Document Summary

Dichotic listening: participants are presented with two verbal messages simultaneously, typically one to each ear, and are asked to focus on (i. e. pay attention to) only one of them. They are then asked to respond to a series of questions about what they heard, most often about the messages played on the unattended ear. Selective attention: attending to relevant information and ignoring irrelevant ones. Cocktail party phenomenon: the ability to attend to one conversation when many other conversations are going on around you. Shadowing task: a task in which the subject is exposed to two messages simultaneously and must repeat one of them. Filter: a hypothetical mechanism that would admit certain messages and block others. Selective looking: occurs when we are exposed to two events simultaneously but attend to only one of them. Early selection: the hypothesis that attention prevents early perceptual processing of distractors.
