Document Summary
Filter theory: info goes through the selective lter then wm then ltm. We have lters within us so we have enough space for important info. Lters prioritize then we act accordingly - only select what is important, then what is unimportant gets discarded and is gone forever. Eeg: p1(visual processing) &n1 are visually evoked waves. Attention boosts info processing in speci c areas (p1 and n1) then a person becomes more reactive to the environment and stimulus. Attention boosts the signal and maybe dampens the noise. Hearing a relevant convo and looking over (this means not everything is ltered out with attention) Proves early selection wrong as well as the lter theory. Attenuation theory: sensory inputs - registration - perceptual analysis - semantic encoding - memory - decision. Turns out, non-relevant info are not discarded, they"re just pushed aside (on the verge of being aware) Increased processing demands caused by de cient sensory input gating.
