6. Why does the result found from type distinct searches weaken the claims made?
- Because the two distributions fall on the same point on the x axis, conjunction/type distinct processes are not as independent as first thought
- Because the two distributions fall on different points on the x axis, conjunction/type distinct processes are not as independent as first thought
- This data is NOT evidence of guided search
7. Which test produces evidence indicative of parallel search?
- Feature-search results (feature pop-out)
- Conjunction search results (Serial self-terminating search)
8. Is guided search guided by bottom up or top down features?
- Both
- Neither
- Bottom up
- Top down
9. In the 'two attentional pathways and semantic guidance' model (Wolfe et al, 2011), What are the 3 stages?
- Basic visual properties (low recovery effect) --> Selective pathway v.s non-selective pathway
- Higher semantic information (high recovery effect) --> Selective pathway v.s non-selective pathway
- Basic visual properties (high recovery effect) --> Selective pathway v.s non-selective pathway
- Higher semantic information (low recovery effect) --> Selective pathway v.s non-selective pathway
10. Is it easier or harder to find a target if the non-targets are highly similar? (Non-target similarity)
11. Which of these is NOT correct of automatic processes?
- Obligatory (uncontrolled)
- Infinite capacity
- Fast
- "Processing without attention"
- Not concious
- Effortful
- Practiced
12. What would we expect for type-distinct searches?
- A NORMAL distribution of slope values
- A BImodal distribution of slope values
- A UNImodal distribution of slope values
13. What is actually found for type distinct searches?
- A UNImodal distribution of slope values
- A BImodal distribution of slope values
- A NORMAL distribution of slope values
14. Which is faster?
- Neither
- Feature search
- Conjunction search
- Both
15. In which type of process does display size significantly affect RT?
- Serial Search
- Controlled
- Parallel Search
- Automatic
16. Which of these is NOT a conjunction in Feature Integration theory?
- Unattended features (correctly conjoined)
- Attended features (correctly conjoined)
- Predicted features correctly conjoined (unless expectations violated)
- Randomly conjoined features (illusory objects)
17. Which of these is NOT an element used to select/inform in semantic guidance?
- Structure of the scene
- Attributes of the target
- Specific knowledge of the scene
- General knowledge of the scene
18. In the 'two attentional pathways and semantic guidance' model (Wolfe et al, 2011), what does the non-selective pathway lead to?
- Non-specific gist recovery
- Selective bottleneck
- Semantic guidanance
- Recognition
19. What was found in a threat detection study by Tipples et al (2002)?
- Aswell as threat 'pop-out', found an animal superiority effect for threat (not well controlled)
- Only found threat pop out
- Only found animal superiority effect
- The study was poorly controlled, so much so that no conclusions could be drawn
20. What is the main premise of Feature Integration Theory (Treisman & Schmidt 1982)?
- The attentional world is parsed into a collection of features in parallel, intergration of these features into categories then occurs
- The attentional world is parsed into a collection of features serially, intergration of these features into categories then occurs
