Document Summary

Damage tends to be bilteral at the occipitotemporal border. Able to perceive things to the point they can duplicate it point by point. Relative to lesion in apperceptive agnosia, the typical lesion in associative agnosia is more ventral. The bright spot on stage corresponds to consciousness (what we are attending to) Sensory stimuli compete for access to the bright spot . The theater stage corresponds to working memory. Everything else is unconscious (e. g. long-term memory, language, etc. ) Idea: we can aliked our consciousness to what"s on the stage Learning outcomes (attention): for this section of the course (lecture 4 & chapter 4) you should be able to: 1) describe and differentiate different models of selective attention. 3) describe real world implications for divided attention. We limit what we pay attention to / focus on at a given moment. Information is processed differently depending on whether we focus on it.
