size C. Speed
Which mapping type includes a mix of letters and digits in a frame and also uses the previous target as a lure
A.) Consistent B.) Varied C.) Neutral
What is the auditory sensory store?
A. Iconic memory B. Echoic Memory C. Sensory memory
Used to measure sensory memory
What is a span of apprehension?
It is difficult to "undo" a habit
What is a disadvantage of automaticity?
Mapping type that has no effect on the memory set size or the frame size.
What is consistent mapping?
Not being able to perceive things that are in plain sight
What is inattentional blindness
Something that is so automatic that we can't suppress it.
What is reading?
Conducted by Jevons to demonstrate the concept of the span of apprehension and thresholds in sensory memory.
What is The Bean Experiment?
Processing two different things, receiving conflicting info and using attention/processing
What is The Stroop Task
A mapping type that is a mix of letters and digits in a frame.
What is varied mapping?
A woman has a guide wire stuck in her torso, numerous doctors observe and study her x-ray but neglect to see the guid wire that is causing her discomfort
What is an example of inattentional blindness that we learned about in class
Conducted by Schilling and Weaver to show how a mask interferes with sensory memory.
What is the Phone Operator Experiment?
A brief stage of memory that holds information for seconds or fractions of second.
What is sensory memory?
Kids in white and black shirts are passing a ball back and forth; while the viewer focuses on how many times the ball is passed a gorilla walks and stops through the kids and often goes unnoticed
What is an example of Inattentional Blindness
A process by which the perception and/or storage of a stimulus is influenced by events occurring immediately after presentation.
What is masking?
Driving during unusual weather, making it so typical driving habits no longer apply
What is an example of a disadvantage automaticity
Something that occurs only with intention, involves conscious awareness, and consumes a lot of attention.
What is controlled processing?
