Chapter 4 CSV

Question 1

Three differences Between Hearing and Vision

Answer 1

;Spatial aspect of auditory processing is different than that of visual processing and Auditory stimuli are combined before sensory processing begins and Constraints on research using auditory stimuli

Question 2

Major findings in this Dichotic Listening Paradigm reveal insights into the following two types of attention

Answer 2

;Selective and divided attention

Question 3

Connection between ears Interference and Selection

Answer 3

;Ears act as information channels and interference can occur when multiple sounds are presented

Question 4

Which two things can help in selecting which information to focus on

Answer 4

;Localization and temporal cues

Question 5

Pitch as a Filter

Answer 5

;People can notice changes in pitch and even identify the gender of unattended messages

Question 6

Processing Own Name and indication of this finding

Answer 6

;Our brains are capable of processing our own name even when it is in an unattended message
Additionally, there is semantic analysis happening for unattended words

Question 7

The dichotic listening paradigm shows that people can direct attention to just one source of stimulation when

Answer 7

;the source is well defined by a basic characteristic such as location

Question 8

Selection of information for report can be based on

Answer 8

;higher level and semantic properties of the stimuli

Question 9

Effects of Auditory Cues on Visual Perception

Answer 9

;People were faster and more likely to detect the visual target when it was on the same side as the auditory cue

Question 10

Attentional Capture by Auditory Stimuli

Answer 10

;Auditory system has a change detection system that interrupts processing when a change occurs

Question 11

Effect of Expectations on Auditory Detection

Answer 11

;Listeners are better at detecting expected frequencies compared to unexpected frequencies so that means that Listeners can set an attentional filter for multiple target frequencies

Question 12

Attentional Set and Response Uncertainty

Answer 12

;Attentional set reduces response uncertainty rather than making us more sensitive to stimuli

Question 13

Effects of Location on simple detection accuracy of auditory stimuli

Answer 13

;Simple detection accuracy of a target does not benefit from knowing its location

Question 14

Auditory signals capture attention quickly, making the effects of location knowledge small/big

Answer 14

small

Question 15

Spatial position may or may not be important to auditory perception

Answer 15

;Spatial position may not be important to auditory perception

Question 16

Effects of Attention in Tactile Modality

Answer 16

;Concentrating on a space enhances the perception of touch in that area

Question 17

Effects of Attention on Thermal Stimulation

Answer 17

;Anticipated thermal stimuli are rated as more intense and unpleasant and Distracting a patient can make painful treatments more tolerable

Question 18

Effects of Visual and Auditory Information Processing on Each Other

Answer 18

;Doing visual tasks can affect how you process auditory information
