P1 Attention Flashcards
Cocktail party phenomenon
a process in which the auditory attention is focused on a specific stimulus while the other stimuli are filtered out
Shadowing
a process in which you listen to two different messages but only focus on one
Selective attention
the processes that allow you to focus on a particular stimulus for further processing while simultaneously suppressing irrelevant information
Results Dichotic experiment (Colin Sherry)
Majority succeeded, but required lots of concentration
Researchers say that those who switched to the _____ message when hearing their name had a limited ______
Unattended + working-memory capacity
Three factors that improve selective listening
- Distinctive sensory characteristics (pitch, pacing)
- Sound intensity
3.Location of sound
For selective listening, _____ are less important than factors like ____ and ____
Spatial cues less important that harmony and rhythm
Selective attention: a filter ________
a filter blocks informations out
Selective attention: a bottleneck _____
a bottleneck slows down the flow of information
Does Broadbent’s model have a filter/bottleneck?
Broadbent’s model has a filter
In Broadbent’s model ____ channels reach the selective filter, but ____ channel goes through to perceptual processes
“Multiple” channels go reach selective filter but “only one” goes to processing
According to Moray’s Selective Filter Model, ______ can break through the filtering mechanism
Personally important messages can break through the filter
Does Treisman’s Attenuation Model have a filter/bottleneck?
Treisman’s Attenuation Model has a bottleneck
Treisman’s Attenuation Model: When unattended stimuli reaches us we analyze them at a ____ level on the basis of ____
We analyze them at a “low” level on the basis of “physical characteristics”
The filter in Deutsch’s Late-Filter Model is ____ perceptual processes
The filter is “after” perceptual processes
