Document Summary
In order for us to remember something we have to actually pay attention so in order for something to potentially be remembered it must be attended to first. Parallel processing: process information from different visual features at the same time by focusing on targets. Attention is selective: it has to be selective because it is limited: we can only focus on certain pieces of information and not everything targets help us with this focusing. Shadowing: the participant receives a different auditory message in each ear, but is required to repeat only one. Change blindness: the common failure for people to notice large changes in their environment couldn"t notice the guy had changed when giving directions. We are able to process the image all at once. The reaction time does not change if more distractors are added and it doesn"t affect processing time.
