PSC 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Cocktail Party, Cognitive Development, Implicit Memory
Document Summary
Endogenous; require internal knowledge to understand the cue and intention to follow it. Cocktail party effect; example of an endogenous cue ability to hear one voice in a crowd or quickly directing to someone(cid:3244)s voice when you hear your name! Shadowing task; patient given headphones, they are told to focus on the information in one ear (attended channel) and ignore information coming in the other ear (unattended channel. ) Shadowing; repeating anything presented to the attended ear immediately. Sensory register selective filter perceptual processes conscious! We filter based on specific physical characteristics of the input. Things which are not selected, stay in register and decay quickly. Sensory register perceptual processes selective filter conscious. Instead of completely eliminating unattended information, we have an attenuator. Attenuator tones down unattended information rather than eliminating it. Selective priming; encountering something frequently makes it more likely that we will notice it in the future. Priming; exposure to one stimulus affects the response to another stimulus.
