Document Summary
Dichotic listening listening to two streams of auditory stimuli, but focusing on only one stream some parts of the unattended stream leak through and are noticed. Two pro cessing strategies we try to block the distracting information and promote the pro cessing of desired stimuli. Inattentional blindness failing to notice events in a scene due to a lack of attention there is no conscious perception without attention. Change blindness inability to detect changes between scenes, occurring in pictures, movies, and even real- life events. Early versus late selection competing theories about when the perceiver selects the desired input and decides to stop pro cessing other input. Priming attention can be directed and prepared for events through priming. Spatial attention ability to focus attention on a speci c area in space. Searchlight attention has been characterized as a spotlight that can shine only on certain areas at a time, and is capable of moving around quickly.
