What is load theory?
The extent to which we are distracted by irrelevant stimuli depends on perceptual and cognitive demand.

What type of attention did Posner study in 1980?
Covert

What is exogenous attention?
Attention that is shifted automatically and is stimulus driven
3 of 20
What is endogenous attention?
Attention that is shifted voluntarily and is goal directed
4 of 20
What does the Attention Network Task allow?
Research into the relationship between working memory and attention
5 of 20
What is the alerting network associated with?
The thalamus
6 of 20
What is the orienting network associated with?
The parietal lobe
7 of 20
What is the executive network associated with?
The gyrus
8 of 20
What does Broadbent claim the attentional filter does?
Acts as a bottleneck so we only process the most significant or relevant information
9 of 20
What is the role of the dorsal system?
Goal directed/top-down processing
10 of 20
The intraparietal cortex and superior frontal cortex are part of which network?
The dorsal network
11 of 20
Which system uses bottom-up processing, and is especially sensitive to salient or unexpected stimuli while acting as a reorienting system?
The ventral system
12 of 20
Which brain areas are associated with the ventral system?
The temporoparietal cortex and the inferior frontal cortex
13 of 20
Who claims the dorsal and ventral networks have a flexible interaction in relation to top-down goals and bottom-up sensory processing?
Vossel, Geng & Fink (2013)
14 of 20
Who found that the alerting network uses norepinephrine from the locus coeruleus, and is related to the dorsal but not ventral pathway?
Peterson & Posner (2012)

Who found that children with ADHD have weak alerting and executive attention, but not orienting?
Mullane et al., (2010)
16 of 20
Who highlighted the role of the insula in processing bottom-up salient events, and facilitation of access to working memory?
Menon & Uddin (2010)
17 of 20
Schizophrenia patients tested with ANT showed poor executive functioning - who researched this?
Orellana et al., (2012)
18 of 20
Who found that activation of working memory by attentional mechanisms is marked by activity in the intraparietal sulcus?
Olivers et al., (2011)
