Document Summary
Illusory conjunction: when we limit attention (e. g. not enough time or dividing attention) you can combine features wrong (e. g. red a and blue m but we say we saw red m) Orienting: selective attention: focusing of attention on a specific object, message, or locations, orienting: the alignment of info pick- up mechanisms with the source of info. Exogenous orienting: exogenous cues tend to be in periphery and non-predictive. Cost of action: verbal and visual report were over-estimates, while haptic reports were more accurate. If you can make something costlier can you change how people percive the action: haptically you resist over-estimation bc you want your action system to be active accurately to reality as possible. If you make something seem costlier you can change how people percive it and this must do with the amount of effort perceived for action: counter-argument: participant bias; people just find out what you are trying to do.
