Neuro
This area of the brain is controls the "central executive" of working memory
What is the prefrontal cortex?
This theory suggests that we developed perception because of evolution
What is the theory of natural selection?
This model of attention proposes that the filter eliminates the unattended information at the beginning
What is Broadbent’s filter model of attention?
This element of Baddley’s Working Memory Model holds verbal and auditory information for brief periods of time
What is the phonological loop/store?
This brain NETWORK (not specific area) is important for cognitive control
What is the executive attention network?
This theory suggests that frequently occurring characteristics of the environment affect our perception.
What are "regularities in our environment?"
This model of attention has a dictionary unit with words that are activated at different thresholds.
What is Treisman attenuation model of attention?
This element of Baddley’s Working Memory Model does the “work” of working memory.
What is the central executive?
This area of the brain is known as the "what pathway."
What is the temporal lobe?
This theory in perception states perception is affected by experience, but built-in principles can override experience
What are the Gestalt laws of organization?
This theory focuses on processing capacity and perceptual load
What is the load theory of attention?
This element of Baddley’s Working Memory Model aids in finding your way through space.
What is the visuospatial sketch pad?
When monkeys had this part of their brain removed, they could no longer do the "object location" task.
What is the "where pathway" or parietal lobe?
This theory of perception states that individuals make predictions under the surface to determine what an object is.
What is Helmholtz’s Theory of Unconscious Inference?
This model of attention states that the filter does not select the stimuli until after what we hear is analyzed for its meaning
What is the late selection model (Mackay, 1973)?
This element of Baddley’s Working Memory Model increases the storage of working memory by communicating with long term memory
What is the episodic buffer?
This term refers to how easily activity can travel along a particular pathway, an important aspect of regulating attention.
What is effective connectivity?
This theory in perception states that perception is our estimate of the probability of an outcome is determined by our priors and likelihood
What is Bayesian Inference?
This theory states how we solve the binding problem.
What is the feature integration theory?
This term is illustrated when one repeats a word such as “the the the” during a memory test which in turn interferes with rehearsal
