Document Summary

Benefits = primed condition - neutral condition. Costs = mislead condition - neutral condition. Orienting system - frontal eye field, superior parietal lobe, temporalparietal junction, pulvinar, superior colliculus. Involved disengaging attention from one thing and moving it to another. Problems - difficulties holding attention (getting distracted) Alerting system - frontal area, posterior area, thalamus. Unilateral neglect syndrome - happens more typically (the neglect) with the left side. Testing for this involves asking an individual drawing a line separating a piece of paper in two, if they have this disorder the line will be extremely off-centre (more like separating 3/4 to 1/4 of the page) Modal model - transfers to the long-term memory. Long-term : all the things we remember. Short-term : holding things in the working memory. Sensory memory - has a smaller role than originally thought - working memory more adaptive. Working memory - meaning ideas are being activated - we are working on them.
