Document Summary

When choose to boost processing we choose to pay more attention to the desired stimulus. Same thing applies with ffa and faces: attention can dial up or dial down processing, which directly affects memory. The right n170 is a brain wave selective for faces. 170ms after seeing a face this brain wave occurs in the right hemisphere: however when you pay attention to remembering faces the n170 occurs faster, when trying to forget faces the n170 occurs slower. Controlled attention and stimulus processing: a developmental perspective: younger vs. older adults. In older adults it is more difficult to ignore scenes than younger adults: suggest aging may compromise the ability to use attention to drive down processing. Stroop task is difficult because we must use controlled processing to override automatic processing (automatic process is to just read the word the colour says instead of the actual colour of the letters/word) Controlled processing the role of the frontal lobes.
