1. In the early stages of visual processing model, which stage has the slowest readout and which has the fastest readout?

  • Visual code=fastest, name code= slowest
  • Both stages co-occur
  • Name code=fastest, visual code=slowest
  • Equally fast

2. What did a mental transformation study using rotated letters by Cooper&Shepard (1973) show?

  • That mental simulation was not an efficient way of completing matching tasks
  • That pps mentally simulated the physical event of a rotated letter in order to efficiently perform during matching
  • That there was evidence of a visual code store during matching
  • Pps retrieved the information of the letter form from the visual code

3. What is a temporal hierarchy?

  • Different forms of information take different amounts of time to recover from visual input
  • Another name for iconic memory
  • The speed at which pictoral information is recovered
  • Knowledge of how objects behave and appear arranged in a hierarchy of highest to lowest frequency

4. What does evidence suggest about visual reasoning?

  • Visual reasoning is a purely physical process, there is no cognitive abilities utilised
  • Humans naturally adopt mental simulation strategies, reflecting how problem solving+perception are closely linked
  • The only way humans solve visual problems is through deductive reasoning

5. What did Posner & Mitchell (1967) find?

  • Pps were equally fast at all matching tasks
  • Pps were slowest at vowel matches and fastest at consonant matches
  • Pps were all fastest when repsonding to physical form matches and slowest when responding to consonant matches
  • Pps were all faster at responding to name matches rather than physical
