Definition
Attention occurs later in the info processing sequence- after the meaning has been determined
- all info in sensory mem is processed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Unattended info is actively inhibited,, not just filtered out and allowed to decay.
-Can be measured using negative priming. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| Reaction time slows on the target trial when that target had been ignored on the previous trial. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| name the word in red ink in trial one, then in trial 2 the word in red ink will be the same word you actively ignored in trial 1 (the green ink) rt will be slower after being actively inhibited. |

|
Definition
Congruent condition( same color font as word-red in red)
Incongruent condition( Red in green)
Neutral condition( non color words printed in a color) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Reaction time is slower in the incongruent condition
-Reading is automatic and difficult to inhibit |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| highly sensative region of the retinal responisble for focused vision, composed of cones |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| rods and cones send info to the bipolar cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| collected messages from the bipolar cells go to the ganglion cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
they leave the eye and form the optic nerve via lgn (the primary visual cortex)
and the superious colliculus of the thalamus |
|
|
Term
| How do eyes transmit visual information to the brain? |
|
Definition
| Each eye transmits visual info to (the visual cortex) the occipital lobes of both hemispheres of the brain. info is processed contralaterally |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| fast sweeping eye movements 25-100ms |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

Term
|
Definition
used a tscope to rapidly present images to the eyes.
whole report condition- asked them to free recall the letters.
partial report condition- played a tone and asked to recal the row of letters corresponding to that tone |

2. Computational demons-one for each simple feature in pattern
3.Cognitive Deamons- One for each pattern
4. Decision Demons- decides which cognitive deamon is loudest. |
