Lecture 23
o What are the basic assumptions of Kahneman’s
capacity model of attention?
1) Arousal affects capacity
2) Feedback affects arousal and the tasks which are
chosen
• Can affect activities and arousal
3) Relatively permanent cues which affect attention
• Certain types of things demand attention (loud noises,
bright lights, fast movement), enduring dispositions.
4) Temporary goals which affect attention
o Distinguish between automatic and controlled
processes (see handout). Think of examples.
Some skills become so well practiced that they require
minimal capacity.
There is a continuum from relatively controlled
processing to relatively automatic processing.
