Iconic memory
Semantic memory
Echoic memory
Episodic memory
7. In Broadbent’s Filter Model, where does the bottleneck appear?
After the sensory store
After the selective filter
Before the selective filter
Before the attenuator
8. According to Broadbent’s Filter Model, which of the following becomes the focus of attention?
The stimuli passing the sensory store
The stimuli passing the filter
The stimuli that's passed the attenuator
The unattended stimuli
9. What is the definition of selective attention?
None of these
When we allocated our available attentional resource to coordinate our performance on more than one task at one time
When we choose to attend to some stimuli & ignore others
When we detect the appearance of a particular stimulus
10. Which theory of attention attempted to account for the findings of Cherry & Mowbray?
Broadbent's Filter Theory
Marozeau's Top Down Theory
Treisman's Attenuation Theory
Deutsch & Deutsch's Processing Theory
11. The focus of attention is determined by three components. Which of the following is NOT one of them?
A channel of limited capacity
A selective filter
An attenuation device
A detector
12. Donald is at the doctors. He hears a patient’s name called out in the waiting room but is unable to remember it a few seconds later. What is this an example of?
Episodic memory
Semantic memory
Echoic memory
Iconic memory
13. What is the first component of Broadbent’s Filter Model?
Detector
Memory

14. Which models suggest that attention is the bottleneck that limits the perceptual analysis of stimuli?
Early Selection Models
Dependent Selection Models
Late Selection Models
Independent Selection Models
15. According to Galotti (2014), what are the three purposes of attention?
Monitoring our interactions with the environment
Allows us to concentrate on two tasks at the same time
Linking our past & present to give us a sense of continuity of experience
Controlling & planning our future actions
16. Who developed the Filter Theory?
Donald Broadbent
Mike Posner
Colin Cherry
Sir Francis Galton
17. Lizzie is completing a research study for university credit. In the task, she must sit with headphones and have a different message played into each ear & then has to attend to one. What type of task is Lizzie completing?
Dichotic listening task
Sensory register task
Attenuation task
Shadowing task
18. What was the first flowchart model of human processing?
Deutsch & Deutsch's Processing Theory
Broadbent's filter model
Treisman's attenuation model
Marozeau's Top Down Theory
19. What did Cherry find when studying the Cocktail Party Phenomenon?
When voices had different physical properties, participants could not separate the messages using meaning only
When voices had the same physical properties, participants could not separate the messages using meaning only
When voices had the same physical properties, participants could only separate the messages using meaning half of the time
When voices had different physical properties, participants could always separate the messages using meaning only
20. Which of the following statements about Broadbent’s Filter Theory are incorrect?
Information is filtered based on physical characteristics (e.g. pitch/tone)
The sensory store holds incoming information for a fraction of a second
Multiple input channels can be processed at a time
The detector processes higher level characteristics (e.g. meaning)
