BISC 121Lg Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Occipital Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Feature Integration Theory
Document Summary
Practice enables you to do things simultaneously that were initially difficult to do at the same time. Schneider and shiffrin divided attention between remembering targets and monitoring. Lecture 8 rapidly presented stimuli: became automatic after ~600 trials, practice makes divided attention possible, practice results in automatic processing, sometimes focusing on things makes it more difficult. If you ask a pianist to focus on the movements of their individual fingers, they"re going to mess up. Strayer and johnston simulated driving task: participants on the cell phone missed 2x as many red lights and it took longer for them to apply the breaks. Binding- features joining to form what we see: fit- feature integration theory. Object preattentive stage focused attention stage perception. Preattentive stage analyzes the features as free floating features . The features are combined in the focused attention stage. Treisman and schmidt- presented objects very quickly. Participants report combination of features from different objects making up a single object.
